Custom pager theming examples

This is a page of example code and templates for custom pagers. Please add your own!

Using these examples

Theming a custom pager can involve making several changes to your theme:
- creating a function phptemplate_preprocess_custom_pager in your theme's template.php file
- creating template files in your theme folder, eg. custom-pager.tpl.php

First and Last links

In template.php:

function phptemplate_preprocess_custom_pager(&$vars) {
  // if we're at the end, the nav_array item for this (eg first) is NULL;
  // no need to compare it to current index.
  $vars['first'] = empty($vars['nav_array']['first']) ? '' : l('first', 'node/' . $vars['nav_array']['first']);
  $vars['last'] = empty($vars['nav_array']['last']) ? '' : l('last', 'node/' . $vars['nav_array']['last']);
}

Add a custom-pager.tpl.php:

<ul class="custom-pager custom-pager-<?php print $position; ?>">
  <li class="first"><?php print $first; ?></li>
  <li class="previous"><?php print $previous; ?></li>
  <li class="key"><?php print $key; ?></li>
  <li class="next"><?php print $next; ?></li>
  <li class="last"><?php print $last; ?></li>
</ul>
