Just forgot to mention. I’d would like to see option in paginator to return numbers in reversed order. Like google older/newer paginator, but with reversed numbers:

Of course paginator code can be hacked, but it’s better to have an option.

@Simon, Eric:

All the styles on this page coincidentaly have the same class names as django-pagination:

Handy!

Sorry, the context sucked. I was quoting Brian on that one

Also, I agree with Justin: calling Brian out was really bad form.

@Simon

Even though right now django-pagination only has one kind of pagination, the original goal of that project was to be exactly what you said. If you have any code sitting around, I’d love to include it into django-pagination.

I think calling Brian out is unnecessary. The post would have had the same value if you either left out Brian’s name or excluded the not-so-smart jab.

@Simon

It’s really a great idea to provide common styles of pagination. Hope to see them in the trunk soon.

Populating the context is only half of the problem though – the really fiddly bit is the template code, HTML and CSS to support it.

I’d love to see Django ship with half a dozen or so pre-configured templates for common styles of pagination (Flickr style, Digg style etc) along with well commented, easily customised CSS to style them. I reckon that could cover 95% of people’s needs, and make it trivial for the remaining 5% to get exactly what they want.
