Pagination Template Fix Summary

Issue Description

The templates/organizations/patient_list.html template was attempting to include a non-existent pagination template:

{% include 'includes/pagination.html' with page_obj=page_obj %}

This caused a TemplateDoesNotExist error when accessing the patient list page.

Root Cause

• The templates/includes directory does not exist in the project
• The project uses inline pagination code in templates instead of a shared include
• Other list views (e.g., complaint_list.html) implement pagination directly in their templates

Solution Implemented

File Modified

• templates/organizations/patient_list.html

Changes Made

Replaced the non-existent include statement with inline pagination code following the pattern used in complaints/complaint_list.html:

1. Removed: {% include 'includes/pagination.html' with page_obj=page_obj %}

2. Added: Complete inline pagination implementation including:

   • Page information display (showing X-Y of Z entries)
   • Page size selector (10, 25, 50, 100 entries per page)
   • Previous/Next navigation buttons
   • Page number links with ellipsis for large page sets
   • Preservation of query parameters when navigating
   • Tailwind CSS styling consistent with the project design

Key Features of the Fix

• Responsive Design: Uses Tailwind CSS for styling
• User-Friendly: Shows current page range and total entries
• Flexible: Page size selector allows users to customize view
• Robust: Handles edge cases (first/last pages, large page counts)
• Parameter Preservation: Maintains filter parameters when changing pages

Verification

View Context

The patient_list view in apps/organizations/ui_views.py already provides the required context:

• page_obj: Django pagination object
• patients: Current page's patient list
• hospitals: Available hospitals for filtering
• filters: Current filter parameters

No Other Templates Affected

A search across all templates confirmed that patient_list.html was the only template with this pagination include issue.

Testing Recommendations

1. Navigate to the Patients list page
2. Verify pagination controls appear at the bottom of the table
3. Test page navigation (previous/next buttons)
4. Test page size selector (10, 25, 50, 100)
5. Verify filter parameters are preserved when changing pages
6. Test with various data volumes (single page, multiple pages, many pages)

Files Changed

• templates/organizations/patient_list.html - Replaced pagination include with inline code

Related Files (No Changes Required)

• apps/organizations/ui_views.py - Already provides correct context
• templates/complaints/complaint_list.html - Reference implementation used

Status

✅ COMPLETE - The pagination issue has been resolved by replacing the non-existent include with inline pagination code that matches the project's established pattern.
