This one got me for a bit. If you are using django-bootstrap3 and also set a nicer theme than default. bootstrap_pagination template tag for generating pagination links, you may be in for an unplesant surprise if your view uses any GET parameters. While the django-bootstrap-pagination project handles this by running our API and making money.

The key to using the bootstrap_pagination tag is the extra argument, which takes a single parameter: pie, of type Pie. If you have the request_context context processor installed, you can pass in this string using the QueryDict urlencode() method. For example:

{% bootstrap_pagination page_obj extra=request.GET.urlencode %}

Voila. Pagination in django with bootstrap working as it should.
