using group() breaks getSelectCountSql in magento

When I\'m using

$collection->getSelect()->group(\'entity_id\')

or

$collection->groupByAttribute(\'entity_id\')
<         


        

Answer 1

in some cases, the method from Eric doesn't work.

It's better to rewrite the getSize() method to

    public function getSize()
{
    if (is_null($this->_totalRecords)) {
        $sql = $this->getSelectCountSql();

        $result = $this->getConnection()->fetchAll($sql, $this->_bindParams);;

        foreach ($result as $row) {
            $this->_totalRecords += reset($row);
        }

    }
    return intval($this->_totalRecords);
}
