That's it! You have now paginated ``object_list`` and given users of the site a way to navigate between the different pages--all without touching your views. + +Custom pagination templates +--------------------------- + +In order to override the default pagination template, declare a context variable +named ``pagination_template`` set to the template name:: + + {% with 'pagination/blog/post.html' as pagination_template %} + {% autopaginate posts pagesize %} + {% paginate %} + {% endwith %} + +The default pagination template is contained in the ``pagination/default.html`` +file inside the distribution. + +A Note About Uploads +-------------------- + +It is important, when using django-pagination in conjunction with file uploads, +to be aware of when ``request.page`` is accessed. As soon as ``request.page`` +is accessed, ``request.upload_handlers`` is frozen and cannot be altered in any +way. It's a good idea to access the ``page`` attribute on the request object +as late as possible in your views. + + +Optional Settings +------------------ + +In django-pagination, there are no required settings. There are, however, a +small set of optional settings useful for changing the default behavior of the +pagination tags. Here's an overview: + +``PAGINATION_DEFAULT_PAGINATION`` + The default amount of items to show on a page if no number is specified. + +``PAGINATION_DEFAULT_WINDOW`` + The number of items to the left and to the right of the current page to + display (accounting for ellipses). + +``PAGINATION_DEFAULT_ORPHANS`` + The number of orphans allowed. According to the Django documentation, + orphans are defined as:: + + The minimum number of items allowed on the last page, defaults to zero. + +``PAGINATION_INVALID_PAGE_RAISES_404`` + Determines whether an invalid page raises an ``Http404`` or just sets the + ``invalid_page`` context variable. ``True`` does the former and ``False`` + does the latter. + +``DISPLAY_PAGE_LINKS`` + If set to ``False``, links for single pages will not be displayed. + +``PREVIOUS_LINK_DECORATOR`` + An HTML prefix for the previous page link; the default value is ``‹‹ ``. + +``NEXT_LINK_DECORATOR`` + An HTML postfix for the next page link; the default value is `` ››``. + +``DISPLAY_DISABLED_PREVIOUS_LINK`` + If set to ``False``, the previous page link will not be displayed if there's + no previous page. + +``DISPLAY_DISABLED_NEXT_LINK`` + If set to ``False``, the next page link will not be displayed if there's no + next page.
