What potential pitfalls should beginners using SMARTY be aware of when trying to implement a pagination feature?

One potential pitfall for beginners using SMARTY to implement a pagination feature is not properly handling the calculation of the total number of pages based on the total number of items and items per page. This can lead to incorrect pagination links being displayed or errors when navigating through the pages. To solve this, make sure to correctly calculate the total number of pages and adjust the pagination links accordingly. 

// Calculate total number of pages
$totalItems = count($items);
$itemsPerPage = 10;
$totalPages = ceil($totalItems / $itemsPerPage);

// Display pagination links
$smarty->assign('totalPages', $totalPages);
$smarty->display('pagination.tpl');
