How to show the correct object numbers when using django-pagination

Question

I am using django-pagination to paginate my object list. It is working flawlessly. I want to give a number to each object on the page and I am using {{forloop.counter}} for that, but the problem is it starts the object count from 1 on each page. I wanted to display the actual object count.

Say if I am paginating 10 objects per page, then I want to object number as 11 for the first object on page 2. I tried writing a template filter for this, but somehow I am not able to send both request.get.page and {{forloop.counter}} to my filter function. I am unable to do it that way.

Any help for direction will be appreciated.

Answer 1

You can use the add template tag to add the current count from the paginator to the forloop

{{ forloop.counter|add:paginator.page.start_index }}

Answer 2

I have used this in my template and its working properly

{{ page_obj.start_index|add:forloop.counter0 }}

Or you can use

 {% for obj in obj_list %}
     {{ forlopp.counter0|add:obj_list.start_index }}
 {% endfor %}

Answer 3

add paginator start index with for loop counter starting from zero

in template

{% for object in page_objects %}
    ...
    {{ forloop.counter0|add:page_objects.start_index }}
    ...
    ...
{% endfor %}

in view

objects = Abcdef.objects.all() # Abcdef is the modal
paginator = Paginator(objects, 10)
page_number = request.GET.get('page')
try:
    page_objects = paginator.page(page_number)
except PageNotAnInteger:
    page_objects = paginator.page(1)
except EmptyPage:
    page_objects = paginator.page(paginator.num_pages)    
data = {
    "page_objects" : page_objects,
}
return render(request, "template/template.html", data)
