Improving Pagination Feature in Pods 1.x

Today (September 24, 2009) I saw an improvement about Styling the paging feature created by nikos in Pods Discussion Forums. It was an interesting improvement, indeed. Then I applied it on one of my Pods powered websites. I also added the 2 additional links: Previous and Next on the pagination feature, by modifying the pagination_2.php and Pod.class.php file.

Again, please note that this modification only for the classical version; Pods 1.x.

1. Modified your \pods\core\pagination_2.php file become like this:
   <style type="text/css">
   /* Pod Paging
   -------------------------------------------------------------- */
   .podPager {padding:0.8em;overflow:hidden;border-top:1px solid #eee;background:#f6f6f6;color:#666;margin-bottom:0.8em;}
   .pageNum {padding:0 5px;}
   .currentPage {background:#ccc;color:#fff;}
   </style>
   
   <?php
   $page = $this->page;
   $rows_per_page = $this->rpp;
   $total_rows = $this->getTotalRows();
   $total_pages = ceil($total_rows / $rows_per_page);
   $type = $this->datatype;
   
   $request_uri = "?type=$type&";
   foreach ($_GET as $key => $val)
   {
     if ('pg' != $key && 'type' != $key && !empty($val))
     {
      $request_uri .= $key . '=' . urlencode($val) . '&';
     }
   }
   ?>
     <div class="podPager">
   
   <?php
   
     if($total_pages > 1) :
       echo '<span class="pages">'.$label1.' '.$page.' '.$label2.' '.$total_pages.':</span>';
     endif;
   
     if (1 < $page) :
       if($total_pages > 2) :
         $prev = $page - 1;
         echo ' <a href="'.$request_uri.'pg=1" class="prevPage">« '.$label3.' ... </a>';
         echo ' <a href="'.$request_uri.'pg='.$prev.'" class="firstPage">« '.$label6.'</a>';
       else :
         echo ' <a href="'.$request_uri.'pg=1" class="pageNum firstPage">1</a>';
       endif;
     endif;
   
     if (1 < ($page - 100)) :
       echo ' <a href="'.$request_uri.'pg='.($page - 100).'" class="pageNum">'.($page - 100).'</a>';
     endif;
   
     if (1 < ($page - 10)) :
       echo ' <a href="'.$request_uri.'pg='.($page - 10).'" class="pageNum">'.($page - 10).'</a>';
     endif;
   
     for ($i = 4; $i > 0; $i--) :
       if (1 < ($page - $i)) :
         echo ' <a href="'.$request_uri.'pg='.($page - $i).'" class="pageNum">'.($page - $i).'</a>';              
       endif;
     endfor;
   
     ?> <span class="pageNum currentPage"><?php echo $page; ?></span><?php
   
     for ($i = 1; $i < 5; $i++) :
       if ($total_pages > ($page + $i)) :
         echo ' <a href="'.$request_uri.'pg='.($page + $i).'" class="pageNum">'.($page + $i).'</a>';
       endif;
     endfor;
   
     if ($total_pages > ($page + 10)) :       
       echo ' <a href="'.$request_uri.'pg='.($page + 10).'" class="pageNum">'.($page + 10).'</a>';
     endif;
   
     if ($total_pages > ($page + 100)) :
       echo ' <a href="'.$request_uri.'pg='.($page + 100).'" class="pageNum">'.($page + 100).'</a>';
     endif;
   
     if ($page < $total_pages) :
       if($total_pages > 2) :
         $next = $page + 1;
         echo ' <a href="'.$request_uri.'pg='.$next.'" class="nextPage">'.$label5.' »</a>';
         echo ' <a href="'.$request_uri.'pg='.$total_pages.'" class="lastPage"> ... '.$label4.' »</a>';
       else:
         echo ' <a href="'.$request_uri.'pg='.$total_pages.'" class="pageNum">2</a>';
       endif;
     endif;
   
   ?>
   </div>
2. Open your \pods\core\Pods.class.php file, and find this code:
       /*
       ==================================================
       Display the pagination controls
       ==================================================
       */
       function getPagination($label = 'Go to page:')
       {
           if ($this->rpp < $this->getTotalRows())
           {
               include realpath(dirname(__FILE__) . '/pagination.php');
           }
       }
   
       /*

   then replace it with the following code:

       /*
       ==================================================
       Display the pagination controls
       ==================================================
       */
       //function getPagination($label = 'Go to page:')
       function getPagination($label1 = 'Page', $label2 = 'of', $label3 = 'First', $label4 = 'Last', $label5 = 'Next', $label6 = 'Previous')
       {
           if ($this->rpp < $this->getTotalRows())
           {
               include realpath(dirname(__FILE__) . '/pagination_2.php');
           }
       }
   
       /*
3. To display the paging, I added to my template or in my PodPages:
   <?php
     // For example, this is for Indonesian language
     echo $Record->getPagination('Halaman:', 'dari', 'Awal', 'Akhir', 'Maju', 'Mundur');
     // For English (default):
     echo $Record->getPagination();
   ?>

Hopefully you find it useful.
