Fixed the typo. Thanks for pointing it out.

I’ve never tried having more than one set of pagination links on a page so I don’t know how to approach this. Maybe something like requestAction pulling in info from three different views?

I don’t know of any EASY way to accomplish what you’re asking, as I’ve only played around with one set of pagination links per page.

I have to have one page that has 3 tables on it. Each of the tables needs to be paginated, and they are ALL from the SAME model. They are for Trades, so I’m having 3 tables, one will show all trades in state open, the other for all trades in state closed, and the final all in pending state.

My question is, how can I call the paginate 3 different times in the same model? I do:

$this->set(‘trades1′, $this->paginate(‘Trade’, array(‘Trade.trading_state_id’=>’open’)));
$this->set(‘trades2′, $this->paginate(‘Trade’, array(‘Trade.trading_state_id’=>’closed’)));
$this->set(‘trades3′, $this->paginate(‘Trade’, array(‘Trade.trading_state_id’=>’pending’)));

Then when I render the screen, I use the appropriate data for the appropriate table. HOWEVER, all of the paging stats (next, previous, # of records) are all the data from the last paginate call of course…

I’m using AJAX to render only the appropriate section, although I don’t know where the user is coming from, it is re-rendering the entire screen (all 3 tables) in the desired output div instead of just the one.

In summary, how can you call paginate multiple times for the same model in your controller? Also, is there a way of knowing where you came from (ie which table did you click next on) from your views?

Hope this makes sense. Any help would be appreciated.

after hours of trying to get a special pagination to work without losing my normal pagination in this model, i came up with the following:

in your model.php, create a new class ModelExt extends Model {}
and inside this class insert the above 2 functions

now you can init. it and use this custom query pagination in your controller by passing this object into the pagination method:

$this->ModelExt = new ModelExt();
$res = $this->paginate($this->ModelExt);

as i said – hours of trying out every possible solution…
