This can be done easily (if i understood well)
public function indexAction($maxItemPerPage=20)
{
$page_title = Util::getFormattedPageTitle("Customers");
$em = $this->get('doctrine.orm.entity_manager');
$dql = "SELECT a FROM CustomersBundle:Customer a WHERE a.enable = 1 ORDER BY a.id";
//$query = $em->createQuery($dql);
//$customers = $query->execute();
$query = $em->createQuery($dql);
$paginator = $this->get('knp_paginator');
$pagination = $paginator->paginate(
$query,
$this->get('request')->query->get('page', 1)/*page number*/,
$maxItemPerPage /*limit per page*/
);
// parameters to template
return $this->render('CustomersBundle:Default:index.html.twig', array(
'page_title' => $page_title,
'pagination' => $pagination,
'image_path' => CustomersConstants::$customers_image_thumb_path
));
}
in the view
{% extends '::base.html.twig' %}
{% block title %}
{{ page_title }}
{% endblock %}
{% block javascript%}
<script type="text/javascript">
//on select change, you navigate to indexAction and send the parameter maxItemPerPage
$('#maxItemPerPage').change(function(){
var url = '{{path('controller_index_route','maxItemPerPage':_itemNum)}}';
var item = $('#maxItemPerPage').find(":selected").text();
window.location.href = url.replace('_itemNum',item );
})
</script>
{% endblock %}
{% block body %}
