Hello,
Here’s what i want to do. I want to customize the pager used in the product list view. I know that is not hard, but here’s my question.
I want to have the pager appear on a custom part of the site. For the moment the pager is a part of the product.list.toolbar block
I want the pager to be a distinct block, that I can refer to in my page.xml file. This way I could place the pager anywhere I’d like on the page (when I’m on the product list page).
I tried creating a separate block for it, and it is referenced, the thing is that I need to parse also the objects from the list (the records from the database)
$_productCollection=$this->getLoadedProductCollection()
since $this is null in my case, it won’t work…
Here is what I use in page.xml
<block type="core/text_list" name="pager" as="pager"/>
and what I have in catalog.xml, on
<catalog_category_default>
:
<reference name="pager">
<block type="catalog/product_list" name="pager.scroll" template="page/html/pager.phtml" />
</reference>
As I’ve understood, the block type part points to the module. So I’m assuming the code for the Mage_Catalog_Block_Product_List class is executed. And I’m assuming this class must call on the product model class, in order to fetch the fields from the database. But I guess it doesn’t do anything, since I get an empty object.
Call to a member function getProductCollection() on a non-object in
Anyone tried this?
