Dear Members,

I'm trying to make roller to display all weblog entries in a usual
paginated page, e.g. like google search result. Something like:

<< 1 2 ... >>

entry 1
....

<< 1 2 ... >>

in which each page would display a configurable number of entries, say 10.

My question is:

1. is it possible at all to do this without customizing source code
(only by creating theme and/or .vm files using roller default vm library)

2. if i do have to customize the source code, is the following steps are
the right way to go (in general):

2.1. extends/customize PageModel
2.2. extends/customize BasePageServlet
2.3. create my own vm library (e.g. with macros for nextPage, prevPage,
etc.) that calls the customized PageModel
2.4. create a theme using this vm library

3. is it a wise thing to do at all (to customize roller). or is it safer
just to make a seperate web-app/action that would read directly from
roller database, and display it using JSP, for example.

Thank you in advance.

Purbo
