Django pagination and “current page”

Question

I\'m currently developing a Django application which will make use of the infamous \"pagination\" technique. I\'m trying to figure out how the django.core.paginator module work

Answer 1

Django, at least from version 1.2, allows us to complete this task by using pure default pagination template tags.

{% for page in article_list.paginator.page_range %}
  {% if page == article_list.number %}
    {{ page }}
  {% else %}
    {{ page }}
  {% endif %}
{% endfor %}

Where article_list is instance of

paginator = Paginator(article_list, 20)
    try:
        article_list = paginator.page(int(page))
    except (EmptyPage, InvalidPage):
        article_list = paginator.page(paginator.num_pages)
