Pagination on products page

Question

I need to show products pagination in the file template\catalog\product\list.phtml. How can I do it? Probably I need to edit catalog.xml but what to change I don't know.

Answer 1

$this->getPagerHtml() in catalog\product\list\toolbar.phtml means you are trying to call getPagerHtml() method of class Mage_Catalog_Block_Product_List_Toolbar
whereas $this->getPagerHtml() in catalog/product/list.phtml means you are trying to call getPagerHtml() method of class Mage_Catalog_Block_Product_List where it is not present.
If you want to call $this->getPagerHtml() in list.phtml then first you need to create object of class Mage_Catalog_Block_Product_List_Toolbar in list.phtml

Example :

$object = new Mage_Catalog_Block_Product_List_Toolbar();
$object->getPagerHtml();

First get your product collection. For example, here the collection is $merged_collection. then apply the following code in the position where you want to place the pager and toolbar.

<?php  
$layout = Mage::getSingleton('core/layout');
$pager = $layout->createBlock('page/html_pager');
$toolbar = Mage::getBlockSingleton('catalog/product_list')->getToolbarBlock();
$toolbar->setCollection($merged_collection);
$toolbar->setChild('product_list_toolbar_pager', $pager);
echo $toolbar->toHtml();
?>

Answer 3

Well, I wasnt able to find a way to get just the pager content, but I did find a way to show specific pieces of the toolbar, which contains the call to the pager.

In toolbar.phtml

Find the "sorter" div and wrap it like so:

<?php if (!$this->getHideSorter()) : ?>
*...sorter div stuff here...*
<?php endif; ?>

Similarly, find the "pager" div and wrap it like so:

<?php if (!$this->getHidePager()) : ?>
*...pager div stuff here...*
<?php endif; ?>

In list.phtml

You can add the pager like so:

<?php echo
$this->getToolbarBlock()->setHideSorter(true)->setHidePager(false)->toHtml();
?>

And you can add the sorter with this:

<?php echo 
$this->getToolbarBlock()->setHideSorter(false)->setHidePager(true)->toHtml();
?>

Or you could add both like this:

<?php echo 
$this->getToolbarBlock()->setHideSorter(false)->setHidePager(false)->toHtml();
?>

I would not have come to this solution without the help from another answer here on Stackexchange... Much props to @Marius (https://magento.stackexchange.com/users/146/marius) for his answer here:

How can I disable/remove the pager in toolbar above my product-grid?

For Magento 1.9 the only code that worked for me was the following:

$toolbarBlock = $this->getChild('product_list_toolbar');
$pagerBlock = $toolbarBlock->getChild('product_list_toolbar_pager');

$pagerBlock->setAvailableLimit($toolbarBlock->getAvailableLimit());

$pagerBlock->setUseContainer(false)
    ->setShowPerPage(false)
    ->setShowAmounts(false)
    ->setLimitVarName($toolbarBlock->getLimitVarName())
    ->setPageVarName($toolbarBlock->getPageVarName())
    ->setLimit($toolbarBlock->getLimit())
    ->setFrameLength(Mage::getStoreConfig('design/pagination/pagination_frame'))
    ->setJump(Mage::getStoreConfig('design/pagination/pagination_frame_skip'))
    ->setCollection($_productCollection);

echo $pagerBlock->toHtml();
