 Description   

Hi,

I know this issue/topic has already been discussed a little bit.

I am working for a client and I can only request from "my" server to his ZABBIX server ; no modification possible on the client's ZABBIX server.

I need an offset parameter in the API request (used with limit) so I can code a pagination on the WordPress website I am developing.

Too many results in my tables on the page, I need to paginate.

The previous ticket says something about a patch, I can't patch the code on the ZABBIX server as I already said.

Which solution do I have ?

On my opinion it is useless and idiot to request the full results from my page because then I have to add a complexity layer in my WordPress website's code to handle all these results - I save datas nowhere, I only display them (they are not even cached ; this is mandatory).

I hope you understand my issue - the project is expected to be published soon and I want to avoid extra-complexity if possible especially because it seems it is quite an ordinary need.

I hope you can provide tips or answers guys.

Thank you in advance,

Best regards.

Hi,

This issue was closed because it is a duplicate. I understand and I knew it is a duplicate.

But it doesn't help me at the moment. I get it, this feature is really not available but if the issue remains open maybe some people around can give me an advice or a workaround ?

It is not only about a "missing feature" it is really about something I have to solve and the issue closed I won't get any useful reply I guess.

Maybe I am wrong about how works this forum but I hoped I could get tips for my problem more than "duplicate and closed issue".

Thank you.

RENAN SAVIDAN, this is not the way it works here (and on any other issue tracker, I believe). We have only one ticket per request. Why? Because this way a request will get more votes and potentially will be implemented sooner. Besides, all the information being in single place is easier. Do you agree? People know, if they found a duplicate there is definitely a link to the issue it duplicates and they will go and add vote/comment there. I hope you understand the idea.

OK OK I won't insist 

It's just I don't know where else I could ask my question - I still have no workaround...

Thank you,

Regards.
