if (EnablePaging == true)
{
this.epiNewsListSimple.Paging = true;
this.epiNewsListSimple.PageLink = newssource;
this.epiNewsListSimple.PagingControl = new CustomPager();
this.epiNewsListSimple.PagesPerPagingItem = 3;

if (Request.QueryString["p"] != null)
{
this.epiNewsListSimple.PagingControl.CurrentPagingItemIndex = int.Parse(Request.QueryString["p"].ToString().Trim());
}
}
else
{
this.epiNewsListSimple.Paging = false;
this.epiNewsListSimple.PageLink = newssource;
this.epiNewsListSimple.MaxCount = 3;
}

this.epiNewsListSimple.DataBind();

So, for me it looks like changes to the paging control made from the custom class didn’t change anything in fact
Very strange…

Anyway – the control is working as expected now.

public class CustomPager : PagingControl
{
}

The paging should work. After making sure it works try adding a few more methods and check that it still works, then some more etc, until you find the source of the problem.

pageTemplate[ WebControl[PageList] ]

And now I’m trying to apply custom paging to this PageList.

Also I’ve selected to use simple links instead of …:

protected override LinkButton AddSelectedPagingLink(int pagingIndex, string text, string altText)
{
HtmlGenericControl cntrl = new HtmlGenericControl();
cntrl.Attributes.Add(“class”, this.CssClassSelected);
cntrl.InnerText = text;
HtmlGenericControl cntrlSeparator = new HtmlGenericControl();
cntrlSeparator.InnerHtml = “    ”;
this.HtmlContainer.Controls.Add(cntrl);
this.HtmlContainer.Controls.Add(cntrlSeparator);
return null;
}

protected override LinkButton AddUnselectedPagingLink(int pagingIndex, string text, string altText, bool visible)
{
HtmlGenericControl cntrl = new HtmlGenericControl();
HyperLink hlChild = this.CreatePagingHyperLink(pagingIndex, text, altText);
hlChild.CssClass = this.CssClassUnselected;
hlChild.Visible = visible;
HtmlGenericControl hlChildSeparator = new HtmlGenericControl();
hlChildSeparator.InnerHtml = “    ”;

cntrl.Controls.Add(hlChild);
cntrl.Controls.Add(hlChildSeparator);
this.HtmlContainer.Controls.Add(cntrl);
return null;
}

// Code for this: http://world.episerver.com/Forum/Pages/Thread.aspx?id=19742&epslanguage=en#RE:Custom%20pagin%20template
private static string CreateUrl(int count)
{
UrlBuilder url = new UrlBuilder(HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.PathAndQuery);
Global.UrlRewriteProvider.ConvertToExternal(url, null, UTF8Encoding.UTF8);

return UriSupport.AddQueryString(url.ToString(), “p”, count.ToString());
}

protected HyperLink CreatePagingHyperLink(int pagingIndex, string text, string altText)
{
HyperLink link = new HyperLink();
this.LinkCounter++;
link.ID = “PagingID” + this.LinkCounter;
link.NavigateUrl = CreateUrl(pagingIndex);
link.Text = text;
link.ToolTip = altText;

return link;
}

And – removed first-last, prev-next links

I have a public property in my webcontrol named ‘EnablePaging’ and I’m using it to select how PageList should be rendered:

if (EnablePaging == true)
{
this.epiNewsListSimple.Paging = true;
this.epiNewsListSimple.PageLink = newssource;
this.epiNewsListSimple.PagingControl = new {%namespace here%}.CustomPager();
this.epiNewsListSimple.PagesPerPagingItem = 3;
this.epiNewsListSimple.MaxCount = -1;
this.epiNewsListSimple.EnableViewState = true;
}
else
{
this.epiNewsListSimple.Paging = false;
this.epiNewsListSimple.PageLink = newssource;
this.epiNewsListSimple.MaxCount = 3;
}

this.epiNewsListSimple.DataBind();

I’ve used your approach to implement the custom paging and it works OK, but…
Paging works correctly *ONLY* for logged-in users. For anynomous visitor – when you click “2″ in paging the same first page will be just reloaded.

Any ideas why this could be?
