I want to avoid duplicate titles/descriptions on pages (P1,P2...) so I want to add Page 1, Page 2 in the page title.
Is there a way to know if we are on pagination and which page it is, but outside of pagination tags? Maybe Stash or something like that?
Thank you
I wrote a plugin a while back to do this. It was the first one I wrote so apologies in advance if it's not up to scratch.
Example is included in the plugin usage, but basically, place {exp:page_number url_segment="{segment_1}" limit="5"} somewhere in your template.
Parameters:
url_segment: the segment which contains your page number
limit: the same value you have in your channel entries tag which limits the number of entries shown per page
With Stash, inside you pagination tag pair you could do:
{paginate}
{exp:stash:set name="page_number"}
Page {current_page}
{/exp:stash:set}
{!-- any other pagination stuff here --}
{/paginate}
Which would give you "Page X" accessible as {exp:stash:get name="page_number"}.
Another potential is to use Mo' Variables, which provides a Pagination Detect Conditional and Page Offset as {if paginated} and {page_offset}, respectively.
So for example
{if paginated}This is a paginated view{/if}
But I just realized {page_offset} isn't going to be quite what you wanted. It will give you some multiple of whatever you have in your limit parameter so will not directly give you "Page 1" "Page 2" etc.
