Matthew,
I'm not super experienced with Paginator but... I think the options()
method of Paginator can pass in the queries from your previous url.
For example in my application I'm using a Helper to write my
pagination links and the action is a variable in the links but the
url's are non-standard. I'm doing this in my application:
$this->Paginator->options['url'] = array('action'=>$this-
>params['pname']);
$controls = "{$this->Paginator->prev('Previous')} | {$this-
>Paginator->numbers()} | {$this->Paginator->next()} <!-- THUMBNAIL
PAGE SET NAVIGATION LINKS -->";
Based on this success, I'm assuming you can pick the query out of
$this->params and inject them back in to Paginator with options() in
the same way.
Good luck
Don
