views_grouping_field_pager

This module provides a pager plugin for Drupal Views for handling views with grouped results (grouped via views style options).

Why

When using standard Views pagers with grouped content, pagination will break your grouping structure and display unexpected results. This module solves this problem by:

• Treating each group as a single item for pagination purposes
• Ensuring that groups stay intact across page boundaries
• Maintaining consistent navigation through grouped content

How It Works

• It executes a count view to analyze the full result set,
• calculates the proper offset and limit values to display complete groups on each page,
• provides pagination controls similar to Views' full pager

Caveats

• Only tested with one grouping field (views allows grouping by two fields)
• There is a performance impact as the view is executed twice. However, the first execution only retrieves structural data, so the overhead should be minimal.

Usage

1. Create a view and add a grouping field in the format settings
2. Under the pager settings, select "Grouping field pager"
3. Optionally specify the grouping field, or let the module detect it from your view's grouping settings
