CakePHP Pagination with Webservice

Question

Hi,

I am invoking a web service and get data. The result has "TotalPages", "TotalResults" information.

Based on this, I need to generate a paging mechanism using cakephp.

Please share some code snippet or advise me on how to achieve this.

Answer 1

The Pagination Helper will make displaying the paginated data a lot easier for you. However, it operates on the assumption that you are using a Cake Model. Luckily, you can create a Datasource (the manual is empty, but the API documentation and searching Google will teach you more) and a Model to use your Datasource and you should be in business.

The Yahoo BOSS and RSS Feed Datasources should be useful examples.
