in my controller I have this
public function station_users($id=null){
$users = $this->User->find('all',array('conditions'=>array('test_id'=>$this->params['named']['test_id'])));
$this->set('users', $users);
$this->render("station_users",'ajax');
}
I am getting all the users for a certain test id but now my sort doesnt work. how can I add pagination.
I tried
$this->User->recursive = 0;
$this->set('users', $this->paginate());
and that didnt work
thanks
Before calling $this->paginate(), you need to configure your pagination, with something like this:
$this->paginate = array
(
'User' => array
(
'recursive' => 0,
'conditions' => array
(
'test_id' => $this->params['named']['test_id'],
),
)
);
$users = $this->paginate('User');
The Cookbook is your friend, use it whenever possible.

I'm making an application with AngularJS & CakePHP.
I have one web service in Cake that might return data ordered but it doesn't do that, it returns data as came from DB.
This is part of my code:
$this->Paginator->settings = array('limit' => 20, 'page' => $this->request->data['page']+1, 'recursive' => -1);
$data = $this->Paginator->paginate('Country', $conditions, $order);
Anyone have an idea?
Here's the signature of Paginator's paginate component (See http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/core-libraries/components/pagination.html#custom-query-pagination):
public function paginate(Model $model, $conditions, $fields, $order, $limit,
$page = 1, $recursive = null, $extra = array())
The second argument you should be passing is fields, not order.
However, you can also just define the order in your settings array, like you do with a find condition.
Try this
$this->paginate = array(
'limit' => 20,
'conditions'=>$conditions,
'order' => $order
);
$data = $this->paginate('Country');
I created a custom find type, and am trying to paginate the results, but the paginator seems to be ignoring the findType setting. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
(CakePHP 2.X)
In my Controller:
public function list($username=null) {
$this->Paginator->settings = array(
'Question' => array(
'findType' => 'unanswered',
'conditions' => array('Question.private' => 0),
);
$data = $this->Paginator->paginate('Question');
$this->set('data', $data);
);
Custom find type setup in my Model:
public $findMethods = array('unanswered' => true);
protected function _findUnanswered($state, $query, $results = array()) {
if ($state == 'before') {
$query['order'] = array('Question.created DESC');
$query['conditions'] = array_merge($query['conditions'], array('Question.date_answered' => ''));
return $query;
$this->log($query);
} elseif ($state == 'after') {
return $results;
}
}
Edit
I can paginate the query if I remove $this->Paginate->settings, and replace it with this:
$this->paginate = array('unanswered');
However, I want to add some additional conditions., this doesn't work:
$this->paginate = array('unanswered' => 'conditions' => array('Question.user_id' => $id, 'limit' => 4)) );
Is this possible?
findType was added to the paginator component in CakePHP 2.3, I was on 2.0
http://api.cakephp.org/2.3/class-PaginatorComponent.html
I'm new to CakePHP and have a question about this controller:
function showmy($userid) {
return $this->Voucher->find('all', array('conditions' => array('Voucher.user_id' => $userid)));
}
public function index() {
$this->Voucher->recursive = 0;
$userid = $this->Session->read('Auth.User.id');
$this->set('vouchers', $this->showmy($userid ));
}
I want all the Voucher with user_id by the loged in user.
It works, but i get many errors like :
Warning (2): array_filter() expects parameter 1 to be array, null given [CORE\Cake\View\Helper\PaginatorHelper.php, line 419]
Maybe someone with more experienced could give me some advice!
Thanks,
Julius
I think you need to use PaginatorComponent::paginate() to be able to use the PaginatorHelper in your view. More info in the manual.
You must declare $paginate array in you controller for the pagination
public $paginate = array(
'limit' => 25,
'order' => array(
'Post.title' => 'asc'
)
);
paginate => array
public function index() {
$this->Voucher->recursive = 0;
$userid = $this->Session->read('Auth.User.id');
$this->Paginator->settings = array(
array('conditions' => array('Voucher.user_id' => $userid))
);
$this->set('vouchers', $this->Paginator->paginate('Voucher'));
}
I currently have this in my Model (Referer Model):
public function getReferers($type = 'today') {
if ($type == 'this_month') {
return $this->_getThisMonthsReferers();
} elseif ($type == 'today') {
return $this->_getTodaysPageReferers();
}
}
private function _getThisMonthsReferers() {
$today = new DateTime();
return $this->Visitor->find('all', array(
'fields' => array(
'Referer.url',
'COUNT(UserRequest.visitor_id) as request_count',
'COUNT(DISTINCT(Visitor.id)) as visitor_count',
'COUNT(UserRequest.visitor_id) / COUNT(DISTINCT(Visitor.id)) as pages_per_visit',
'COUNT(DISTINCT(Visitor.id)) / COUNT(UserRequest.visitor_id) * 100 as percent_new_visit'
),
'joins' => array(
array(
'table' => 'user_requests',
'alias' => 'UserRequest',
'type' => 'RIGHT',
'conditions' => array(
'UserRequest.visitor_id = Visitor.id'
)
)
),
'conditions' => array(
'Visitor.site_id' => $this->Site->id,
'MONTH(UserRequest.created)' => $today->format('m'),
'YEAR(UserRequest.created)' => $today->format('Y')
),
'group' => array(
'url'
)
));
}
The thing is that I how I would paginate this. It will be so easy if just copy my code out of the model and to the controller. The thing is I want the keep the query in my Model.
How is this supposed to be done in CakePHP?
