Question

i have a problem with the kohana pagination. i have made a method for paginating elements from the database, (let’s say 3 on a page), but, (though the pagination links are there), the pagination is not actually done, meaning i always get listed all the elements of the query.
the code i am using:

1. in a helper:

    public function come_paginate_users(){
    $count = Model::factory('user')->count_all(); //echo $count; exit();
   
   $pagination = Pagination::factory(array(
   'total_items'    => $count,
   'items_per_page' => 2,
   'auto_hide'      => TRUE,
   
    ));
   
   $results = Model::factory('user')->order_by('user_id','ASC')->limit($pagination-                     >items_per_page)->offset($pagination->offset)->find_all();//->execute();
   
    $page_links = $pagination->render();
    return $pagination;
        }
   

in the controller:

                $pagination = @helper_utilities::come_paginate_users();
                $this->view->pagination = $pagination;

and in the view:

               <? echo 'Classic style: '.$pagination;?>

but… the pagination is not working. any idea why? thank you!

Answer 1

Actually, You need to return $page_links (wich is rendered html) and $result instead of $pagination object in your come_paginate_users() method
