-How to use django-pagination
-----------------------------
-
-``django-pagination`` allows for easy Digg-style pagination without modifying
-your views.
-
-There are really 5 steps to setting it up with your projects (not including
-installation, which is covered in INSTALL.txt in this same directory.)
-
-1. List this application in the ``INSTALLED_APPS`` portion of your settings
- file. Your settings file might look something like::
-
- INSTALLED_APPS = (
- # ...
- 'pagination',
- )
-
-
-2. Install the pagination middleware. Your settings file might look something
- like::
-
- MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = (
- # ...
- 'pagination.middleware.PaginationMiddleware',
- )
-
-3. If it's not already added in your setup, add the request context processor.
- Note that context processors are set by default implicitly, so to set them
- explicitly, you need to copy and paste this code into your under
- the value TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS::
-
- ("django.core.context_processors.auth",
- "django.core.context_processors.debug",
- "django.core.context_processors.i18n",
- "django.core.context_processors.media",
- "django.core.context_processors.request")
-
-4. Add this line at the top of your template to load the pagination tags:
-
- {% load pagination_tags %}
-
-
-5. Decide on a variable that you would like to paginate, and use the
- autopaginate tag on that variable before iterating over it. This could
- take one of two forms (using the canonical ``object_list`` as an example
- variable):
-
- {% autopaginate object_list %}
-
- This assumes that you would like to have the default 20 results per page.
- If you would like to specify your own amount of results per page, you can
- specify that like so:
-
- {% autopaginate object_list 10 %}
-
- Note that this replaces ``object_list`` with the list for the current page, so
- you can iterate over the ``object_list`` like you normally would.
-
-
-6. Now you want to display the current page and the available pages, so
- somewhere after having used autopaginate, use the paginate inclusion tag:
-
- {% paginate %}
-
- This does not take any arguments, but does assume that you have already
- called autopaginate, so make sure to do so first.
-
-
-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.
