Customizing Pagination Output

[srinivas6203]

My question is: I have the Pagination working beautifully, my only complaint is that in the future when there are a lot of submissions, it will display as

 

[First] [Prev] 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 [Next] [Last]

 

Which is ok, but I would much rather it show up like Google results, by which I mean only lists a few pages in front of the current page. Like so

 

[First] [Prev] 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 [Next] [Last]

 

and if you are on page 4

 

[First] [Prev] 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 [Next] [Last]

 

Unfortunatly for me, I have an idea how I could get this to work, but have not been able to get it right.

 

How would this be done?

 

Here is the code I have right now:

 

if ($pageNum > 1)

{

$page = $pageNum - 1;

$prev = " <a href=\"$self?page=$page\"><img src='Images/Prev.jpg' border='0' /></a> ";

 

$first = " <a href=\"$self?page=1\"><img src='Images/First.jpg' border='0' /></a> ";

}

else

{

$prev = ' '; // we're on page one, don't print previous link

$first = ' '; // nor the first page link

}

 

if ($pageNum < $maxPage)

{

$page = $pageNum + 1;

$next = " <a href=\"$self?page=$page\"><img src='Images/Next.jpg' border='0' /></a> ";

 

$last = " <a href=\"$self?page=$maxPage\"><img src='Images/Last.jpg' border='0' /></a> ";

}

else

{

$next = ' '; // we're on the last page, don't print next link

$last = ' '; // nor the last page link

}

 

// print the navigation link

echo "<table width='500' border='0' cellspacing='0' cellpadding='0'><tr><td width='100' height='50'>" . $first . "</td><td width='75' height='50'>" . $prev . "</td><td width='150' height='50'>" . $nav . "</td><td width='75' height='50'>" . $next . "</td><td width='100' height='50'>" . $last . "</td></tr></table><br>";

}

}

Try this:

 

<?php
if ($pageNum > 1)
{
$page = $pageNum - 1;
$prev = " <a href=\"$self?page=$page\"><img src='Images/Prev.jpg' border='0' />[/url] ";

$first = " <a href=\"$self?page=1\"><img src='Images/First.jpg' border='0' />[/url] ";
}
else
{
$prev = ' '; // we're on page one, don't print previous link
$first = ' '; // nor the first page link
}

if ($pageNum < $pageNum+9)
{
$page = $pageNum + 1;
$next = " <a href=\"$self?page=$page\"><img src='Images/Next.jpg' border='0' />[/url] ";

$last = " <a href=\"$self?page=$maxPage\"><img src='Images/Last.jpg' border='0' />[/url] ";
}
else
{
$next = ' '; // we're on the last page, don't print next link
$last = ' '; // nor the last page link
}

// print the navigation link
echo "<table width='500' border='0' cellspacing='0' cellpadding='0'><tr><td width='100' height='50'>" . $first . "</td><td width='75' height='50'>" . $prev . "</td><td width='150' height='50'>" . $nav . "</td><td width='75' height='50'>" . $next . "</td><td width='100' height='50'>" . $last . "</td></tr></table>
";
}
}
?>

not tested , but something like this...

$intPagesShown = 10;

if ($pageNum > 1)
{
$page = $pageNum - 1;
$prev = " <a href=\"$self?page=$page\"><img src='Images/Prev.jpg' border='0' />[/url] ";
$firstnum = $pageNum -  $intPagesShown /2;
if($firstnum < 1) $firstnum = 1;
$first = " <a href=\"$self?page=".$firstnum."\"><img src='Images/First.jpg' border='0' />[/url] ";
}
else
{
$firstnum = 1;
$prev = ' '; // we're on page one, don't print previous link
$first = ' '; // nor the first page link
}

if ($pageNum < $maxPage)
{
$page = $pageNum + 1;
$next = " <a href=\"$self?page=$page\"><img src='Images/Next.jpg' border='0' />[/url] ";
$lastnum = $firstnum + $intPagesShown - 1;
if($lastnum > $maxPage) $lastnum = $maxPage;
$last = " <a href=\"$self?page=$lastnum\"><img src='Images/Last.jpg' border='0' />[/url] ";
}
else
{
$next = ' '; // we're on the last page, don't print next link
$last = ' '; // nor the last page link
}

// print the navigation link
echo "<table width='500' border='0' cellspacing='0' cellpadding='0'><tr><td width='100' height='50'>" . $first . "</td><td width='75' height='50'>" . $prev . "</td><td width='150' height='50'>" . $nav . "</td><td width='75' height='50'>" . $next . "</td><td width='100' height='50'>" . $last . "</td></tr></table>
";
}
