Magento – Pagination missing on category pages

magento-1.9paginationxml

The pagination is missing on my toolbar on category pages, it works for the search results. I debugged the code and figured what the problem is.

In the Toolbar block there is a function getPagerHtml. It contains this code:

$pagerBlock = $this->getChild('product_list_toolbar_pager');

if ($pagerBlock instanceof Varien_Object) { 
    ... 
}

The problem in my case is, $pagerBlock is false on category pages in my case, so the pagination is never rendered and shown.

What could be the problem for that? I checked the catalog.xml and the product_list_toolbar_pager block is there.

Thanks!

Check your layout xml file (catalog.xml) of current theme

is block

<block type="page/html_pager" name="product_list_toolbar_pager"/>

really exist under <catalog_category_default> and <catalog_category_layered> handler ?

if this is exist then check other custom modules layout file for any overwriting.

Magento – Add Custom Collection Pagination to Existing Category Page

This is how you can set custom toolbar and pager for your custom collection, below is an example shared, I am using this snippet currently.

Set Toolbar and Pager inside your phtml (your file that is to be called inside static block):

/*  Set Toolbar Pagination for Custom Loaded Collection */                              
$toolbar = Mage::getBlockSingleton('catalog/product_list')->getToolbarBlock();
$toolbar->setCollection($_productCollection);

/*  Set Pager   */
$pager = $this->getLayout()->createBlock('page/html_pager', 'custom.pager');
$pager->setAvailableLimit(array($itemsLimit=>$itemsLimit));
$pager->setCollection($_productCollection);
$toolbar->addPagerLimit('grid', 50, 50);
$toolbar->addPagerLimit('grid', 75, 75);
$toolbar->addPagerLimit('grid', 100, 100);
$toolbar->setChild('product_list_toolbar_pager', $pager);
$toolbar->setData('_current_limit', $itemsLimit);

//Set order, define $sortBy and $orderBy
$toolbar->setData('_current_grid_order', $sortBy);
$toolbar->setData('_current_grid_direction', $orderBy);

To display toolbar on top of list, use :

<?php echo $toolbar->toHtml(); ?>

And to display pager on bottom, use :

   <!-- Show Bottom Pagination Toolbar -- PAGER -->
    <div class="toolbar-bottom">
          <div class="toolbar">
            <?php echo $pager->toHtml();?>
          </div>
    </div>

Now you can call static block on a category page
Then you can define your file path inside that static block
Call your custom collection inside that file and use steps above
And That's it :) Enjoy
