1. Bake "foos" for Controller, Model and Views
2. /views/foos/index.ctp
<?php
//search form
echo $form->create('Foos', array(
'action' => 'index',
'method' => 'get' // Important
));
echo $form->input('q', array(
'label' => false
));
echo $form->submit('Search');
echo $form->end();
//Important, before paginate elements
$paginator->options(array(
'url' => $this->params['named']
));
?>
3. /app/app_controller.php
<?php
class AppController extends Controller
{
//helper method to redirect query to named
// http://foo.com/foos/index/?q=x&blah=y to
// http://foo.com/foos/index/q:x/blah:y
function _redirectQueryToNamed($whitelist_param_names = null)
{
$query_strings = array();
if (is_array($whitelist_param_names)) {
foreach($whitelist_param_names as $param_name) {
if (!empty($this->params['url'][$param_name])) { //
query string
$query_strings[$param_name] = $this->params['url']
[$param_name];
}
}
} else {
$query_strings = $this->params['url'];
unset($query_strings['url']['url']); // Crazy, Remember:
Can't use ?url=foo
}
if (!empty($query_strings)) {
$query_strings = am($this->params['named'],
$query_strings);
$this->redirect($query_strings, null, true);
}
}
}
?>
4. /app/controlers/foos_controller.php
<?php
class FoosController extends AppController
{
function index()
{
$this->_redirectQueryToNamed();
// <The rest of the baked paginate codes>
// stuff $this->params['named'] in conditions
}
}
?>
Summary: Have the form in GET and force the page to namedArg; then
retain the namedArgs in paging. Then, use $this->params['named'] in
paginate conditions.
