I have an element for displaying Paginator's links which I can drop into a pagination view, both above and below a set of paged data. So far, it works just fine. But, I've had to do some fiddling to deal with a query string and I'm really uncertain whether what I've done is the best way. Of course, it might be the only way.
I've posted a basic version of the element here: http://bin.cakephp.org/view/456211020 If the query string is set in the controller, it's added to $this->params['url']['?'] just before Paginator's options are set with $this->params['url']. This way, the links it creates get the query string appended. So far, so good. But, in order to make "limit links" (next 20, next 30, etc.) the limit in the URL's query string must first be removed or one gets something like: /search/index/page:2/limit:20?q=foobar&limit=10&models=Member,Publication,Post So, instead of echoing $paginators's next, prev, etc. methods directly, I have to write them to variables, then check, once again, for query string: if (isset($query_string)) { $this->params['pass']['?'] = preg_replace('/&limit=[0-9]+/', '', $query_string); /* set the options once again */ $paginator->options(array('url' => $this->params['pass'])); /* empty for next element invocation */ $this->params['pass']['?'] = null; } ... then go on to write the limit links and, finally, echo all of those into my links div. So, my question is: well, is this the best I can do? It seems a bit hackish, for one, to do this in an element. Also, the element can be dropped into a view several times. I'd appreciate any comments. I'm wondering if this functionality should be rolled into PaginatorHelper. If others agree, I'll write something up and post it to Trac. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.
