How to limit number of shown boxes in pagination?

[Henrik Holm Nielsen]

Hi,

Using J3.6.2 with VM 3.0.16 and 3.0.17.4 - how do I limit the number of shown boxes to click in the pagination?
In attached screenshot, I have the boxes "Start", "Prev" and then numbers 1 to 10, before "Next", "End".

This means the pagination is wider than most smartphones, in portrait mode.

So if I would like to just have "Start", "Prev" and then numbers 1-4 before "Next", "End" - how do I accomplish this?

I've been fiddlling with the "Pagination sequnece" in Configuration -> Templates, but this does not seem to cover what I would like to do.

Any ideas besides using css to either scale or style the content very small?

Cheers

You need to modify pagination.php file in your template's html directory.

Ghost,

I'm sorry - but can you clarify a little bit?

I have no pagination.php in my entire VM install, as far as I can see?
I do have a vmpagination.php located in /administrator/components/com_virtuemart/helpers - but im assuming I can't override this?

Also assuming the Joomla core/template pagination.php is not being picked up by Virtuemart?

Or have I misunderstood?

VM uses Joomla pagination which can be overridden by your template. Check if there's pagination override in /templates/your_template/html/. If it doesn't exist, create it. Then modify it to your liking.

Here's an example how to have just previous/next buttons (Step #4) https://www.ostraining.com/blog/joomla/page-break-viral/.

Fantastic - I did not know VM now used Joomla pagination!

Thanx for this and for the link - I'll dive into this asap!

Cheers mate!
