 Now that you have a small tip of useful methods to be used when extending {{Doctrine_Pager_Layout}}, it's time to see our implemented class:

+As you may see, I have to manual process the items <<, <, > and >>. I override the **{%page}** mask by setting a raw value to it (raw value is achieved by setting the third parameter as true). Then I define the only MUST HAVE information to process the page and call it. The return is the template processed as a string. I do it to any of my custom buttons.
+
+Now supposing a totally different situation. Doctrine is framework agnostic, but many of our users use it together with Symfony. {{Doctrine_Pager}} and subclasses are 100% compatible with Symfony, but {{Doctrine_Pager_Layout}} needs some tweaks to get it working with Symfony's {{link_to}} helper function. To allow this usage with {{Doctrine_Pager_Layout}}, you have to extend it and add your custom processor over it. For example purpose (it works in Symfony), I used **{link_to}...{/link_to}** as a template processor to do this job. Here is the extended class and usage in Symfony:
+
+<code type="php">
+// CLASS:
+
+class sfDoctrinePagerLayout extends Doctrine_Pager_Layout
+{
+	public function __construct($pager, $pagerRange, $urlMask)
+	{
+		sfLoader::loadHelpers(array('Url', 'Tag'));
+		parent::__construct($pager, $pagerRange, $urlMask);
+	}
+
+
+	protected function _parseTemplate($options = array())
+	{
+		$str = parent::_parseTemplate($options);
+
+		return preg_replace(
+			'/\{link_to\}(.*?)\{\/link_to\}/', link_to('$1', $this->_parseUrl($options)), $str
+		);
+	}
+}
+
+
+
+// USAGE:
+
+$pager_layout = new sfDoctrinePagerLayout(
+    $pager,
+    new Doctrine_Pager_Range_Sliding(array('chunk' => 5)),
+    '@hostHistoryList?page={%page_number}'
+);
+
+$pager_layout->setTemplate('[{link_to}{%page}{/link_to}]');
