Pager Widgets

When to Use

Use this guide when you have an exposed pager (items per page) and want to render it as radio buttons or links instead of a dropdown.

Decision

Plugin ID Class Title
default DefaultWidget Default (select dropdown)
bef RadioButtons Radio Buttons
bef_links Links Links

Pager widgets have minimal configuration — only the secondary panel option:

Option Config Key Default
Is secondary advanced.is_secondary FALSE

Pattern

# Enable exposed pager in Views UI:
1. Edit the View → Pager settings
2. Check "Allow people to choose the number of items displayed"
3. Save → BEF pager widget options appear in BEF settings

The pager elements (items_per_page, offset) are transformed to the selected widget type.

Common Mistakes

  • Wrong: Expecting pager widget options in BEF settings without exposing the pager → Right: Enable "Allow people to choose the number of items displayed" in the View's pager settings first.
