Trailhead Visualforce Pagination
Working through the Trailhead Visualforce Beginner section and working in the Using Standard List Controller section. Following through the lesson, I am trying to get the pagination section to work but cannot seem to. I have tried like 5 times now. Any ideas on what I am doing wrong?
<apex:page standardController="Contact" recordSetVar="contacts">
<apex:form>
<apex:pageBlock title="Contacts List" id="contacts_list">
Filter:
<apex:selectList value="{! filterId }" size="1">
<apex:selectOptions value="{! listViewOptions }"/>
<apex:actionSupport event="onchange" reRender="contacts_list"/>
</apex:selectList>
<!-- Contacts List -->
<apex:pageBlockTable value="{! contacts }" var="ct">
<!-- Pagination -->
<table style="width: 100%"><tr>
<td>
<!-- Page X of Y -->
Page: <apex:outputText
value=" {!PageNumber} of {! CEILING(ResultSize / PageSize) }"/>
</td>
<td align="center">
<!-- Previous page -->
<!-- active -->
<apex:commandLink action="{! Previous }" value="« Previous"
rendered="{! HasPrevious }"/>
<!-- inactive (no earlier pages) -->
<apex:outputText style="color: #ccc;" value="« Previous"
rendered="{! NOT(HasPrevious) }"/>
<!-- Next page -->
<!-- active -->
<apex:commandLink action="{! Next }" value="Next »"
rendered="{! HasNext }"/>
<!-- inactive (no more pages) -->
<apex:outputText style="color: #ccc;" value="Next »"
rendered="{! NOT(HasNext) }"/>
<!-- Next page -->
</td>
<td align="right">
<!-- Records per page -->
Records per page:
<apex:selectList value="{! PageSize }" size="1">

Because that tag iterates over every Contact, you don't want it rendering the pagination controls X number of times, just once :)

If you can mark the question as resolved it'll prevent others from jumping in here unnecessarily. Thanks!
