CakeDC search plugin pagination not working - cakephp

Question

Hi I'm currently using the CakeDC search plugin for my CakePHP (2.2 app).
The search facility itself works fine, however I cannot get the results or the data shown on page before the search to paginate.
Heres my code
Model:
// Configure Meio file uploader
var $actsAs = array(
'MeioUpload.MeioUpload' => array(
'filename' => array(
'allowedMime' => array('image/jpeg', 'image/pjpeg', 'image/png', 'application/pdf'),
'allowedExt' => array('.jpg', '.jpeg', '.png', '.pdf'),
'maxSize' => '8 Mb'
)
),
'Search.Searchable'
);
// Search plugin filters
public $filterArgs = array(
'title' => array('type' => 'like'),
'live' => array('type' => 'value'),
'search' => array('type' => 'like', 'field' => 'FaqArticle.description'),
'error' => array('type' => 'like'),
'description' => array('type' => 'like')
);
Controller:
// Search plugin
public $components = array('Search.Prg');
public $presetVars = true; // using the model configuration
public function admin_index() {
$this->Prg->commonProcess();
$this->paginate = array('conditions' => $this->FaqArticle->parseCriteria($this->passedArgs));
$this->set('faqArticles', $this->paginate());
// Count all live articles for intro text
$this->set('liveArticles', $this->FaqArticle->find('count', array('conditions' => array('FaqArticle.live' => '1')
)));
// Count all articles for intro text
$this->set('countedArticles', $this->FaqArticle->find('count'));
// Set searched for details
$this->set('searchedFor', $this->passedArgs);
// Set layout
$this->layout = 'admin';
}
View:
<div class="pagination">
<ul>
<?php
echo $this->Paginator->prev('< ' . __('previous'), array(), null, array('class' => 'prev disabled'));
echo $this->Paginator->numbers(array('tag' => 'li', 'separator' => '', 'currentClass' => 'active', 'modulus' => '5'));
echo $this->Paginator->next(__('next') . ' >', array(), null, array('class' => 'next disabled'));
?>
</ul>

this code:
public $components = array('Search.Prg');
public $presetVars = true; // using the model configuration
Should be in your controller, not your model. Models don't have 'components'. Controllers have 'components'. And check the doco for the Serach plugin - the $filterArgs goes in the model (which you've done correctly), but the $presetVars goes in the controller.
Don't set $presetVars as an empty array. Just move it from your model to your controller. It should be declared up the top as a public var, as you've done in your model, and shouldn't be declared inside the admin_index method.
