Sup guiys, i've managed to create paginators with as much pages i wanted but now i'm having trouble on adding buttons/select menus to interact with the current page.
Tried to look in the docs to see if i could find a solution but i might have missed something.
Would you guys have any advice?
Thx

A list?

no, it's a feature used when you want to show a list of certain things but it's too large. Therefore you divide it into multiple embeds and you can navigate through them using menu/buttons

Does the "This paginator does not belongs to you" is a Discord native thing or it's a I.py thing?

i.py. Anyone can press buttons, but for paginators it has been decided to do it "private" (i.e only the author can switch through pages)
idk if i.py supports removing this, maybe it is

That's actually a cool feat tho

The buttons should already come with the Paginator, what exact functions would like to add to the Paginator?

Well, i'd like to use paginators as a "shop" where people could paginate and then click "Buy" on the wanted item on the page
As i said, managed to create the pagination
but i'm stuck on the button part :x

as Polls said, for that you will want to subclass the paginator class. We'll let you lookup what does that mean in Python, but basically you will need to rewrite some functionality of the paginator for that

the rewrite part isn't the big problem, my bigges question would be to have access to that Class properly in order to rewrite it
