Nice pagination on grabaperch blog - how did you do that?

The pagination is nice at the bottom of https://grabaperch.com/blog how did you get it to display like that? Can you show us the template?

We're just using page-links.

perch_blog_custom(array(
    'count'      => 10,
    'template'   => 'post_in_list.html',
    'sort'       => 'postDateTime',
    'sort-order' => 'DESC',
    'paginate'   => true,
    'page-links' => true,
));

In post_in_list.html we include a standard set of pagination:

<perch:after>
<perch:template path="pagination/default.html" rescope="parent" />
</perch:after>

which looks like this:

<perch:if exists="paging">
  <ul class="pager cf">
    <perch:if exists="not_first_page">
      <li class="prev"><a href="<perch:content id="prev_url" type="hidden" encode="false" />">Previous</a></li>
    </perch:if>
    <perch:content id="page_links" encode="false" />
    <perch:if exists="not_last_page">
      <li class="next"><a href="<perch:content id="next_url" type="hidden" encode="false" />">Next</a></li>
    </perch:if>
  </ul>
</perch:if>

All very standard.

Thanks, I'm trying to get page links into search results, but using your code above in the search results page I'm only seeing the 'Previous' and 'Next' buttons. I'm not seeing the Page links in-between.

Do you have a page-links.html template in templates/pagination ?

Yes, the standard :

<perch:before><ul></perch:before>
<li<perch:if exists="selected"> class="active"</perch:if>>
    <perch:if exists="spacer">
        <perch:pages id="page_number" />
    <perch:else />
        <a href="<perch:pages id="url" />"><perch:pages id="page_number" /></a>
    </perch:if>
</li>
<perch:after></ul></perch:after>

Ok, that should be enough.
