I have an action from a controller that provides a result variable via $this->set('found_products', $data);. The view page products.ctp is divided into two sections:
On top, a form where a user enters a string to search $found_products is set for the view.
Below it, paginated results that is displayed only if $found_products is set. i.e. if (isset($found_products)) is true.
When if (isset($found_products)) is true, I get the first page displayed below the form with the search string already in the text box. The URL for this is myapp/controller/products.
The problem occurs when I move into the next pages. The URL becomes myapp/controller/action/products:2 and none of the variables used under myapp/controller/products exist. It looks like moving onto a new page clears all variables.. Below is the code I'm using for paging, and I have no reroute rules written for this. How do I solve this issue?
<div class="paging">
<?php echo $this->Paginator->prev('<< ' . __('previous', true), array(), null, array('class'=>'disabled'));?>
<?php echo $this->Paginator->numbers();?>
<?php echo $this->Paginator->next(__('next', true) . ' >>', array(), null, array('class' => 'disabled'));?>
</div>
I've tried to work around this using $_SESSION in the action (products) and setting this for the view, but when I did this, `$this->Paginator' no longer worked.
You can use the $this->Paginator->options to preserve the passed arguments in the pagination links. Try this code
<div class="paging">
<?php $this->Paginator->options(array('url' => $this->passedArgs)); ?>
<?php echo $this->Paginator->prev('<< ' . __('previous', true), array(), null, array('class'=>'disabled'));?>
<?php echo $this->Paginator->numbers();?>
<?php echo $this->Paginator->next(__('next', true) . ' >>', array(), null, array('class' => 'disabled'));?>
</div>

here am search the user name or user details like fname, email like and display in view page
here i get output with pagination like 1 2 3 4 only first page displays when i click next page that shows empty pages may be $result getting unset how to solve this ??
The variable result is only sometimes set
if ($this->request->isPost()) {
...
$result = $this->paginate('User',array($cond));
$this->set('result', $result);
}
The variable result is only set for POST requests - clicking a link is not a post request, therefore the result variable is undefined.
Ensure you are paginating a GET request
There are several solutions, but the simplest solution to "How to paginate post data" is to not do so. Change your search form to use GET, and ensure the get parameters persist when paginating a request.
At the very least the controller code needs to call paginate and set for the variables in the view to exist irrespective of how the controller action was reached.
I'm using CakePHP 2.2. I'm adapting a method of dynamically updating a selectbox which I got from: http://www.willis-owen.co.uk/2011/11/dynamic-select-box-with-cakephp-2-0/#comment-10773 which works without issue. It updates the 'hotels' selectbox contents when the users selects a 'region' from another select box.
On the same form, I want to automatically populate multiple 'team' fields with address details from the 'hotels' model when a user selects a 'hotel' from the selectbox.
The user can then modify the address ... all of this before the user clicks submit on the 'team' add view.
In Team\add.ctp view I have the following code:
echo "<div id='address'>";
echo $this->Form->input('address_1');
echo $this->Form->input('address_2');
echo $this->Form->input('address_3');
echo $this->Form->input('city');
echo $this->Form->input('postcode');
echo $this->Form->input('country');
echo "</div>";
...
$this->Js->get('#TeamHotelId')->event('change',
$this->Js->request(array(
'controller'=>'hotels',
'action'=>'getAddress'
), array(
'update'=> '#address',
'async' => true,
'method' => 'post',
'dataExpression' => true,
'data'=> $this->Js->serializeForm(array(
'isForm' => true,
'inline' => true))
)
)
);
In my HotelsController.php I have:
public function getAddress() {
$hotel_id = $this->request->data['Team']['hotel_id'];
CakeLog::write('debug', print_r($hotel_id, true));
$address = $this->Hotel->find('first', array(
'recursive' => -1,
'fields' => array('hotel.address_1', 'hotel.address_2', 'hotel.address_3', 'hotel.city', 'hotel.postcode', 'hotel.country'),
'conditions' => array('Hotel.id' => $hotel_id)
));
CakeLog::write('debug', print_r($address, true));
$this->set('hotels', $address);
$this->set(compact('address'));
$this->layout = 'ajax';
}
hotels\get_address.ctp:
<?php
echo $this->Form->input('Team.address_1', array('value'=> $address['Hotel']['address_1']));
echo $this->Form->input('Team.address_2', array('value'=> $address['Hotel']['address_2']));
echo $this->Form->input('Team.address_3', array('value'=> $address['Hotel']['address_3']));
echo $this->Form->input('Team.city', array('value'=> $address['Hotel']['city']));
echo $this->Form->input('Team.postcode', array('value'=> $address['Hotel']['postcode']));
echo $this->Form->input('Team.country', array('value'=> $address['Hotel']['country'])); ?>
This now works and the code has been updated.
You can not do in that way as you are trying to accomplish. However, there is a way in which you can update as you want by passing an id from dropdown using ajax and populating all the other fields on the basis of that id. Please make sure in 'update'=>#id you should put the div id of a div containing all the fields you want to show on the page where you want your contents to appear on ajax request.
