Hi,

I'm trying to forge a pagination instance, but when I try to echo this out in the view, it returns an empty string

Does anyone know what I'm doing incorrectly?

Thanks in advance

Controller:

$config = array(

'total_items' => Model_Yourvoice::count(),

'per_page' => 10,

'uri_segment' => 3,

);

$pagination = Pagination::forge('yourvoicepagination', $config);

$data['yourvoices'] = Model_Yourvoice::find('all',array('order_by' => array('created_at' => 'desc')), array('rows_offset' => $pagination->offset), array('rows_limit' => $pagination->per_page));

// we pass the object, it will be rendered when echo'd in the view

$data['pagination'] = $pagination;

$this->template->title = "Yourvoices";

$this->template->content = View::forge('yourvoice/index', $data);

In the view, var_dump($pagination) returns string(0) ""

$pagination->render() exits with: Method Fuel\Core\View::__toString() must not throw an exception

If you pass the object like that, it will be cleaned by the View as per your security settings, and I don't think that will work.

So either whitelist the pagination class in your main config file ("whitelisted_classes"), or pass it to the view like so:

$this->template->set_safe('pagination', $pagination);

Alternatively, don't pass anything, but use this in your view:

echo Pagination::instance('yourvoicepagination');

Thanks for the response,

I've added the $this->template->set_safe('pagination', $pagination);

The same issue remained, I've just tried the echo Pagination::instance('yourvoicepagination');

That didn't render anything on the view either, it would seem the pagination instance isn't working, is there a way I can view the output of the pagination variable directly from the controller? i.e var_dump or such like?

Update:

After white listing the class, I can now var_dump the $pagination but calling $pagination->render() does not output any HTML

Which Fuel version are you on?

Does your app have a custom pagination config file, or do yo use the framework defaults?

How many pages of output do you have (check the "total_pages" config value in your var_dump). If only one, pagination will not output anything, as there is nothing to paginate.

If you call $pagination->render(true), it will return a raw array with all variables instead of the rendered HTML, perhaps that will show you more?

It's always the simplest solution, the per page value was set higher than the total records!

Now I just have to figure out why it's displaying all the available records, instead of the "per_page" value of the pagination.

I imagine this orm query is suspect

$data['yourvoices'] = Model_Yourvoice::find('all',array('order_by' => array('created_at' => 'desc')), array('rows_offset' => $pagination->offset), array('rows_limit' => $pagination->per_page));

Edit:

Replaced with,

$data['yourvoices'] = Model_Yourvoice::query()

->order_by('created_at', 'DESC')

->rows_offset( $pagination->offset )

->rows_limit( $pagination->per_page )

->get();

Resolved!

Thanks for the help!

You're welcome.

To be complete, your initial query went wrong because all options have to be in a single array:

$data['yourvoices'] = Model_Yourvoice::find('all',array(

'order_by' => array('created_at' => 'desc'),

'rows_offset' => $pagination->offset,

'rows_limit' => $pagination->per_page

);

would have fixed it too.
