Control over pager

I would like to display only the last 5 events logged by activity.module in the user profile pages, without the pager. I think the activity_table function should offer control over the display of the pager. Here is my solution:

function activity_table($activities, $showpager = 'TRUE') {
  $display_headers = array(
    'created' => array('field' => 'created', 'data' => t('Date')),
    //t('Visible to'),
    t('Message'),
  );
  $rows = array();
  foreach ($activities as $activity) {
    if ($activity['target_uid'] == ACTIVITY_ALL) {
      $visible_to = t('Everyone');
    }
    else if ($activity['target_uid'] == $user->uid) {
      $visible_to = t('You');
    }
    else {
      // TODO: if this column gets reinstated load the user information differently
      $visible_to = theme('username', user_load(array('uid' => $activity['target_uid'])));
    }
    if ($activity_message = activity_token_replace($activity)) {
      $rows[] = array(
        format_date($activity['created'], 'small'),
        //$visible_to,
        theme('activity', $activity_message, $activity),
      );
    }
  }
  $output = theme('table', $display_headers, $rows);
  if ($showpager == TRUE) {
    $output .= theme('pager');
  }
  return $output;
}

No other changes should be necessary as the pager will default to TRUE unless FALSE is specified.

In my user_profile.tpl.php I can now hide the pager like so:

$useractivity = activity_get_activity($account->uid, NULL, 5);
activity_table($useractivity, FALSE)
