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

Inspired by @Pavel1114 and @Inti. Removed the arrow at the beginning and at the end as they are not that useful. Added The first page and last page for faster accessing.

  

      {{paginator.count}} total
  
  {% if data.number|add:'-4' > 1 %}
    
1
    
…
  {% endif %}
  {% for i in data.paginator.page_range %}
    {% if data.number == i %}
        
{{ i }}
    {% elif i > data.number|add:'-3' and i < data.number|add:'3' %}
        
{{ i }}
      {% endif %}
  {% endfor %}
  {% if data.paginator.num_pages > data.number|add:'4' %}
    
…
    
{{ data.paginator.count }}
  {% endif %}
