Question

in my controller I have this

public function station_users($id=null){
        $users = $this->User->find('all',array('conditions'=>array('test_id'=>$this->params['named']['test_id'])));

        $this->set('users', $users);
        $this->render("station_users",'ajax');
    }

I am getting all the users for a certain test id but now my sort doesnt work. how can I add pagination.
I tried

$this->User->recursive = 0;
        $this->set('users', $this->paginate());

and that didnt work
thanks

Before calling $this->paginate(), you need to configure your pagination, with something like this:

$this->paginate = array
    (
        'User' => array
        (
            'recursive' => 0,
            'conditions' => array
            (
                'test_id' => $this->params['named']['test_id'],
            ),
        )
    );

$users = $this->paginate('User');
