Question

I want to get multiple pagination on same template. I am querying 2 different models to paginate in 2 different places of a template file file. As you have guessed if I click next page of one of both pagination, both the models fetches next page values.
I have done enough research and tried various solutions available online but none of them worked. May be i dint used them correctly.

I have figured out that if I can be able to set page no statically i can get it worked.

I want to set it like

‘page’=>1

I know we can set it like that. But if there is a param in url like

…../page:2/….

It is overriding the value i specified. Is there a way to get pages of numbers we gave no matter what is sent through URL?

Thankyou

First, you can overwrite the page number in the URL parameters, like this

$this->request->params['named']['page'] = YOUR_FAVORITE_INTEGER;

The problem with this is that the URL on the page will still have the old :page value set, so…

The other approach is to redirect to the same controller action, but with a different page number set (or no page number set, if you like).

$this->redirect(array('action' => 'whatever', 'page' => YOUR_FAVORITE_INTEGER));

Here are the docs on constructing redirects, in case you need them:
