Pagination in Zen Cart
When a listing page is created, the results are shown in paginated blocks, with navigation between blocks of results. For example, here’s the Specials page on a mobile device.
In this screenshot, there are 27 specials, which are displayed in groups of 9. The navigation controls (Next and Previous links) may be shown at the top, bottom or both places.
The desktop display is similar, but because a desktop screen is wider, more products per row can be shown.
Pagination controls are provided in the Zen Cart admin on the page Admin > Configuration > Maximum Values:
| Page Name | Control |
|---|---|
| Specials | Products on Special |
| New Products | New Products Listing- Number Per Page |
| Featured Products | Maximum Display of Featured Products Page |
| Advanced Search Results | Products Listing- Number Per Page |
| Index Listing | Products Listing- Number Per Page |
| All Products | Maximum Display of Products All Page |
The behavior and appearance of the Next and Previous navigation links is controlled using settings on the Admin > Configuration > Product Info page.
And since these are template elements, they can be styled. For example, here’s another template’s interpretation of the navigation:
