I am creating a page with teaser of articles using views... In the Full pager, the default functionality is....

1 2 3 4 ... next >

when i click next now the next number gets highlightd like...

< prev ... 1 2 3 4 ... next >

and now when i again click next...

< prev ... 2 3 4 5 ... next >

the number set gets altered...

But what i actually need is...

1 2 3 4 next >

< prev 1 2 3 4 next >

< prev 1 2 3 4 next >

< prev 1 2 3 4 next >

and now when i click next...

< prev 5 6 7 8 next >

There are some modules like PAGERER to change the appearance of the core pager... But is there any to make this functionality or should I do some custom work...

  • Personally I think what you want is bad, from the UX point of view. And it is not any of the common pager types. So you probably will need to do your custom work. But for the sake of your users, I hope you will not.

You should be able to do this by implementing function [THEMENAME]_pager($variables) inside your theme. Default implementation is shown and described in function theme_pager() documentation.

I worked on it and found a result... actually Drupal core pager is user friendly enough but in case you need to alter it's functionality you need to edit variables in theme_pager() in your theme's template file.

To obtain the above functionality I altered some variables which are as follows...

$pager_first = (floor($pager_current / $quantity) * $quantity) + 1;

$pager_last = $pager_first + $quantity - 1;


if( $pager_current % $quantity == 0){
  $pager_first = $pager_current - $quantity +1;
  $pager_last = $pager_first + $quantity - 1;
}

I neglected $page_middle variable since I did not needed it...

Warning: Do this when its absolutely necessary...
