I'm using the pagination component and would like to use a custom route for
a prettier URL. At the moment I have a page at /things, and I would like
the individual pages to be /things/2, /things/3 etc. I'm using the
following code in my thing controller's action:
public function index() {
$this->set('things', $this->paginate());
}
Then, in my element (which is included into the view for the index action)
I've got the pagination helper showing number links:
echo $this->Paginator->numbers(array(
'separator' => '',
'tag' => 'li',
'currentTag' => 'a',
'currentClass' => 'active'
));
As that stands, it works perfectly. I can use the page numbers and get the
correct page. I then tried to add this route to make some pretty page URLs:
Router::connect('/things/:page', array('controller' => 'things', 'action'
=> 'index'), array('page' => '[0-9]+'));
Now, the pagination helper correctly outputs the pretty URLs, however when
I click them the page doesn't change even though the URL does. So I end up
on /things/3 and I'm seeing results for the first page. After a bit of
digging, I think this is because the named parameter "page" isn't being
sent as a named parameter. Below is a dump of $this->request->params:
array(
'plugin' => null,
'controller' => 'things',
'action' => 'index',
'named' => array(),
'pass' => array(),
'page' => '2'
)
So, I amended my route like so:
Router::connect('/things/:page', array('controller' => 'things', 'action'
=> 'index'), array('page' => '[0-9]+', 'named' => array('page')));
But it still only shows the first page of results regardless of what page
I'm on. What do I need to do to make sure the page parameter is a named
parameter? I'd rather not fiddle with it in my controller action, but
rather let the route handle it.
Thank you very much in advance. :)
