Theming Drupal’s Pager
There are times that you would like to edit how the pagination of Drupal is displayed. To give you more control aside from editing the stylesheet, let’s use the theme_pager() function in our template.php file.
In your theme’s template.php Insert the following code:
function phptemplate_pager($tags = array(), $limit = 10, $element = 0, $parameters = array(), $quantity = 9) {
global $pager_page_array, $pager_total;
// Calculate various markers within this pager piece:
// Middle is used to "center" pages around the current page.
$pager_middle = ceil($quantity / 2);
// current is the page we are currently paged to
$pager_current = $pager_page_array[$element] + 1;
// first is the first page listed by this pager piece (re quantity)
$pager_first = $pager_current - $pager_middle + 1;
// last is the last page listed by this pager piece (re quantity)
$pager_last = $pager_current + $quantity - $pager_middle;
// max is the maximum page number
$pager_max = $pager_total[$element];
// End of marker calculations.
// Prepare for generation loop.
$i = $pager_first;
if ($pager_last > $pager_max) {
// Adjust “center” if at end of query.
$i = $i + ($pager_max - $pager_last);
$pager_last = $pager_max;
}
if ($i <= 0) {
// Adjust “center” if at start of query.
$pager_last = $pager_last + (1 - $i);
$i = 1;
}
// End of generation loop preparation.
$li_first = theme(’pager_first’, (isset($tags[0]) ? $tags[0] : t(’< first’)), $limit, $element, $parameters);
$li_previous = theme(’pager_previous’, (isset($tags[1]) ? $tags[1] : t(’<’)), $limit, $element, 1, $parameters);
$li_next = theme(’pager_next’, (isset($tags[3]) ? $tags[3] : t(’>’)), $limit, $element, 1, $parameters);
$li_last = theme(’pager_last’, (isset($tags[4]) ? $tags[4] : t(’last >’)), $limit, $element, $parameters);
if ($pager_total[$element] > 1) {
if ($li_first) {
$items[] = array(
‘class’ => ‘pager-first’,
‘data’ => $li_first,
);
}
if ($li_previous) {
$items[] = array(
‘class’ => ‘pager-previous’,
‘data’ => $li_previous,
);
}
// When there is more than one page, create the pager list.
if ($i != $pager_max) {
if ($i > 1) {
$items[] = array(
‘class’ => ‘pager-ellipsis’,
‘data’ => ‘…’,
);
}
// Now generate the actual pager piece.
for (; $i <= $pager_last && $i <= $pager_max; $i++) {
if ($i < $pager_current) {
$items[] = array(
‘class’ => ‘pager-item’,
‘data’ => theme(’pager_previous’, $i, $limit, $element, ($pager_current - $i), $parameters),
);
}
if ($i == $pager_current) {
$items[] = array(
‘class’ => ‘pager-current’,
‘data’ => $i,
);
}
if ($i > $pager_current) {
$items[] = array(
‘class’ => ‘pager-item’,
‘data’ => theme(’pager_next’, $i, $limit, $element, ($i - $pager_current), $parameters),
);
}
}
if ($i < $pager_max) {
$items[] = array(
‘class’ => ‘pager-ellipsis’,
‘data’ => ‘…’,
);
}
}
// End generation.
if ($li_next) {
$items[] = array(
‘class’ => ‘pager-next’,
‘data’ => $li_next,
);
}
if ($li_last) {
$items[] = array(
‘class’ => ‘pager-last’,
‘data’ => $li_last,
);
}
return theme(’item_list’, $items, NULL, ‘ul’, array(’class’ => ‘pager’));
}
}
Here’s how the pagination looks like using the above function.
