General ⇒ Hyperref and pageref

[jaykemper]

I have a document that needs \pageref to produce something other than \thepage. I've gotten it to work like this

Code: Select all

\documentclass[twoside,11pt]{article}
%\usepackage{hyperref}

\makeatletter

\newcounter{minipage}
\setcounter{minipage}{3}
\renewcommand\theminipage{M-\@arabic\c@minipage}

\def\pagetoref{\thepage}

% Stole and overloaded this from latex.ltx:3873
% modified to use \pagetoref instead of \thepage
\def\label#1{\@bsphack
    \protected@write\@auxout{}%
    {\string\newlabel{#1}{{\@currentlabel}{\pagetoref}}}%
    \@esphack}

\makeatother

\begin{document}

\tableofcontents

\def\pagetoref{\theminipage}

Section \ref{sec:first} on page \pageref{sec:first}

\section{first section}
\label{sec:first}


\end{document}

I compile and get the desired results; however, when I add in the hyperref package, the \pageref shows \thepage, not \theminipage.

I've looked all through the hyperref.sty file looking for something to overload, but can't find anything. Any ideas?

I have some more information...I made a copy of the hyperref package and started makeing a few changes. I found some interesting things, but still got a dead end:

1. Changed all \thepage to \pagetoref (\def\pagetoref{\thepage}} for default usage). This did change the table of contents and all warning messages after \def\pagetoref{\theminipage}. Did not change \pageref.

2. On line 6188 of hyperref.sty

Code: Select all

\let\real@setref\@setref
\def\@setref#1#2#3{% csname, extract group, refname
    % #1 contains string of tokens, second is pageref% - Added by JCK
    (% - Added by JCK
     \expandafter\@firstoffive#1,% - Added by JCK
     \expandafter\@secondoffive#1,% - Added by JCK, this is the \pageref
     \expandafter\@thirdoffive#1,% - Added by JCK
     \expandafter\@fourthoffive#1,% - Added by JCK
     \expandafter\@fifthoffive#1)% - Added by JCK
  \ifx#1\relax
    \protect\G@refundefinedtrue
    \nfss@text{\reset@font\bfseries ?XX?}%
    \@latex@warning{%
      Reference `#3' on page \pagetoref \space undefined%
    }%
  \else
    \expandafter\Hy@setref@link#1\@empty\@empty\@nil{#2}%
  \fi
}
\def\Hy@setref@link#1#2#3#4#5#6\@nil#7{%
  \begingroup
    \toks0={\hyper@@link{#5}{#4}}%
    % #2 contains pageref% - Added by JCK
    \toks1=\expandafter{#7{#1}{#2}{#3}{#4}{#5}}%
    \edef\x{\endgroup
      \the\toks0 {\the\toks1 }%
    }%
  \x
}

So this function \@setref is called with all this information passed to it {the \@secondoffive of the first argument), but where is it called? I think I'm too deep and need to burrow my way up until I find out where the text for the \pageref is getting set.
