Re: django pagination

[pa xapy]

you want to paginate both querysets at the same page? 

i believe it's a pretty strange idea and if so, you should think how to refactor it

if you want only paginate posts, i'll recommend you to use django-pagination app of some sort, it's can be used in template

i want to using Paginator in my main page for my post list. i see docs and examples for that but i thing my problem is a specific, because on my view i have two Querys not one.

def index(request):
    return render_to_response("blog/posts_list.html", {
        'categories': Category.objects.all(),
        'posts': Posts.objects.filter(publisheddate__lte=timezone.now()).order_by('-publisheddate')
    })

any idea how to use Paginator on my view ?

[Xristos Xristoou]

can you show me one examples with my view ?

[pa xapy]

if you'll decide to use some app for pagination, you can do it in template, like so https://github.com/ericflo/django-pagination/blob/master/docs/usage.txt ({% autopaginate posts 10 %})
or you can choose one of these https://www.djangopackages.com/grids/g/pagination/
there is no actual need to do it in view

but still, if you want to only paginate posts, I can't see a problem at all

[Xristos Xristoou]

if i use {autopagination} i dont need quyre on my view ?

[pa xapy]

you can read the usage doc i sent linked, but yes - you don't need to do anything with you queryset in view only pass it to template

[Xristos Xristoou]

one more question how to install this ?autopagination ?i dont see anything

[pa xapy]

are you familiar with the pip utility?

if not, i highly recommend to read about it https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/quickstart/

if yes, you should know that you can install any application with pip install package_name

and how set it up with django - it's better if you read in instructions for package you choose

but i'm afraid that this particular app is too old and you can experience some troubles with it

anyways, you can try: pip install django-pagination

[Xristos Xristoou]

thnx you i try to use that now

[Xristos Xristoou]

i follow the simpe steps but i take error invalid syntax (pagination_tags.py, line 225)

[pa xapy]

are you using python 3?

that's actually what i talking about - it's too old

try another one, like this https://github.com/jamespacileo/django-pure-pagination - follow the instructions and i hope you'll be fine

[Xristos Xristoou]

that method is Confusing,i try to understand,i create new view or i work with current?i not understand it the using 'people' and object on they view

[Xristos Xristoou]

i find solutio using https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.9/topics/pagination/ thnX
