Installation instructions
To make this code work, you must have a customized layout in your Primo view. It can work without a customized layout (by placing the code in the footer, but this is currently not supported in the code.
You need a server where you put the pagination file (pagination.php). I have created a PHP-file, but the only PHP part is the request variable parsed by Primo to the tile, to tell the total number of results. This can be done in almost any programming language.
You must make the following modifications to your code:
- Make a link to your own copy of the jQuery cookie plug-in.
- Correct the selector for where the pagination is appended.
When you add the pagination as a custom tile in Primo, you can set the ID and class that the custom tile is wrapped in. And then you must correct the value in this codeline:$('#aubidPagination').html(text);
This is how it looks in our customized view.
TO DO list
- Pagination does not work when it is a mailed link, at least in some cases.
- Better documentation
Known issues
See the TO DO list :)

Thanks Karsten. This is handy. We added links to jump to the first and last pages too. I can send you the code if you're interested.
Also, for users who do not want to use customized layouts, you could use the "ideasbrief.jsp" page. You would just need to replace this line:
... with something like this:

Jeff,
Which Primo version are you using? Out ideasbrief.jsp only contains:
<!-- ($
)[$
] -->
Thanks.

Hi Karsten and Jeff,
Thank you for this, it is very useful and we have just used this in our Production Similar environment. Instead of PHP, we are using $
to get the value and ideasbrief.jsp file.
Best wishes,
Masud

Hi All,
I don't understand why cookies are needed. Is this feature also possible without using cookies?

Hi
As I remember, the cookies are used to store the number of results per page. Otherwise you will not be able to find this information when the user gets to the last page.
I guess if you write some serverside code on the Primo server, you will be able to make it without cookies.
BR,
Karsten
