Paginator

How can I use the paginator for comments? Is it even possible?

The paginator for comments is only available in v3.0.0, which is still a work-in-progress. The paginator is done, but the complete version is not finished yet, and the documentation is not ready. Nevertheless you can see how it works in the demos/project-stories, in the branch v3.0, there is a README.md with instructions on how to set up that demo project.

About the paginator, you can take a look at the paginator.py module, it has a long doc string explaining how it works, it might be a bit obscure, because it deals with comments that can have nested comments. Basically, the paginator never splits a comment thread. That's why it has the behaviour explained in the doc string.

The reason why v2 does not have a paginator is that v2 uses a tree to render comments, while v3 uses a list. In v3 we use render_xtdcomment_list instead of v2's render_xtdcomment_tree.

Let me know if you encounter any problem with the demo/project-stories or if you have questions about the paginator. I hope to be able to release v3 sometime in the near future... 🙂

Well, I will wait for V3.0. I hope to wait 🙂
