PrimeFaces 3.2 DataTable "jump to page" paginator template?

Question

According to the official PrimeFaces 3.2 documentation, the paginator template can be a combination of the following predefined paginator templates:

• {FirstPageLink}
• {LastPageLink}
• {PreviousPageLink}
• {NextPageLink}
• {PageLinks}
• {CurrentPageReport}
• {RowsPerPageDropDown}

This is fine for small data sets, but it's extremely hard to navigate thru the pages if the data set is huge: imagine you have a few thousands (or even more) of pages, you're at the very first start, page No. 1, and you want to jump directly to page No. 813, and then -- to No. 499). So:

1. Is there a way to enhance the existing templates set for the paginator in PrimeFaces 3.2 DataTable, e.g. adding a custom template?
2. If not, ... is there a way (I assume it as a potential hack) affect the data table navigation like in the scenario I described above?

Your help would be really appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

There is a paginator option {JumpToPageDropdown} you can use to select the page from the dropdown. I don't think it is documented.
