Is there a way to make the knp paginator show only show next and previous buttons

Question

How it renders it

1 2 3 > >> (page numbers, next button, last page button)

How I need it to render

> (only next button)

How the render method is triggered on the twig file

<div class="pagination">
   {{ knp_pagination_render(pagination) }}
</div>

maybe this will help, this is the render function inside of the knp paginator source code

    /**
     * Renders the pagination template
     *
     * @param string $template
     * @param array $queryParams
     * @param array $viewParams
     *
     * @return string
     */
    public function render($pagination, $template = null, array $queryParams = array(), array $viewParams = array())
    {
        return $this->environment->render(
            $template ?: $pagination->getTemplate(),
            $this->processor->render($pagination, $queryParams, $viewParams)
        );
    }

   /**
   * Get name
   *
   * @return string
   */
   public function getName()
   {
      return 'knp_pagination';
   }

Since the website will have thousands(probably millions) of pictures, I need to get rid of the page numbers and only show the "next" button once the user has reached the end of the infinite scroll

One way to do that is override twig file. Find file sliding.html.twig and copy it into app/Resources/KnpPaginatorBundle/views/Pagination and remove everything you don't need.

If you want only next and previous buttons then solution is:

{# default Sliding pagination control implementation #}

{% if pageCount > 1 %}
<div class="pagination">
    {% if previous is defined %}
        <span class="previous">
            <a href="{{ path(route, query|merge({(pageParameterName): previous})) }}">&lt;</a>
        </span>
    {% endif %}

    {% if next is defined %}
        <span class="next">
            <a href="{{ path(route, query|merge({(pageParameterName): next})) }}">&gt;</a>
        </span>
    {% endif %}
</div>

And of course clear cache.
