Hi,

I need to fix one issue in Paginate plugin. Let's say I have 2 pages.
[1-20][21-40]. If I access /index.php?next=100 (so the "next" argument is much higher than the "next" argument of the last page) it DOES NOT redirect browser to the last page, but gives no results at all. How can I achieve this ? Pls,

thank you.

Do that in your PHP: test if $next > $total, then set $next = $total.

why dont do it in smarty paginate itself?

Normally there is no need to. If you use the links generated by SmartyPaginate, there should never be a next link bigger than the overall total.

but if a user alters the url by purpose this is something which should be checked by smarty paginate in my opinion

Any and all input from the user should be given a sanity check. SmartyPaginate shouldn't have to guess at what to do with invalid information. This is only one example, there are plenty of other URL vars that can cause problems if adjusted and not checked.
