19375	Class-based generic views + pagination hard to understand	vtbassmatt@…	nobody	"The example template shown in the pagination section of the docs ([https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.4/topics/pagination/]) doesn't work with class-based generic views (such as ListView). However, the MultipleObjectMixins section ([https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.4/ref/class-based-views/#multiple-object-mixins]) suggests reading the pagination docs. I eventually figured out how to get it working thanks to a StackOverflow entry, but it would be great if the Django docs gave the correct information.

Concretely: If you set '''paginate_by''' in the constructor of ListView, then you don't use ''context_object''.has_previous, ''context_object''.has_next, etc. Instead, you use '''page_obj'''.has_previous, '''page_obj'''.has_next, etc. ('''page_obj''' is brought into the global namespace on the template rather than being represented by the context object.)"
