Generic Views do provide pagination support. See the "paginate_by" argument: http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/generic_views/#django-views-generic-list-detail-object-list If you need custom pagination in your own views see: http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/models/pagination/ > I really can't believe there's no way to do this with generic > views, it's a common thing to have to do. It's no good if you lose > your search query every time you change pages :) Well, that depends. Is your search result going to potentially return thousands of hits? Are dozens of users going to be able to perform different searches at the same time? If so, it's no good for the application to hang on to the search results. Consider many users launching searches and never going to page #2. The cached querysets will have to linger on wasting away precious server resources. In other words, it would be a scalability issue. If your search results are limited to say a few pages or if scalability is not a problem or if the search query is very complex and time-consuming to perform, you could turn your queryset into a list and cache it (using Django's caching framework) and then feed it to your view from the cache if found. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
