This mod replaces the default page index with an HTML select (or dropdown, if you prefer).
It also has next page and previous page buttons built in, each side of the select.
The mod comes with CSS to support RTL languages.
Changelog
v.1.0.2 - 14/2/2020 - Incorporated Bugo's suggestions of cache cleaning code in install.xml, and removing fixed width from CSS for .subject .antPages_select (small selects on message index).
It seems very good I will try it on a test site I have, great job! :D
Regards!
I thought it was a sensible idea. I actually coded the thing literally years ago, but for some reason had never got around to submitting it.
Please, add this line to <install> section in package-info.xml:
<code type="inline">clean_cache();</code>
It will help to clean cache after the mod installing (to avoid doing this manually).
In addition, on the topic list page (MessageIndex), I noticed that when long words are using (i.e., "Страница" instead of "Page"), the right page select is not displayed completely. See my screenshot below. Removing the "width" property (".subject .antPages_select" rule in index.css) fixes the problem.
In any case, this mod is classy. Big thanks :)

Wow that is a good idea. Should that be in SMF by default? every-time a mod is installed?

Now there's a point. Come to think of it, I'm not sure why I set a fixed width there anyway. I'll change it now. :)
ETA: Aha! I just remembered. I was using the fixed width on local to hide the "of 26" text after the "Page 1", to make the default display more compact on the message index. I just thought it looked neater like that. But sure, I can see it causing problems with other languages.
What I'll do is remove the width in the default CSS, and add a comment there suggesting that people can tweak the display themselves for their preferred language if they want to. Which still won't be a perfect solution for multi-language sites, but anyone who is really keen can always run a browser extension like Stylem.
ETA: Ok, done. Version 1.0.2 uploaded. :)
Hi
Is it possible to increase the width slightly?
The text becomes too long, see picture

Edited to remove size restriction bbc ~ Steve
Is this mod independent of theme in use? (i.e. will it wok with any theme) ?
Do you plan to release a 2.1 compatible version in due course?
Also... which marsupials do you consider dangerous?

Yes, it's easy enough to do. Will dig out the code later.

Yes, but it may need CSS tweaks to look good with some themes.

Probably should. :P
