Make use of fancy pagers in your Drupal Views with Pagerer

The Pagerer module provides additional preset styles for Drupal standard pages and Views. It is a very simple module with styling options for everyone.

In this tutorial, you will learn how to add a pager to a View with Pagerer. Let’s get started.

Click Create

You’ll be presented with a configuration screen with multiple options.

  • The Panes dictate the position of the pager within the screen
  • The Style options define the style of the pager itself
  • Experiment with these options in order to see how each pager would look in the pager preview

Edit Fancy Pager

  • Once you selected a style for your pager, click the Configure button.

You’ll see a page with multiple configuration options, for example:

  • Prefix and suffix labels
  • The description and help texts
  • The width of the slider
  • Choose your options and click Save

Center pane settings

  • Click Save once again until you see the Pagerer page. You will see your newly created pager as an option.
  • Select it and click Save Configuration

Replace standard pagerer

Step #2. Add the pager to your View
