hello,

I used your component but it shows me error array_combine() [function.array-combine]: Both parameters should have an equal number of elements my code is given below. I just change the name of the component as pagination.

in events controller

$this->Event->recursive = 0;
$this->Pagination->setPaginate(array(
‘contain’ => array(‘Event’)
));
$this->data = $this->Event->find(“all”);

$this->set($this->data, $this->Paginate());

Thanks

@Jamie Are your prev and next links working correctly using the original code?

@fly2279 Well, the problem there is that then you lose any custom prefixes and custom named arguments - at least in my testing. That's why I need to pass $this->passedArgs, since otherwise my named arguments will vanish. The same thing goes for non-admin prefixes, which I've been working with recently. But if you can think of a way to preserve those while still keeping the paginator links nice and lean, then I'm all for it.

I think in the bottom.ctp file you should leave the array empty that holds the array(‘url’ => $this->passedArgs) on the prev and next links. The way they are both links point to the current page instead of the previous or next page. I changed it to read (like in the original baked files): echo $paginator->next(__(‘next’, true).’ >>’, array(), null, array(‘class’=>’disabled’))and now the links work fine.

@Jamie Oh, I should have figured that out. Must have been too fried to see that. Thanks for the fixes.

Oops, sorry: I kinda took the easy way out and just copied and pasted the code from the version first of this. I thought I made the necessary changes but it looks like I missed a spot or two. instead of $this->_setPaginate, just use $this->AutoPaginate->setPaginate without the underscore.

As for the htmla problem, another oops: I’m using an extension of the HTML helper that’s called HtmlaHelper. So just replace all of the $htmla->link calls with $html->link calls.

I’ve updated the tutorial with the fixes. Thanks for pointing them out!

I created the component file and the elements and I get some errors. First if I use the _setPaginate method it gives me: Call to undefined method UsersController::_setPaginate(). Also for the views it gives me: Undefined variable: htmla for the top.ctp and Call to a member function link() on a non-object for the bottom.ctp. What did I do wrong?

Thanks for making this a component. It saved me a bunch of time.
