Display only some of the page numbers by django pagination

Question

I am using the django paginator in the template. Its working ok, but not good when there\'s large numbers of pages.

views.py:

def blog(request):
             


        

Answer 1

Another shorter solution with template is compare current forloop.counter with certain range.

with bootstrap I use this template

   

{% if page_obj.has_previous %}

  
    «
    begin
  
   {% endif %}

{% for n in page_obj.paginator.page_range %}
  {% if page_obj.number == n %}
    

      {{ n }}(current)
    
  {% elif n > page_obj.number|add:'-3' and n < page_obj.number|add:'3' %}
    
{{ n }}
  {% endif %}
{% endfor %}

{% if page_obj.has_next %}
  

    
      »
      end
    
  
  {% endif %}
