I have a datatable in my django app using django_tables2 and have added bootstrap pagination to it for obvious reasons using this answer. I copied the tables.html file into my templates directory and modified it as follows:
{% if table.page %}
{% with table.page.paginator.count as total %}
{% with table.page.object_list|length as count %}
{% block pagination %}
<ul class="pagination">
{% block pagination.cardinality %}
<li class="cardinality">
{% if total != count %}{% blocktrans %}Showing {{ count }} of {{ total }}
{% endblocktrans %}{% else %}{{ total }}{% endif %}
{% if total == 1 %}{{ table.data.verbose_name }}{% else %}
{{ table.data.verbose_name_plural }}{% endif %}
</li>
{% endblock pagination.cardinality %}
</ul>
<div class="pull-right">
<nav>
<ul class="pagination">
{% block pagination.allpages %}
{% if table.page.has_previous %}
<li><a href="{% querystring table.prefixed_page_field=table.page.previous_page_number %}">Previous</a></li>
{% endif %}
{% for p in table.paginator.page_range %}
<li><a href="{% querystring table.prefixed_page_field=p %}">{{ p }}</a></li>
{% endfor %}
{% if table.has_next %}
<li><a href="{% querystring table.prefixed_page_field=table.page.next_page_number %}">Next</a></li>
{% endif %}
{% endblock pagination.allpages %}
</ul>
</nav>
</div>
</div>
{% endblock pagination %}
{% endwith %}
{% endwith %}
{% endif %}
As of now the table has very little data so I just have 2 pages. However I populated the table with random data and was able to get 10 'pages' on the table.
However this is not desirable as what if I have a 1000 entries with 10 per page, I cant have the page navigator show 100 as it would clutter up my content area. How can I go somehow limit the number of pages shown i.e. instead of 1 - 10 show up in the image above if would be something like 1|2|3|4|5|.. where clicking on the ... would show pages 6|7|8|9|10|... I tried adding previous and next buttons but not sure why they're failing.
