Cakephp custom pagination code

Question

i wan't to create a custom pagination in cakePHP .

I am using function $paginator->numbers() ; it displays the page numbers like this :

1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | ...

but i want first and last buttons and two arrows for next and previous except these numbers 1, 2,3 ,4. For eg: first < > last

Answer 1

just configure paginator with these options :-

echo $paginator->prev(' previous ', null, null, null);
echo $paginator->next(' next ', null, null, null);

For more option please refer to : Pagination in cakephp

Answer 2

You can customize the pagination output using the helper itself. There are custom methods available to generate links for first, last, next and previous page.

For example, to generate previous page link,

echo $this->Paginator->prev(
  ' << ',
  array(),
  null,
  array('class' => 'prev disabled')
);

For details, see the doc here: http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/core-libraries/helpers/paginator.html

Answer 3

You can use pagination prev() & next() functions:

echo $this->Paginator->first('First Page');
echo $this->Paginator->prev('<');
echo $this->Paginator->next('>');
echo $this->Paginator->last('Last Page');
