Hi,
I was searching for a solution to use ICONS or a possibility to use text and different titletext (mouseover) for the sidenavigation for the products in the category view. I didn´t find a solution but saw many people seeking for a solution. So I want to share my solution with you. I added 4 new languagetexts in the language override (see below) and changed the pagination.php.

VM uses the pagenavigation from joomla (pagination.php). I created an override from this file. As you can´t copy the whole pagination file 1:1, because of the defined classes, protected functions aso, find below the pagination.php file for your folder ->templates/YOURTEMPLATE/html/pagination.php and add the following strings to you language override .ini file. In this example the Icons are in the vmgeneral folder. Instead of images tags you can of course use usual text, like "<<" "<" ans so on. Design your CSS as you like.

I hope this is useful for some of you. Bye.
