I suggest to leave the custom paginator out of it when asking questions - it doesn't appear to be related to the actual issue itself. Maybe you should first try to make it work with the standard paginator - you can always switch them out later on.

Don't forget the mailing list either - you're often going to be more successful there then on IRC.

I'll try the IRC channel again but thanks again for the help anyway.

In any case, this is pretty much unrelated to the paginator, so I would suggest you take this to django-users or the IRC channel.

One note: All the "request.GET.has_key" stuff seems highly unnecessary. The following should suffice:

paginator = DiggPaginator(menu_list, 6, page=request.GET.get('page', 1))

This will create a paginator object with the current page set to whatever is in the "page" parameter, and it'll default to the first page if the parameter is missing.

I've been trying to write a custom view to incorporate your pagination code in whilst using a wrapper to use the generic view slug handling.

This is my views.py: http://dpaste.com/hold/47175/

I've looked at many examples of how to create a wrapper, I just have no idea of how I could combine your custom pagination with a wrapper for the generic slug handling for urls?

urls.py: http://dpaste.com/hold/47171/

Obviously the #'d line is what I would use for a generic view, I was trying to recreate the same using a custom view.

Many thanks again,
Duncan

 {% if paginator.is_paginated %}
    <div class="pagination">
        {% if paginator.has_previous %}<a title="Previous Page" href="?page={{paginator.previous}}">&laquo;</a>{% endif %}
        {% for page in paginator.page_range %}
            {% if not page %}
                ...
            {% else %}
                {% ifequal page paginator.page %}<strong class="current">{{ page }}</strong>

                {% else %}<a title="Page {{ page }}" href="?page={{ page }}" rel="nofollow">{{ page }}</a>{% endifequal %}
            {% endif %}
        {% endfor %}
        {% if paginator.has_next %}<a title="Next Page" href="?page={{paginator.next}}" >&raquo;</a>{% endif %}
        &nbsp;Page {{ paginator.page }} of {{ paginator.pages }}
    </div>
    {% endif %}

And the CSS:

.pagination a, .pagination .current {
    padding: 2px 5px;
    border: 1px solid;
}

.pagination .current {
    background-color: white;
    color: black;
}

the LAST thing I PROMISE =)

Has a neat little section on "how to get the links" working in the template and stylised too to make them look like from Digg or wherever. Any chance you could add a similar one that would work with your awesome paginator to really make this fool (read Duncan) proof.
