Changing simple pagination next/prev labels

The simplest way is to pass your Presenter as parameter of render method. Look at it in core :

public function render(Presenter $presenter = null)
{
    if (is_null($presenter) && static::$presenterResolver)
    {
        $presenter = call_user_func(static::$presenterResolver, $this);
    }

    $presenter = $presenter ?: new SimpleBootstrapThreePresenter($this);

    return $presenter->render();
}

Hello @bestmomo, thanks for your reply. I already saw your answer to other questions, but to be honest, I didn't understand very well. Should I create any new file, or edit the Laravel core in this case?

Thanks.

You create your class presenter maybe by extending SimpleBootstrapThreePresenter :

use Illuminate\Pagination\SimpleBootstrapThreePresenter ;

class myPresenter extends SimpleBootstrapThreePresenter {

  // ...

}

In your controller you create a new myPresenter (just inject it) and you send it to the view.

And you use it as parameter for render :

{!! $colleagues->appends(Request::except('page'))->render($mypresenter) !!}

But should be more elegant to generate links in controller and to send them to the view.

Okay, this is my CustomSimplePagination class, stored in app/Library/Pagination:

<?php namespace App\Library\Pagination;

use Illuminate\Pagination\SimpleBootstrapThreePresenter ;

class CustomSimplePagination extends SimpleBootstrapThreePresenter
{
    public function __construct(PaginatorContract $paginator)
    {
        $this->paginator = $paginator;
    }
    
    public function hasPages()
    {
        return $this->paginator->hasPages() && count($this->paginator->items()) > 0;
    }
    
    public function render()
    {
        if ($this->hasPages())
        {
            return sprintf(
                '<ul class="pager">%s %s</ul>',
                $this->getPreviousButton("test1"),
                $this->getNextButton("test2")
            );
        }
    
        return '';
    }
}

On my controller, I added:

use App\Library\Pagination\CustomSimplePagination;

Then, on my method, I added:

$customPaginationPresenter = new CustomSimplePagination;

And, I sent that variable to the view and used it like so:

{!! $colleagues->appends(Request::except('page'))->render($customPaginationPresenter) !!}

All of this should work fine, but when I go to my route, I get this error:

ErrorException in CustomSimplePagination.php line 13:
Argument 1 passed to App\Library\Pagination\CustomSimplePagination::__construct() must be an instance of App\Library\Pagination\PaginatorContract, none given, called in C:\www\htdocs\social\app\Http\Controllers\ProfileController.php on line 33 and defined

Okay, I solved this. I just had to add the query variable as a parameter to the Class init like this:

$customPaginationPresenter = new CustomSimplePagination($connections);

Thanks a lot for your help.

Sorry for bumping up an old thread (seemed the most recent relevant thread) but I just came across this issue myself and I found it rather strange. Just glad that someone else had already come across it.

The simple paginator used to use the lang files to determine the label text like so:

echo $presenter->getPrevious($trans->trans('pagination.previous'));

But now it's manually set, seems strange to have kept the pagination lang file if it's no longer being used by the paginator by default? It seems rather convoluted that I have to extend from the existing Paginator Presenter (and then specify this presenter in all of my render calls) just to restore that pretty useful logic.
