For a CakePHP n00b the pagination thing might seem a bit complicated. Well to be frank it is in someways. For instance you can only currently paginate stuff easily when there is a model involved!
For instance here is a pagination with a deep association:
$this->UserProfile->User->Friend->recursive = -1; $this->set('userFriends', $this->paginate($this->UserProfile->User->Friend, array('Friend.user_id' => $userid, 'Friend.accepted' => 1))); $this->set('userFriendsWaiting', $this->paginate($this->UserProfile->User->Friend, array('Friend.user_id' => $userid, 'Friend.accepted' => 0, 'Friend.rejected' => 0))); $this->set('userFriendsRejected', $this->paginate($this->UserProfile->User->Friend, array('Friend.user_id' => $userid, 'Friend.accepted' => 0, 'Friend.rejected' => 1)));
in this it is to ensure that you have the paginate var set in your Friend Model – and that each conditions field (the stuff in the array() is prefixed with the table of this model
Hope this clears it up
