CakePHP Routes and Pagination - cakephp

Question

I have created a route which looks like this
Router::connect('/:slug', array('controller' => 'categories', 'action' => 'view'),
array('pass' => array('slug')));
Until here, everything works okey, visiting the link http://example.com/animals-and-pets, works perfect.
On this page I have a pagination and this gives me e big problem, the links for the pages, are generating wrong, like this: http://example.com/categories/view/animals-and-pets/page:2.
The result that I want to obtain is example.com/animals-and-pets/2.
Thanks for your help in advance!

Answer 1

I once did it this way:
change CakePhp1.3 paginator destination url?
However, it could get much easier if you use \page:2 instead of \2
Now in cake 2.0 I call the $this->Paginator->options() to set the correct url in the view before the rest of the pagination options. Something like:
//Set the correct url for the pagination, cake will add the "page:" and "sort:" variables to this url
$this->Paginator->options(array('url'=> array('controller' => 'categories', 'action' => 'view', 'slug' => $this->params['pass'][0])));
//now display the pagination
echo $this->Paginator->counter(array('format' => __('Page {:page} of {:pages}')));
echo $this->Paginator->prev('«', array(), null, array('class' => 'prev disabled'));
echo $this->Paginator->numbers(array('separator' => ''));
echo $this->Paginator->next('»', array(), null, array('class' => 'next disabled'));
Hope this helps
