Stumped: sorting page_list results by a custom attribute, how to control the results count in 5.7?

Permalink
I am using a custom page_list template to sort and filter page results by a custom attribute. In 5.6 I could control the number of page results to display with $pl->get();. I could pass an integer for the number of page results I wanted to display, in 5.7 this doesn't seem to work.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Example:
<?php
$pl = new PageList();
$pl->filterByCollectionTypeHandle('event_entry');
$datetime = strtotime('-1 day');
$mysqldate = date("Y-m-d H:i:s", $datetime);
$pl->filterbyAttribute('event_date_time', $mysqldate, '>');
$pl->sortBy('ak_event_date_time', 'asc');
// in 5.6 this would control the number of page results to display
// it would get 5 pages that met the filter and sort
// $pl->get(5);
$pages = $pl->get();
?>

The PageList get() function was deprecated. The new way I believe is to use the pagination object (see code snippet) but I'm still not sure you can only get X pages of results.

$pagination = $pl->getPagination();
$pages = $pagination->getCurrentPageResults();


I'm actually not sure why you would only want to get 5 pages here? If it's going to be paginated anyway why limit this here?

Sorry, to be more specific, I am looking to limit the number of results not pages of results.

"$pagination = $pl->getPagination();
$pages = $pagination->getCurrentPageResults();"

I will give this a shot, thank you.

I often use the page_list without pagination. For example, I might have a home page section that lists the next upcoming 5 events (just the 5, without pagination).

O gotcha,

I think that you could maybe just set the "MaxPerPage" property, then just pull back the first page yes?

(stab in the dark below)
$pagination = $pl->getPagination();
$pagination->setMaxPerPage(5);
$pages = $pagination->getCurrentPageResults();


Edit: For clarity I simply misunderstood since by "Pages" you were referring to the number of objects in the list, I was stuck on pagination.

That worked, thank you very much.
