RFC: default pagination bar

etc · 2023-12-07 13:47:37

I’m trying to simplify the default behaviour of <txp:pages /> tag, aimed to construct pagination bars. It is highly customizable, but rather verbose. So

what should be the “default” navigation bar structure if the number of pages is very large (first/last, prev/next, gaps, …)?
which attributes would help to construct such a bar?
whatever else?

Thanks.

Yeah. Currently, it’s a bit complex. What do you propose? Invoke certain attributes like break and breakby? Sure, for a large navigation bar, indicators (first/last, prev/next) are necessary. (I noticed you recently introduce offset as URLs parameters)

I have asked first :-) Suppose that you would like to construct a bar with first/prev/.../main/.../next/last links in one go:

<txp:pages with some attributes />

What would be the attributes and the expected result?

first and last are expected (but facultative). Then, next and prev too (but needed). Seems we need a class attribute for the current (active) page.

Yep, whence my questions. What would be a minimal html markup allowing users to style the bar? We can set rel for next/prev links, but rel="first/last/current" is deprecated. Could we set data-rel instead of class, for example?
