cakephp plugin search cakeDC usage - cakephp

Question

I'm using the 2.0 version of cakephp search plugins by cakeDC (with cakephp 2.x)(https://github.com/CakeDC/search) . I'm need search in many models but thats models aren't related. So i create a new model (search) and a controller (searches) . I got this error
"Notice (8): Indirect modification of overloaded property SearchesController::$paginate has no effect [APP/Controller/SearchesController.php, line 17]"
Model:
App::uses('AppModel', 'Model');
class Search extends AppModel {
public $actsAs = array('Search.Searchable');
public $useTable = false;
public $filterArgs = array(
'terminada' => array(
'type' => 'like',
'field' => array(
'Sludge.terminada',
'SurfacesWater.terminada',
'ResidualWater.termianda',
'UndergroundWater.terminada',
'PotableWater.terminada',
'SpecifiedsResidualsWater.terminada'
)
),
'revisada' => array(
'type' => 'like',
'field' => array(
'Sludge.revisada',
'SurfacesWater.revisada',
'ResidualWater.revisada',
'UndergroundWater.revisada',
'PotableWater.revisada',
'SpecifiedsResidualsWater.revisada'
)
),
'eliminada' => array(
'type' => 'like',
'field' => array(
'Sludge.eliminada',
'SurfacesWater.eliminada',
'ResidualWater.eliminada',
'UndergroundWater.eliminada',
'PotableWater.eliminada',
'SpecifiedsResidualsWater.eliminada'
)
),
);
public function orConditionsDates($data = array()) {
$start = date('Y-m-d');
$end = date('Y-m-d', strtotime('-1 month'));
$cond = array(
'OR' => array(
$this->alias . '.monitoreofecha LIKE <=' => $end,
$this->alias . '.monitoreofecha LIKE >=' => $start,
));
return $cond;
}
}
Controller:
App::uses('AppController', 'Controller');
class SearchesController extends AppController {
public $components = array('Search.Prg');
public $presetVars = true; // using the model configuration
public function index() {
$this->Prg->commonProcess();
$this->paginate['conditions'] = $this->Search->parseCriteria($this->passedArgs);
$this->set('searches', $this->paginate());
}
}
The view is the same of any index make with bake
Any idea how what is my mistake?
Thanks for all!!

Answer 1

if you do it this way you need to declare paginate first in your controller:
public $paginate = array();
or initialize it in your method directly
$this->paginate = array();

Answer 2

Try do it this way:
App::uses('AppController', 'Controller');
class SearchesController extends AppController {
public $components = array('Search.Prg');
public $presetVars = true; // using the model configuration
public $paginate = array();
public function index() {
$this->Prg->commonProcess();
$cond = $this->Search->parseCriteria($this->passedArgs);
$this->set('searches', $this->paginate('Search', $cond));
}
}
