Bootstrap pagination with CakePHP pagination helpe

Question

I'm trying to get CakePHP's pagination helper to play nicely with bootstrap. That is, I want my pagination elements to look like bootstrap's but generated by CakePHP.

At the moment I've got this on my view page:

<?php
echo $this->Paginator->numbers(array(
    'before' => '<div class="pagination"><ul>',
    'separator' => '',
    'currentClass' => 'active',
    'tag' => 'li',
    'after' => '</ul></div>'
));
?>

Which produces the following markup:

<div class="pagination">
    <ul>
        <li class="active">1</li>
        <li><a href="/test/posts/page:2">2</a></li>
        <li><a href="/test/posts/page:3">3</a></li>
    </ul>
</div>

The problem is, because the active page (1 in this case) doesn't have an <a> element in the <li> tag, it's not displaying correctly on the page (see here: http://i.imgur.com/OczPh.png).

I can't seem to find anything on the Cookbook that mentions anything that would fix this.

Can this even be fixed?

Answer 1

Try this if you are using Twitter Bootstrap 3.0 and CakePHP 2.0 or 2.1:

css (somewhere in your css, not in the bootstrap css!)

ul.pagination li.active {
    position: relative;
    float: left;
    padding: 6px 12px;
    margin-left: -1px;
    line-height: 1.428571429;
    text-decoration: none;
    background-color: #fff; 
    border: 1px solid #ddd;
}

CakePHP View (where you want to display the pagination bar)

<ul class="pagination">
    <?php
        echo ($this->Paginator->hasPrev()) ? $this->Paginator->prev('«', array('tag' => 'li'), null, null) : '<li class="disabled"><a href="#">«</a></li>';
        echo $this->Paginator->numbers(array('separator' => false, 'tag' => 'li'));   
        echo ($this->Paginator->hasNext()) ? $this->Paginator->next('»', array('tag' => 'li'), null, null) : '<li class="disabled"><a href="#">»</a></li>';
    ?>
</ul>

Answer 2

you can achieve this without any css to add :

<?php
echo $this->Paginator->numbers(array(
        'before' => '<ul class="pagination">',
        'separator' => '',
       'currentClass' => 'active',
        'currentTag' => 'a',
        'tag' => 'li',
        'after' => '</ul>'
    ));
?>

So many answers, but non handle ellipsis. Below you can find full version, no custom CSS needed.

CakePHP v2, Bootstrap v3

<ul class="pagination">
    <li><?php echo $this->Paginator->prev('Previous', array('escape' => false, 'tag' => 'li'), null, array('escape' => false, 'tag' => 'li', 'class' => 'disabled', 'disabledTag' => 'a')); ?></li>
    <li><?php echo $this->Paginator->numbers(array('separator' => '', 'currentTag' => 'a', 'currentClass' => 'active', 'tag' => 'li', 'first' => 1, 'ellipsis' => '<li class="disabled"><a>...</a></li>')); ?></li>
    <li><?php echo $this->Paginator->next('Next', array('escape' => false, 'tag' => 'li', 'currentClass' => 'disabled'), null, array('escape' => false, 'tag' => 'li', 'class' => 'disabled', 'disabledTag' => 'a')); ?></li>
</ul>

The resulting code:

<link href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet"/>
<ul class="pagination">
	<li class="prev">
		<a href="/users/page:8" rel="prev">Previous</a>
	</li>
	<li>
		<a href="/users">1</a>
	</li>
	<li class="disabled">
		<a>...</a>
	</li>
	<li>
		<a href="/users/page:5">5</a>
	</li>
	<!-- more numbers here... -->
	<li class="active">
		<a>9</a>
	</li>
	<!-- more numbers here... -->
	<li class="next">
		<a href="/users/page:10" currentclass="disabled" rel="next">Next</a>
	</li>
</ul>

All you really need to do is add a CSS class for the current and disabled items to match. Here's one I use for my project (it's basically copied and pasted from the bootstrap CSS file).

.pagination .current,
.pagination .disabled {
    float: left;
    padding: 0 14px;

    color: #999;
    cursor: default;
    line-height: 34px;
    text-decoration: none;

    border: 1px solid #DDD;
    border-left-width: 0;
}

This gives it the same style as the a tags.

<ul class="pagination">
<?php
  echo $this->Paginator->prev('&laquo;', array('tag' => 'li', 'escape' => false), '<a href="#">&laquo;</a>', array('class' => 'prev disabled', 'tag' => 'li', 'escape' => false));
  echo $this->Paginator->numbers(array('separator' => '', 'tag' => 'li', 'currentLink' => true, 'currentClass' => 'active', 'currentTag' => 'a'));
  echo $this->Paginator->next('&raquo;', array('tag' => 'li', 'escape' => false), '<a href="#">&raquo;</a>', array('class' => 'prev disabled', 'tag' => 'li', 'escape' => false));
?>
</ul>

    if ($this->Paginator->hasPage(null, 2)) { 
    echo '<tfoot>';
    echo '<tr>';
    echo '<td colspan="7" class="text-right">';
    echo '  <ul class="pagination pagination-right">';
    echo $this->Paginator->first('<span class="glyphicon glyphicon-fast-backward"></span> First', array('escape' => false, 'tag' => 'li'), null, array('escape' => false, 'tag' => 'li', 'class' => 'disabled', 'disabledTag' => 'a'));
    echo $this->Paginator->prev('<span class="glyphicon glyphicon-step-backward"></span> Prev', array('escape' => false, 'tag' => 'li'), null, array('escape' => false, 'tag' => 'li', 'class' => 'disabled', 'disabledTag' => 'a'));
    echo $this->Paginator->numbers(array(
        'currentClass' => 'active',
        'currentTag' => 'a',
        'tag' => 'li',
        'separator' => '',
    ));
    echo $this->Paginator->next('Next <span class="glyphicon glyphicon-step-forward"></span>', array('escape' => false, 'tag' => 'li', 'currentClass' => 'disabled'), null, array('escape' => false, 'tag' => 'li', 'class' => 'disabled', 'disabledTag' => 'a'));
    echo $this->Paginator->last('Last <span class="glyphicon glyphicon-fast-forward"></span>', array('escape' => false, 'tag' => 'li', 'currentClass' => 'disabled'), null, array('escape' => false, 'tag' => 'li', 'class' => 'disabled', 'disabledTag' => 'a'));

    echo '  </ul>';
    echo '<p>'.$this->Paginator->counter(array('format' => 'Page {:page} of {:pages}, showing {:current} records out of {:count} total.')).'</p>';
    echo '</td>';
    echo '</tr>';
    echo '</tfoot>';    
}
