I was going to call the pagination from multiple controller. I have about 10 of them use pagination and tired of keep typing up the same over and over again and clutter the page. Okay...so, these what I understood so far:
(1) I can make a call to pagination from multiple controller inside default.py if I have pagination function defined in model. (2) I can make a call to pagination from multiple controller inside default.py if I have pagination function defined in module but in that case I have to import it. from xxxx import xxxx (3) I can make a call to pagination from multiple controller inside default.py if I have pagination function defined in controller (default.py) but in that case I have to use URL redirect. And in URL redirect I can pass arguments. Have I got 1, 2 and 3 right? Questions. If I use URL redirect, I can pass an input argument (I call input parameter) to pagination function, but how I get the output (or the return values). An example will be great. I thought LOAD is same like URL redirect. So, in that case I can also use LOAD as well. Right? Thank you in advance.
