Hello,

is there a builtin function in the menus to say "only add pagination if absolutely necessary", so for CS:S if more than 9 entries and for CS:GO if more than 8 entries are available?

I'd like to ask before I manually count my entries and then call

PHP Code:

SetMenuPagination(menu, MENU_NO_PAGINATION); 


dependent on the count.

Oh, a second question comes into my mind. Am I able to display more metadata e. g. always before entry #5? To show metadata on the top, I use SetMenuTitle together with some \n for new lines. Are there better ways?

Thanks!

I'm not somewhere where I can test this, but this should take into account all the weird corner cases.

PHP Code:

stock AutoPaginate(Handle:menu)
{
    if (menu == INVALID_HANDLE)
    {
        ThrowError("Invalid menu Handle");
        return;
    }
    
    // GetMaxPageItems reads from GameData for game-specific corrections and should be correct for CS:GO
    new itemsPerPage = GetMaxPageItems(GetMenuStyle(menu));
    
    new bool:pageOneHasExtraItem = false;
    
    if (GetMenuExitButton(menu))
    {
        itemsPerPage--;
    }
    
    if (GetMenuOptionFlags(menu) | MENUFLAG_BUTTON_NOVOTE)
    {
        pageOneHasExtraItem = true;
    }
    
    new count = GetMenuItemCount(menu);
    
    if (count <= (pageOneHasExtraItem ? itemsPerPage - 1 : itemsPerPage ))
    {
        SetMenuPagination(menu, MENU_NO_PAGINATION);
    }
    else
    {
        SetMenuPagination(menu, itemsPerPage - 2);
    }
} 


As for meta-data, you can (probably) add it as an ITEMDRAW_RAWLINE and it will be printed without a number. However, it still counts as a menu item.

Edit: fixed the above since No Vote only appears on the first page of a vote.
