How to change pager class to view

Question

I have HTML desing of pagger ,How to I assign my own class to pager in side view ?I dont have any idea about it so will you plese tell how can I ?

Answer 1

I believe there are two ways you can do it:-

1. In template.php , you can use theme_pager. Then overrite it.

2. You can make a views template and overrite it. For this just goto advance option in views and search for template suggestion.

Answer 2

I could not find a way to add a class to theme_pager() using the hook_preprocess_HOOK system, so here is a slightly different template.php solution that won't involve having to override a core function.

I noticed that views pagers are also run through theme_item_list() which does allow you to add classes.

function MYTHEME_preprocess_item_list(&$vars) {
  $vars['attributes']['class'][] = 'my-class';
}

You can/should add an if condition check to see that the list really is going to be a pager, e.g. use if ($vars['attributes']['class'][0] == 'pager') or some other identifier to confirm that you're adding the class to a pager ul.
