1064 Error when clicking on "Specials"

[dinohaven]

I am receiving an odd error when I click on specials (I have active specials right now):

 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

"1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '-9, 9' at line 1

 

select p.products_id, pd.products_name, p.products_price, p.products_tax_class_id, p.products_image, s.specials_new_products_price from products p, products_description pd, specials s where p.products_status = '1' and s.products_id = p.products_id and p.products_id = pd.products_id and pd.language_id = '1' and s.status = '1' order by s.specials_date_added DESC limit -9, 9"

 

 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

I am NOT getting this error because my content = 0 (a familiar bug when I see 1064). Instead, I have 2 active specials going on right now. Any advice as to why this is coming about????

 

Thanks,

Well the negative limit (-9, 9) is invalid on your newer version of mysql.

 

1. I would apply the changes to split_page_results.php (both admin and catalog versions).

 

2. If you are still getting the negative lower limit then it must be comming from a contribution that is generating the sql code. Have you installed any contributions regarding specials? If so you'll need to check the code.
