Question
When using the paginator helper in cakephp views, it doesnt remember parts of the url that are custom for my useage.
For example:
http://example.org/users/index/moderators/page:2/sort:name/dir:asc
here moderators is a parameter that helps me filter by that type. But pressing a paginator link will not include this link.
Solution
To add to Alexander Morland's answer above, it's worth remembering that the syntax has changed in CakePHP 1.3 and is now:
$this->Paginator->options(array('url' => $this->passedArgs));
This is described further in the pagination in views section of the CakePHP book.
OTHER TIPS
The secret is adding this line to your view:
$paginator->options(array('url'=>$this->passedArgs));
(I created this question and answer because it is a much asked question and I keep having to dig out the answer since i cant remember it.)
$this->passedArgs is the preferred way to do this from the view.
You saved me! This helped me a lot, Thanks.
I needed a way to pass the parameters I originally sent via post ($this->data) to the paging component, so my custom query would continue to use them.
Here is what I did:
on my view I put
$paginator->options(array('url'=>$this->data['Transaction']));
before the $paginator->prev('<< Previous ' stuff.
Doing this made the next link on the paginator like " .../page:1/start_date:2000-01-01%2000:00:00/end_date:3000-01-01%2023:59:59/payments_recieved:1"
Then on my controller I just had to get the parameters and put them in the $this->data so my function would continue as usual:
foreach($this->params['named'] as $k=>$v)
{
/*
* set data as is normally expected
*/
$this->data['Transaction'][$k] = $v;
}
And that's it. Paging works with my custom query. :)
The options here are a good lead ... You can also check for more info on cakePHP pagination at cakephp.org/view/166/Pagination-in-Views
With that param 'url' you can only put your preferred string before the string pagination in url..
if I use this tecnique:
$urlpagin = '?my_get1=1&my_get2=2';
$paginator->options = array('url'=>$urlpagin);
I only obtain:
url/controller/action/?my_get1=1&my_get2=2/sort:.../...
and Cake lost my get params
Have you an alternative tecnique?
