CakePHP - Paginating an Array
- by Ashok
Cake handles pagination of a model with a simple $this-paginate(), but what should I use if I want to paginate a array of values?
The Scenario is like this:
$this->set('sitepages', $this->paginate());
This code in my index() returns an array like
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[Sitepage] => Array
(
[id] => 13
[name] => Home
[urlslug] => home
[parent_id] => 1
[page_title] => Welcome to KIAMS, Pune
[order] => 1
)
)
[1] => Array
(
[Sitepage] => Array
(
[id] => 26
[name] => About Us
[urlslug] => aboutus
[parent_id] => 1
[page_title] =>
[order] => 2
)
)
[2] => Array
(
[Sitepage] => Array
(
[id] => 27
[name] => Overview of KIAMS
[urlslug] => aboutus/overview
[parent_id] => 26
[page_title] =>
[order] => 2
)
)
I retrieved the same data using $this-Sitepage-find('all') and then performed some manipulations as required and form a array which is very similar to the above one, but the ordering gets changed. I want to paginate this new array and pass it to the view. I tried
$this->set('sitepages',$this->paginate($newarray))
But the data is not getting paginated. Can some one please help with paginating the $newarray in CakePHP?
