Hello,
On nearly every page of the website I'm creating, I have a list of recent
articles in the sidebar that works as a complete archive. You can sort them
by newest/oldest, and page through the entire archive. The template code for
the pagination looks like this
{% for page_number in page_list %}
{% ifnotequal page_number current_page %}
<a class="deselected" href="?p={{ page_number
}}&sort={{sort_order}}">{{page_number}}</a>
{% else %}
{{ page_number }}
{% endifnotequal %}
{% endfor %}
As a result, as soon as you sort, or page through, the url gets a
querystring appended to it. I'd like to keep them as clean as possible, so I
was thinking of only adding the sort_order to the pagination hrefs if it's
not the default. Something like:
{% for page_number in page_list %}
{% ifnotequal page_number current_page %}
<a class="deselected" href="?p={{ page_number }}
{% ifnotequal sort_order default_sort }}
&sort={{sort_order}}
{% endifnotequal %}
">{{page_number}}</a>
{% else %}
{{ page_number }}
{% endifnotequal %}
{% endfor %}
But I'm unhappy that there's so much logic in the template, and it's getting
hard to read. I understand that maybe every page shouldn't have this list
with ordering and pagination, but it's something I'm experimenting with, and
I'd like to get it working in the best order I can.
I thought about doing most of the processing in the view and outputting the
pagination as a single string, but then I've moved at least a small bit of
HTML into my view. I feel like there should be a cleaner way. Am I doing
something wrong, or is this an acceptable level of logic in the template?
I hope that's clear.
Thanks
