Custom Pagination for Dynamic Usability Create a Post  

Custom Pagination for Dynamic Usable. Good night everybody, this time i wanna show simply how to custom pagination for dinamic usability. This usefull if you want display your number of pagination and work with much pagination egg: generic.ListView or other pagination in your views.py

Thereis script:

from django.core.paginator import (Paginator, EmptyPage, PageNotAnInteger)

class Custom_Pagination(object):
    """Custom dinamic paginations for all views bassed in `generic.ListView` or else
    egg: Custom_Pagination(self.get_queryset(), self.paginate_by, self.request.GET.get('page')).pagination()
    """
    def __init__(self, queryset, numb_pages, request_page):
        self.queryset         = queryset             #egg: models.Video.objects.published()
        self.numb_pages     = numb_pages         #egg: int 6 `is number per page`. or from param: `paginate_by` in `generic.ListView`.
        self.request_page     = request_page        #egg: self.request.GET.get('page')

    def pagination(self):
        paginator     = Paginator(self.queryset, self.numb_pages)
        page         = self.request_page
        try:
            all_videos = paginator.page(page)
        except PageNotAnInteger:
            all_videos = paginator.page(1)
        except EmptyPage:
            all_videos = paginator.page(paginator.numb_pages)

        index         = all_videos.number - 1
        limit         = 5 #limit for show range left and right of number pages
        max_index     = len(paginator.page_range)
        start_index = index - limit if index >= limit else 0
        end_index     = index + limit if index <= max_index - limit else max_index
        page_range     = paginator.page_range[start_index:end_index]
        return page_range

Some Explanations:

1. param: self.queryset this for parameter input with queryset method, egg: models.Video.objects.published()
2. param: self.numb_pages this for number of pagination, egg: int 6 is number per page or from param: paginate_by in generic.ListView.
3. param: self.request_page this for request method with parameter as you want, egg: self.request.GET.get('page')

For Example Implementation of it:

class Video_Index_Views(generic.ListView):
    queryset = models.Video.objects.published().order_by('-created').order_by('-id')
    template_name = 'home_video.html'
    paginate_by = 10

    def get_context_data(self, **kwargs):
        context_data = super(Video_Index_Views, self).get_context_data(**kwargs)
        context_data['page_range'] = Custom_Pagination(self.queryset, self.paginate_by, self.request.GET.get('page')).pagination()
        return context_data

In Your templates..

{% block pagination %}
    {% if is_paginated %}

        Page {{ page_obj.number }} of {{ page_obj.paginator.num_pages }}.



         «

       First
      {% for linkpage in page_range %}
          {% ifequal linkpage page_obj.number %}

               {{ page_obj.number }}(current)

          {% else %}
             {{ linkpage }}
          {% endifequal %}
      {% endfor %}
      Last

         »


    {% endif %}
{% endblock %}

Hope it usefull..
