Creating a custom view-only pager override

By colinharrisweb on 15 Jun 2011 at 07:52 UTC

Hello - I have created a override to the theme pager in my default theme template.php file i.e.

mytheme_pager($variables) { ... }

Which works great, but this overrides all pagers.

I have created a view called flickr and have created some template files for it i.e. views-view-fields--flickr.tpl.php, views-view--flickr.tpl.php which again work great.

What function name do I need to use to override just the pager for this view, not every single pager?

I've tried using the theme devel module but it doesn't show anything I recognise as useful. I've also done searches but can't find a match to my problem.

Thanks,
Colin.

$my_view = views_get_view( 'flickr' );
$my_view->pager['items_per_page'] = 0;

View is "flickr"

What's new and changing in PHP 8

Thanks for the reply, I

Thanks for the reply, I didn't quite make myself clear.

What I'm trying to do is to use a custom function for the pager for this view, so I can style it and customise it.

Currently I have:

function mytheme_pager($variables) {
  $tags = $variables['tags'];
  $element = $variables['element'];
  $parameters = $variables['parameters'];
  $quantity = $variables['quantity'];
  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.

  $li_first = theme('pager_first', array('text' => (isset($tags[0]) ? $tags[0] : t('« first')), 'element' => $element, 'parameters' => $parameters));
  $li_previous = theme('pager_previous', array('text' => (isset($tags[1]) ? $tags[1] : theme('image', array('path' => base_path() . path_to_theme().'/images/flickr-prev.png', 'alt' => t('‹ previous')))), 'element' => $element, 'interval' => 1, 'parameters' => $parameters));
  $li_next = theme('pager_next', array('text' => (isset($tags[3]) ? $tags[3] : theme('image', array('path' => base_path() . path_to_theme().'/images/flickr-next.png', 'alt' => t('next ›')))), 'element' => $element, 'interval' => 1, 'parameters' => $parameters));
  $li_last = theme('pager_last', array('text' => (isset($tags[4]) ? $tags[4] : t('last »')), 'element' => $element, 'parameters' => $parameters));
  $li_first = "";
  $li_last = "";

  if ($pager_total[$element] > 1) {
    if ($li_first) {
      $items[] = array(
        'class' => array('pager-first'), 
        'data' => $li_first,
      );
    }
    if ($li_previous) {
      $items[] = array(
        'class' => array('pager-previous','f_left'), 
        'data' => decode_entities($li_previous),
      );
    }

    // When there is more than one page, create the pager list.
    if ($i != $pager_max) {
      if ($i > 1) {
        $items[] = array(
          'class' => array('pager-ellipsis'), 
          'data' => '…',
        );
      }
      // Now generate the actual pager piece.
      for (; $i <= $pager_last && $i <= $pager_max; $i++) {
        if ($i < $pager_current) {
          $items[] = array(
            'class' => array('pager-item'), 
            'data' => theme('image', array('path' => base_path() . path_to_theme().'/images/flickr-off.png', 'alt' => $i)),
          );
        }
        if ($i == $pager_current) {
          $items[] = array(
            'class' => array('pager-current'), 
            'data' => theme('image', array('path' => base_path() . path_to_theme().'/images/flickr-on.png', 'alt' => $i)),
          );
        }
        if ($i > $pager_current) {
          $items[] = array(
            'class' => array('pager-item'), 
            'data' => theme('image', array('path' => base_path() . path_to_theme().'/images/flickr-off.png', 'alt' => $i)),
          );
        }
      }
      if ($i < $pager_max) {
        $items[] = array(
          'class' => array('pager-ellipsis'), 
          'data' => '…',
        );
      }
    }
    // End generation.
    if ($li_next) {
      $items[] = array(
        'class' => array('pager-next','f_right'), 
        'data' => decode_entities($li_next),
      );
    }
    if ($li_last) {
      $items[] = array(
        'class' => array('pager-last'), 
        'data' => $li_last,
      );
    }
    return '<h2 class="element-invisible">' . t('Pages') . '</h2>' . theme('item_list', array(
      'items' => $items, 
      'attributes' => array('class' => array('pager')),
    ));
  }
}

Which styles all pagers. However I'd like it just to style the pager associated with the view 'Flickr'?