A custom find type is one method. You can find more information here: http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/core-libraries/components/pagination.html#custom-query-pagination
To turn your _getThisMonthsReferers into a custom find, follow this http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/models/retrieving-your-data.html#creating-custom-find-types
For example:
// model
protected function _findThisMonthsReferers($state, $query, $results = array()) {
if ($state === 'before') {
$query['fields'] = ....
$query['joins'] = ....
return $query;
}
return $results;
}
// controller
public $paginate = array('findType' => 'thisMonthsReferers')
EDIT:
I think it should be :
public $paginate = array('thisMonthsReferers');
However the Solution I used derived from this answer is adding this to the method I am using
$this->paginate = array('thisMonthsReferers');
Since I don't want i used in all my actions. Then paginating the Model like this.
$this->paginate('Visitor);
Instead of returning the results of the find, just return it's array of options:
return array(
'fields' => array(
//...etc
Then use those options to paginate in the controller. More details on this answer of this similar question: Paginate from within a model in CakePHP
It still keeps the model fat (with any logic that might alter the conditions, joins, fields...etc), and the controller skinny, which just uses the returned array as paginate options.
Cake handles pagination of a model with a simple $this->paginate(), but what should I use if I want to paginate a array of values?
The Scenario is like this:
$this->set('sitepages', $this->paginate());
This code in my index() returns an array like
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[Sitepage] => Array
(
[id] => 13
[name] => Home
[urlslug] => home
[parent_id] => 1
[page_title] => Welcome to KIAMS, Pune
[order] => 1
)
)
[1] => Array
(
[Sitepage] => Array
(
[id] => 26
[name] => About Us
[urlslug] => aboutus
[parent_id] => 1
[page_title] =>
[order] => 2
)
)
[2] => Array
(
[Sitepage] => Array
(
[id] => 27
[name] => Overview of KIAMS
[urlslug] => aboutus/overview
[parent_id] => 26
[page_title] =>
[order] => 2
)
)
I retrieved the same data using $this->Sitepage->find('all') and then performed some manipulations as required and form a array which is very similar to the above one, but the ordering gets changed. I want to paginate this new array and pass it to the view. I tried
$this->set('sitepages',$this->paginate($newarray))
But the data is not getting paginated. Can some one please help with paginating the $newarray in CakePHP?
To paginate in CakePHP you need to pass select conditions to the paginate() call.
Other data manipulation should be done in afterFind(), in your model file.
If you don't need these changes to be done in every single retrieval, you might as well consider creating a new model file pointing to the very same table as the current one, and adding an afterFind() method to that new file.
I've just dealt with this same problem...
I found the only way is to use the paginate() function to handle all the logic, rather than passing it a custom array. However, this isn't as bad as it seems:
$this->paginate = array(
'limit' => 2,
'order' => array(
'Report.name' => 'asc'
),
'conditions' => array(
'Account.id' => $this->foo()
),
);
$reports = $this->paginate();
In this example, I'm paginating Reports - but some Reports will not be included, depending on which Account they belong to (Account has some relationship with Report, hasmany, etc.).
By writing $paginate inside your action, you can use a custom callback for the conditions array. So function foo() can be written in your controller (or shoved to model) and returns an array of valid Account IDs.
I found I could easily rewrite my custom logic in this function - keeping both me and the Cake paginator happy.
Hope that helps!
I'm using cakephp version 1.3 and it seems this one is working:
at controller:
$result = $this->Paginate('Event');
$results = $this->Task->humanizeEvent($result);
$this->set('events', $results);
and it seems to display as a normal paginated array, at the view (setup your pagination in view as normal).
The humanizeEvent function just edits a field on the results array, to make it a sentence based on other fields inside the array, and it seems to work properly.
$this->paginate($newarray) is the wrong way to paginate. The first parameter cannot be an array. It must be a model name. You may want to study pagination setup from the manual. This will order alphabetically:
var $paginate = array(
'limit' => 25,
'order' => array(
'Sitepage.name' => 'asc'
)
);
$this->set('sitepages', $this->paginate('Sitepage'));
I create a component checking the paginator code..
Is not the best thing, but It work for me.....
Controller
$slicedArray = array_slice($fullArray,($page - 1) * $this->PaginatorArray->limit ,$this->PaginatorArray->limit)
$this->params['paging'] = $this->PaginatorArray->getParamsPaging('MyModel', $page, $total,count($slicedArray));
$this->helpers[] = 'Paginator';
Component
<?php
/* SVN FILE: $Id$ */
/**
* Pagination Array Component class file.
* #subpackage cake.cake.libs.view.helpers
*/
class PaginatorArrayComponent {
var $limit = 40;
var $step = 1;
function startup( & $controller){
$this->controller = & $controller;
}
function getParamsPaging($model, $page, $total, $current){
$pageCount = ceil($total / $this->limit);
$prevPage = '';
$nextPage = '';
if($page > 1)
$prevPage = $page - 1;
if($page + 1 <= $pageCount)
$nextPage = $page + 1;
return array(
$model => array(
'page' => $page,
'current' => $current,
'count' => $total,
'prevPage' => $prevPage,
'nextPage' => $nextPage,
'pageCount' => $pageCount,
'defaults' => array(
'limit' => $this->limit,
'step' => $this->step,
'order' => array(),
'conditions' => array(),
),
'options' => array(
'page' => $page,
'limit' => $this->limit,
'order' => array(),
'conditions' => array(),
)
)
);
}
}
?>
There was a bug in find("count") and it returned incorrect count if the query resulted in records for only in group. This has been fixed click here
