Pods pagination - creating a custom pagination navigation

[msuemnig]

Right now I'm doing the following to get the pagination echo'd to the page
echo $trend->pagination( array( 'type' => 'advanced', 'first_last' => false, 'prev_text' => '<<', 'next_text' => '>>') );
And that works great and spits out:
<span class="pods-pagination-number pods-pagination-current ">2</span> <a href="/whatstrending/?pg=3&#038;page_id=whatstrending/" class="pods-pagination-number pods-pagination-last ">3</a> <a href="/whatstrending/?pg=3&#038;page_id=whatstrending/" class="pods-pagination-number pods-pagination-next ">>></a> </span>
However, I want to have it spit out the following:
<nav> <ul class="pagination"> <li><a href="/whatstrending/?pg=1&#038;page_id=whatstrending/">&laquo;</a></li> <li><a href="/whatstrending/?pg=1&#038;page_id=whatstrending/"></a></li> <li>2</li> <li><a href="/whatstrending/?pg=3&#038;page_id=whatstrending/"></a></li> <li><a href="/whatstrending/?pg=3&#038;page_id=whatstrending/">&raquo;</a></li> </ul> </nav>

The documentation implies that I can overwrite the default output of the pagination elements, but doesn't give me enough to go on to figure it out. I would very much appreciate any help that can be given!

The output of HTML elements with the Pods pagination templates is fixed.
Your only option would be to create your own function that will generate a pagination. This can be done with Pods filters but I think it will be much easier to just do this yourself.

Thank you for the answer. I did as you suggested.

You can filter specific pagination types with the pods_pods_pagination_{type} filter (yes, pods_ for our global action/filter namespace, and the second pods_ to represent the Pods() class itself).

https://github.com/pods-framework/pods/blob/2.x/classes/Pods.php#L3122

We intend on allowing custom pagination types in the future which point to template files in your theme. For now, make use of that filter above.

/**

 * @param string $output  Pagination output

 */
function my_pods_pagination_advanced( $output, $params, $pods ) {

    // Build your own pagination output here
    $output = '<your html here>';

    return $output;

}

add_filter( 'pods_pods_pagination_advanced', 'my_pods_pagination_advanced', 10, 2 );

removing $pods argument helped me. With $pods parameter, I had the following error "Warning: Missing argument 3 for my_pods_pagination_advanced() in D:...\functions.php on line N"

Maybe my ugly code can help somebody

function my_pods_pagination_advanced( $output, $params ) {
	$url         = str_replace( "%_%", $params->page_var . "=", $params->base );
	$page_number = $params->total;
	if ( $page_number <= 1 ) {
		return null;
	}
	$current_page = $params->page;
	$left_number  = $middle_number = $right_number = 0;
	if ( $current_page == $page_number ) {
		$right_number  = $page_number;
		$middle_number = $right_number - 1;
		$left_number   = $right_number - 2;
	} elseif ( $current_page == 1 ) {
		$left_number   = 1;
		$middle_number = $left_number + 1;
		$right_number  = $left_number + 2;
	} else {
		$middle_number = $current_page;
		$left_number   = $middle_number - 1;
		$right_number  = $middle_number + 1;
	}
	$output = '<div class="navigation"><div class="navigation_in">';
	if ( $current_page == $page_number ) {
		// right number selected
		$output .= '<a class="navig_arrow navig_back_double" href="' . $url . '1' . '"></a>';
		$output .= '<a class="navig_arrow navig_back" href="' . $url . $middle_number . '"></a>';
		if ( $left_number > 0 ) {
			$output .= '<a href="' . $url . $left_number . '">' . $left_number . '</a>';
		}
		if ( $middle_number > 0 ) {
			$output .= '<a href="' . $url . $middle_number . '">' . $middle_number . '</a>';
		}
		$output .= '<span>' . $right_number . '</span>';
	} elseif ( $current_page == 1 ) {
		// left number selected
		$output .= '<span>' . $left_number . '</span>';
		$output .= '<a href="' . $url . $middle_number . '">' . $middle_number . '</a>';
		if ( $right_number <= $page_number ) {
			$output .= '<a href="' . $url . $right_number . '">' . $right_number . '</a>';
		}
		$output .= '<a class="navig_arrow navig_forward" href="' . $url . $middle_number . '"></a>';
		$output .= '<a class="navig_arrow navig_forward_double" href="' . $url . $page_number . '"></a>';
	} else {
		// middle number selected
		$output .= '<a class="navig_arrow navig_back_double" href="' . $url . '1' . '"></a>';
		$output .= '<a class="navig_arrow navig_back" href="' . $url . $left_number . '"></a>';
		$output .= '<a href="' . $url . $left_number . '">' . $left_number . '</a>';
		$output .= '<span>' . $middle_number . '</span>';
		$output .= '<a href="' . $url . $right_number . '">' . $right_number . '</a>';
		$output .= '<a class="navig_arrow navig_forward" href="' . $url . $right_number . '"></a>';
		$output .= '<a class="navig_arrow navig_forward_double" href="' . $url . $page_number . '"></a>';
	}
	$output .= '</div></div>';

	return $output;
