Editing Pagination button size

D19cannon

Hi guy! I have been searching for an option that defines how many buttons you have in the pagination.
My current situation looks as follow:

And I wish to remove page 4 and 5 for instance.
Tabulator plugin had a solution that was:
$("#example-table").tabulator({
paginationButtonCount:7,
});

Is there similar solution for datatables?

Yes, but its currently not documented:

$.fn.DataTable.ext.pager.numbers_length

Is the source.

Hi Allan! Thanks for the quick response. I see your solution, however, I do not understand how to apply it? Is there a setting option or anything, something like this: ?

allan

You would set that parameter before initialising the DataTable as its a static parameter:

$.fn.DataTable.ext.pager.number_length = 5;
$('#sensor_table').DataTable({
  ...
});

I tried to do it the way you suggested. Unfortunately, without luck so i tried a few different ways. Calling before the table is called, when the DOM is initialised, but that didn't work either.

Any other suggestions?

Update: I can see something is happening, because when change 'pager' into 'page' it won't load my page any more. So, is there a function which is maybe similar to that one?