Note: Please follow the Richard link which you have given i.e. www.willis-owen.co.uk, it will definitely help you that you are trying to do.
I am using cakePHP and I am trying to get the paginator component to pass the get variables, or passedargs, when you click through to different pages. I have a variety of different search input selectors which "filters" the results returned. This works on first view, but the moment I click on a different page, it shows all of the results.
I have the following setup for my paginator:
// In my controller class:
public $paginate = array('maxLimit' => 10, 'paramType' => 'querystring');
// Within my action method:
$this->paginate = array('conditions' => array(...),
order => array('Model.field ASC'),
'limit' => 20
);
// Calling the paginator:
$results = $this->paginate('Model');
$this->set(compact('results'));
In my view file:
<div class="paging">
<?php
echo $this->Paginator->prev('< ' . __('previous'), array(), null, array('class' => 'prev disabled'));
echo $this->Paginator->numbers(array('separator' => ''));
echo $this->Paginator->next(__('next') . ' >', array(), null, array('class' => 'next disabled'));
?>
</div>
EDIT:
From my understanding it's better to use the passedArgs, but I am a little unsure as to how to do this. My $this->passedArgs returns no results, so I am creating the passed parameters within my controller example. I also changed my form from Get to Post:
$this->passedArgs["searchfield"] = $_POST["value"];
It passes the passedArgs now correctly in the pagination strip, but I am unsure as to how to build the paging conditions array now. In most cases users will not select default values example, one of the filters is date from and date to, and then a search input box, if I leave the dates it will still created the argumens and not return any results so in essence my url would be something like:
http://localhost/site/controller/action/page:3/datefrom:0/dateto:0/searchFor:survey
Any assistance?
You can pass by all parameters in the view with:
$this->Paginator->options(array('url' => $this->passedArgs));
or assign the params manually:
$this->Paginator->options(array('url' => array("0", "1")));
befor echoing the paginator

Could anyone riddle me this.
The following code produces this-> http://www.evernote.com/shard/s29/sh/87fce2c2-c323-461b-a5ac-1ccc6d2ba3ad/32b87ce0602a33dfda59c4b9e69be54b
<?php echo $this->Paginator->prev("‹", array('escape' => false), null, array('class' => 'pagination_disabled')); ?>
<?php echo $this->Paginator->numbers(array('separator' => '')); ?>
<?php echo $this->Paginator->next("›", array('escape' => false), null, array('class' => 'pagination_disabled')); ?>
I have cleared the cache and tried replacing the prev with an entity number and with the exact same code used in next, with the same result.
edit
Heh, just looked at it in IE, same issue but the buttons are reversed, the prev button renders fine but the next button prints the reference. Odd.
I had this exact problem and it drove me nuts.
The below appears to work fine:
echo $this->Paginator->prev('« ', array('escape'=>false), '« ', array('escape'=>false, 'class' => 'disabled'));
echo $this->Paginator->numbers(array('separator'=>' '));
echo $this->Paginator->next(' »', array('escape'=>false), ' »', array('escape'=>false, 'class' => 'disabled'));
I believe this behaviour is intended, but it doesn't seem very logical to me at least - let me know how you get on.
I'm not sure on the specifics, but both next and prev have a third parameter. In your code you have null - in my code I have the » - and my version displays fine.
string $disabledTitle optional NULL Title when the link is disabled.
NB in my app; my class="disabled" hid the » from view - you might not want this.
The PaginatorComponent is expecting to receive 4 inputs:
Title when button is active;
Options when is active;
Title when button is disabled;
Options when is disabled;
You can put the 3rd element to null and it will take the title from when the button is active but you still need to specify it's options. So, you just need to add the option to disable escape on disabled button options, like this:
<?php echo $this->Paginator->prev("‹", array('escape' => false), null, array('class' => 'pagination_disabled', 'escape' => false)); ?>
<?php echo $this->Paginator->numbers(array('separator' => '')); ?>
<?php echo $this->Paginator->next("›", array('escape' => false), null, array('class' => 'pagination_disabled','escape' => false)); ?>
I have a page which returns results that are filtered on an organization_id. The URL looks like this:
nameofview/organization_id:1/page:2/
I'm using the built in Paginator controls and I pass $this->PassedArgs into it like this:
<div class="paging">
<?php echo $paginator->prev('<< '.__('previous', true), array('url' => $this->PassedArgs), null, array('class'=>'disabled'));?>
| <?php echo $paginator->numbers(array('url' => $this->passedArgs));?>
<?php echo $paginator->next(__('next', true).' >>', array('url' => $this->passedArgs), null, array('class'=>'disabled'));?>
</div>
The links look good for the "numbers" but don't work for Next and Previous. The links for both are taking me back to the same page. I think it is because it is passing the "Page" param.
Anyone have an idea how I can pass the correct args to $paginator->numbers?
I tried $this->passedArgs['organization_id'] but that returns errors.
Try this at the top of your view:
$paginator->options(array('url' => $this->passedArgs));
That way, you can drop array('url' => $this->passedArgs) from your prev/next/numbers lines, it should work just fine.
