Pagination.php function override?

-- HikaShop version -- : 2.2
-- Joomla version -- : 3.1
-- PHP version -- : 5.3

I'm just wondering is it possible to have an override for the following function that is located in the pagination.php file:

function _list_render($list){
		$html = null;

		$html .= '<span class="pagenav_start_chevron">&lt;&lt; </span>';
		$html .= $list['start']['data'];
		$html .= '<span class="pagenav_previous_chevron"> &lt; </span>';
		$html .= $list['previous']['data'];
		foreach( $list['pages'] as $page ) {
			$html .= ' '.$page['data'];
		}
		$html .= ' '. $list['next']['data'];
		$html .= '<span class="pagenav_next_chevron"> &gt;</span>';
		$html .= ' '. $list['end']['data'];
		$html .= '<span class="pagenav_end_chevron"> &gt;&gt;</span>';

		return $html;
	}

Hi,

Sure you can edit this code if you want to, but you should maybe give some precision about what you really want to do if you want some help .

Hi Mohamed,

Thanks for the quick reply, sorry, I may not have phrased my post clearly there above. What I mean is, is there a way to override that function so that in the event of an update, my changes will not be lost? I see some instructions to override other fucntions in other php files on the website and I see the if statements in the php that will execute the override if it exists, but I don't see this in the pagination.php file, for this particular function. So if I edit directly and upload, I will just lose changes on any future update.

Thanks - figured it out using this help file: docs.joomla.org/Understanding_Output_Overrides

Just had to put the pagination.php file with the function I'm overriding into the /html folder of my template.
