Expand page navigation in blogs

[Ralf Hilgenstock]

I've just worked in a blog with more than 70 entries that are presented on 15 pages. Its not easy to navigate in this blog.

The page navigation has 7 elements:
First page | previous page | previous page (as page number) | actual page (as page number) | next page (as number) | next page | last page.

Previous and next page links are doubled. If I like to switch more quickly through the blog pages it makes sense to add more links in the middle like
-3 | -2 | -1 | this page | +1 | +2 |+3

What do you think?

The pager follows the pager that you see elsewhere on Mahara. Richard M once said that the amount of intermediate steps can be adjusted. There is a fancy calculation in place (look at User search in the admin interface) that the steps are adjusted depending on how many users you have so that you can get to further away pages more quickly.

Hello Kristina,

thanks for the information. It looks that the behaviour is different on user search and content blog. I've created two screens.

User search in a system with 72 users and 10 user per page settings. There are more than three numbered page icons from beginning as you describe.

Content blog page shows five entries per page. This is predefined and as far as I know its not possible to change this settings. This pager shows all the time only three numbered page icons.
