Too many pages at Pagination in browsepage

[capricornio]

My customer has a 180 products in one category.
Default view is 3 products in a row and 3 rows on a single page (thus default limit is 9 products).
Now my pagination on the top of the page shows pagenrs 1 to 20, which does not fit in my template layout (already hide the start, prev, next, end buttons).

Is there a way to adjust the pagenumbers to display only 6 pagenumbers instead of all (where pagenrs depend on the page you are in), or otherwise should it be possible to adjust the product results box dynamically based on the number of products found ?

hmm...

I think that vm already changes it every "10" pages .... and i think also that virtuemart uses joomla pagination, works like this:

Start Prev 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 32 32 Next Last

So you could edit the original joomla pagination.php file and make a small hack. The file is located under  libraries\joomla\html\pagination.php, around line 107 you will find:

Code Select Expand

// Set the pagination iteration loop values.
$displayedPages = 10;


Changed the "10" to the prefered one ... like 5

Thnx, did the trick almost.
I've used 5 as displayed pages and set the limitbox to 3, which shows indeed max 5 pagenrs, but after going from page 3 to 4 it shows me pagenrs like 1.5, 2.5, 3.5, 4.5 and 5.5

Okay found it.

Replaced

Code Select Expand

// Set the pagination iteration loop values.
$displayedPages = 10;
$this->set('pages.start', $this->get('pages.current') - ($displayedPages / 2));

With

Code Select Expand

// Set the pagination iteration loop values.
$displayedPages = 5;
$this->set('pages.start', $this->get('pages.current') - ceil(($displayedPages / 2)));

Hi,

Nice, you round them ... i don't have issues like that, strange.
ohh, it needs even numbers that can be divided by 2 ... like 4, 6, 8, 10, 20, ... etc

That works perfect! THX
