[LOW:FIXED:1.0.11] Possible Bug - Division by zero

[technopuzzle]

I'm assuming this is the correct place to post. I'm not really sure if it would be considered a bug, but I'll leave that to the all-mighty developers and such. If you need further information I may be contacted via my profile.

Description:
Created a menu link using BLOG CONTENT CATEGORY. Set DESCRIPTION and DESCRIPTION IMAGE to show. Set the # LINKS, # INTRO, # LEADING to 0 (zero). Set the # COLUMNS to 1 (one). When clicking on the menu link in the front-end I received the following warning.

Warning: Division by zero in /homepages/htdocs/Joomla/includes/pageNavigation.php on line 95
Warning: Division by zero in /homepages/htdocs/Joomla/includes/pageNavigation.php on line 96

Reported on:
1.0.11 Sunbow

Steps to replicate:
Follow the steps as stated above to replicate. I have replicated this issue on a different Joomla 1.0.11 site, but on the same server and same hosting account.

Moved from Q&T forum.

Add these setting to make it work

Pagination: Hide
Pagination Results: Hide

You can't divide zero into pages

I am experiencing the same error message

Warning: Division by zero in /home/content/s/c/o/scopecreeppm/html/pmprepcast/includes/pageNavigation.php on line 95
Warning: Division by zero in /home/content/s/c/o/scopecreeppm/html/pmprepcast/includes/pageNavigation.php on line 96
End >>

In my case, the error only appears on the home/front page as soon as I publish the first content item to the front page. (If no content item is published to the front page I get the "There are no items to display" message.) Publishing a content item to any page except the front does not lead to the division by zero.

As soon as I set the 'pagination=hide' and 'pagination results=hide' on the front page, then the error disappears. It's a workaround, but I can no longer use the pagination on my home/front page. Pagination on a "blog - content category" page works fine.

Tested and confirmed. Will change status to confirmed/added tracker. The question is if setting links, intro and leading all to zero is a situation one would want to have, since the result is no content at all for this menu item.

To be honest when I discovered the bug I had set it that way for a reason.... now I can't remember why I did. LOL

EDIT: Ok after I posted I remembered why.

In the template I am using (from JoomlaShack) the top-menu (drop-down) and side-menu (text-links) work in conjuction. So if you click on one of the sub-menu items in the top-menu it caused the side-menu to open up and expand to the sub-menu item that was clicked in the top-menu.

I was trying to come up with a way to create a menu link placeholder that allowed my top-menu / side-menu to functionality to work correctly. Because when I used the built-in placeholder option, it caused the side-menu to not function correctly (there was no link available) even though that particular menu item had sub-menu items.

If that's not clear then I can create an example so that you can see what I'm talking about.

Where do you do the settings to "hide" the pagination and pagination results. Yes, I'm pretty new to Joomla but also an easy follower. Am I changing these settings in a php file or withing the backend of Joomla?

Thanks in advance! I love Joomla and everyone that supplies it.

In the Joomla Backend select Menu > Main Menu > Home. The settings for "Pagination" and "Pagination Results" are displayed on the right hand side at about the middle of the page.

Thanks for the info but hiding those 2 settings didn't help. Still have the same "division by zero" error. Thanks again.

This has been fixed in SVN.  Will move to Solved.
