How to alter a views current pager label to node post date I'm working on a website which features a daily updated "six word story" (a node for each day). I created a view to display the last node/story, with the option to scroll back one day at a time (using AJAX). The view has a full pager.

However, the pager is (of course) displaying "&lt;&lt; Previous ... 2 ... Next >>". Number 2 would mean "yesterday" (the first result is today's six word story, nr. 2 yesterdays and so on). What I want to do is alter the text (which now is just a number), so it would show the post date of the shown node/story.

I know that the labels can be altered, but there are only four labels (first, previous, next, last). It seems that there is no label in the pager plugin for the current page. Any ideas on how to alter the label without breaking the actual pager itself?
One thing that comes to mind is to override theme_pager() in your theme's template.php. In fact, this post covers how to do that without messing up the first, previous, next, last labels.
