FAQ
- How can I style paginatios?
-
You may use the css either from style.css or just copy the custom css from installation tab and paste it into your themes style.css and then edit as you wish.
- How can I override the default pagination settings?
-
The
df_pagination()
function takes one optional argument, in query string format, which allows you to override the global settings. The available options are:- title – The text/HTML to display before the pagination links
- nextpage – The text/HTML to use for the next page link
- previouspage – The text/HTML to use for the previous page link
- before – The text/HTML to add before the pagination links
- after – The text/HTML to add after the pagination links
- empty – Display before markup and after markup code even when the page list is empty
- range – The number of page links to show before and after the current page
- anchor – The number of links to always show at beginning and end of pagination
- gap – The minimum number of pages before a gap is replaced with an ellipsis (…)
You can even control the current page and number of pages with:
- page – The current page. This function will automatically determine the value
- pages – The total number of pages. This function will automatically determine the value
Example :
<?php if(function_exists('df_pagination')) { df_pagination('range=4&anchor=2&nextpage=Next&previouspage=Previous'); } ?>
