Paginate starting from last page about django-endless-pagination HOT 12 CLOSED

Hi artscoop,

currently there is no way to do that, thanks for suggesting this interesting use case.
I'd like to add this functionality, it should not be too much difficult.
Any suggestion on a clean API for this feature? paginate starting from page -1?

Hello Francesco,
A negative number is a good idea, one could use -1 for the last page, -2 and so on.
This would allow the regex to stay clean and similar to list indexes.
If it seems good for you, a too negative index (ex. -20 when there are only 10 pages) should default to the last page.

Hi artscoop,

agreed on using negative numbers. I am on it.
However, in the case of an out of range negative index, why do you think it should default to the last page?
Defaulting to the first page makes more sense to me: that's the default behavior already used when the requested page is out of range. What do you think? Am I missing something?
Thanks.

First working implementation pushed to trunk. This feature is still undocumented.

Oh nice, thank you so much !
I think an off limits negative index should reflect the same behaviour as positive integers, but starting with the last page in the list. Hence the last page when too negative. But this is not mandatory, since I can't see any use case for this.

artscoop, my pleasure. Added documentation, closing this bug.

Hi,
Sorry to revive this thread, but there is one more thing, a small bug with the feature:
When the starting index is negative, clicking the matching page in the page list should remove the URL query parameter.
Example:
You have a 5 page thread, autopaginated to start at the last page.
You add messages, this "creates" a new page which is displayed automatically without the need to click the pagination.
Then you click page 1.
Then you click page 6.
You add enough messages to reach a count of 7 pages.
But this time, you're still on page 6, which is wrong.

Is Ajax involved in what you are reporting?

from django-endless-pagination.

Nope ! Just plain HTML.
The -n index does not equal the page index hence endless appending the ?page parameter

from django-endless-pagination.

Confirmed. When using negative indexes, the querystring is added to the path of the corresponding page when the page links are re-rendered after a page change.

Hi artscoop,
this bug is now fixed in trunk.
Could you please confirm that everything is running well for you too?
Thanks.
