Question

• Python 2.6.2
  • django-pagination 1.0.5

Question: How to force pagination work correctly? The problem is that {% paginate %} does not work, but other {% load pagination_tags %} and {% autopaginate object_list 10 %} works!

Error message appeared, when I add {% paginate %} into html page:

TemplateSyntaxError at /logging
Caught an exception while rendering: pagination/pagination.html

What I have done:

1. Install django-pagination without any problems. When I do in python import pagination, it’s work well.

2. Added pagination to INSTALLED_APP in settings.py:

   INSTALLED_APPS = (
   # …,
   ‘pagination’,
   )

3. Added in settings.py:

   TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS = (
   “django.core.context_processors.auth”,
   “django.core.context_processors.debug”,
   “django.core.context_processors.i18n”,
   “django.core.context_processors.media”,
   “django.core.context_processors.request”
   )

4. Also add to settings.py middleware:

   MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = (
   # …
   ‘pagination.middleware.PaginationMiddleware’,
   )

5. Add to top in views.py:

   from django.template import RequestContext

6. And finally add to my HTML template page lines:

   {% load pagination_tags %}
   …
   {% autopaginate item_list 50 %}
   {% for item in item_list %}
   …
   {% endfor %}
   {% paginate %}

Thanks.

ADDED for stevejalim:

@login_required
def logging(request):
    pid = request.GET.get('portfolio_id', 1)
    item_list = TransactionsLogging.objects.filter(Q(portfolio_id=pid)).order_by('-datetime')
    return render_to_response('accounting/logging.html', {'item_list': item_list, 'user': request.user,}, context_instance = RequestContext(request))

PS: some edits required, because I can’t django code style work well here 🙂
