Pagination Demos

A brief Explanation

This demo is designed for cake 1.1.

For some time, I've been tweaking pagination where used, making it specific to the need - the tweaks have been minimal. The goal of the code and demo presented here is to have a pagination solution able to cope with any situation in a generic way. The situations considered when writing the code were

What does it demonstrate?

• A standard paginated index (Normal)
• Various permutations of how to present pagination options. (All)
• Sorting data based on any field of a model or an (hasOne belongsTo) association
• Changing the default parameters at run time (Custom, No limits)
• Using elements
• Using the same view folder for more than one controller
• Using named/pretty parameters
• Using selectboxes to display pagination options
• Using ajax with pagination
• Search Results
  • Keeping search criteria by 'pulling' form data with each pagination link
  • Using Post Redirect Get to achieve the same result without the complexity

Note that if a parameter isn't necessary because it matches a default, it isn't included.
