front-end: getListFooter or getPagesLinks?

[Ruud van Lent]

Hi,

I am struggling with the pagination on a list view.
When setting the pagination with echo $this->pagination->getListFooter();

It displays the pagination info, but on some templates the icons get mixed up, are double / overlapping, etc.
On those templates echo $this->pagination->getPagesLinks(); works better, but this doesn work on some other templates...


What I have done now is give the user the choice from the backend wihich one to use, but this is an 'easy' / 'lazy' fix.

What would be the best (joomla) way to provide the listview with pagination that will work on most templates?

Hi,
If you would like, you can override the layouts of the pagination.

Here you are more information.

I guess, you will have to override joomla layouts in that folder.

layouts/joomla/pagination

Thanks for your reply,
I know you can override (cool feature :)), but I am developing an extension and do not have control over the users website / template / overrides for where he/she installs this extension.
Therefore I am looking on some best practice from a developers point of view on which to use as default in components: getListFooter of getPagesLinks.

1. On most templates

<?php echo $this->pagination->getPagesLinks(); ?><br/>
<?php echo $this->pagination->getResultsCounter(); ?>
<?php echo $this->pagination->getLimitBox(); ?>

will do anything you need.
