pagination

[arfa]

I am just getting started. Bludit has been on my list for a long time +++

I have moderate php/code experience. Starting with blogx theme.
I see in the blogx/php/home.php there is a code block comd: Pagination
This offers a 'home' > 'next' option. Great. But I wonder if there is a numbered pagination method: something like...
first 1 2 3 ... next last - this is pretty standard.

I see in the plugins list [about 3/4 down] there is
PAGINATION
Made by SamBrishes, pytesNET
the link...
https://plugins.bludit.com/plugin/pagination#download
shows 'not found'

1 - does anyone have a copy of this plugin (assuming it still works
2 - is there an alternative?

thx - Kusalo

I found this when searching 'plugins'
viewtopic.php?p=13256#p13256
but the offered links are not working.

I've manually coded pagination into a few of my Bludit sites. I'll see if I can convert it into a plugin in the next day or two.

Just released our Simple Pagination plugin here if you're interested.

That looks fine. Just a note: the landing page does not show any pagination. I had to click around to find a 1 2 3 example. No big deal. It is very early morning here in New Zealand so I will get back to this.
Thank you.

2 - is there an alternative?

have a look at paginator.class in /kernel/helpers
there's already an inbuilt, and ready to use bootstrap_html() function

home page pagination is not site-build critical so I have not given much time to your suggestion Jay regarding the bootstrap_html() function

There is also my coding limitations - generally and bludit specific - so it currently feels that this would require a bit of more direct guidance. ie. how to activate that function into home.php?

a kick starter plz.?

Check available bludit's themes. I remember some of them had numbered pagination instead of basing only on default prev/next, thus you could check their sourcecode.

[arfa]

Yes, a good suggestion. I was just about to say but... bludit.com is down - but it is back up. YAY! Well done to all those who were working on that.

I will trawl a few themes and see what comes up and report back.

I have spent far too long trawling themes but found a jewel - blekathon. All it required was replacing the existing code in blogx/php/home.php - at the bottom. I imagine it can be used for other themes. The theme has an MIT license so I figure it is OK to post the code here...
Thanks to the good people @ blthemes.pp.ua

Code: Select all

<!-- Pagination -->
<?php if (Paginator::numberOfPages() > 1) : ?>
<!-- START this pagination taken from Blekathlon theme -->
<nav class="navigation pagination" role="navigation" aria-label="Page navigation">
			<h3 class="screen-reader-text">Posts navigation</h3>
			<div class="nav-links">

				<?php if (Paginator::showPrev()):?>
				<a class="prev page-numbers" href="<?php echo Paginator::previousPageUrl() ?>" tabindex="-1">
					<?php echo $L->get('Previous'); ?>
				</a>
				<?php endif ?>

				<?php
                  //max 9 pages with move
                  $pmax = max(Paginator::currentPage() + 4, 9);
                  $pmin = min(Paginator::currentPage() - 4, Paginator::numberOfPages()-8);
                ?>
				<?php for ($i = max(1, $pmin); $i <= min($pmax,Paginator::numberOfPages()); $i++): ?>
				<?php if(Paginator::currentPage() == $i): ?>
				<span class="page-numbers current">
					<?php echo $i ?>
				</span>
				<?php else: ?>
				<a class="page-numbers" href="<?php echo Paginator::numberUrl($i) ?>">
					<?php echo $i ?>
				</a>
				<?php endif; ?>
				<?php endfor; ?>

				<?php if (Paginator::showNext()):?>
				<a class="next page-numbers" href="<?php echo Paginator::nextPageUrl() ?>">
					<?php echo $L->get('Next'); ?>
				</a>
				<?php endif ?>

			</div>
		</nav>
<!-- END blekathlon pagination -->
  
<?php endif ?>

Another happy ending
