Question

I need a custom query pagination in CakePHP 1.2.

I have a reviews model and on one set of pages, it paginates the reviews model one way, and on another set of pages it does it another way with a different custom query. How do I overwrite paginate and paginateCount twice in the same model?

Answer 1

IMHO

I wouldn’t do it in the same model.

I would have two different models with different overwrites depending on your requirements and use them in the paginate method accordingly.

Something like.

$this->paginate(‘Superreviews’);

$this->paginate(‘Normalreviews’);

Obviously in both model classes you would have:

var $name = ‘Review’;
