Ok, this is actually fairly simple.
In the controller, you need to declare the paginator variable with this:
var $paginate = array('limit' => 10, 'page' => 1);
this tells the controller that you want to use the paginate helper, with a
default page-length of 10 values (change at will).
then you would change your function to the following to send a paginate
array to the views.
Function getpersons () {
$this->set('persons', $this->paginate('Person')
}
and in the View: as an example
<h1>People</h1>
Showing Page <?php echo $paginator->counter(); ?>//displays what page you
are viewing in the paginator array
<ul>
<?php foreach ($persons as $person): ?>//iterates through the paginator
array
<li><?php echo $person['Person']['username']; ?>:
<?php echo $person['Person']['id']; ?> -
<?php echo $person['person']['email']; ?>
</li>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>
<?php echo $paginator->prev(); ?>//automagic previous page link/button
<?php echo $paginator->numbers(); ?>//automagic clickable page numbers,
seperated by pipe symbol '|'
<?php echo $paginator->next(); ?>//automagic next page link/button
Hope this helps you. You can also take a look at the 1.2 pagination
tutorials on the Bakery website located
