set_pagination

To allow for pagination links to easily be created in a view, call $this->set_pagination($collection); using a collection that is returned from a paginate() call on a model.

<?php
// controllers/venues_controller.php

class VenuesController extends PublicController {

  public function search() { 
    $collection = $this->Venue->paginate($this->params);
    $this->set('objects', $collection['objects']);
    $this->set_pagination($collection);
  }
  
}

// views/venues/search.php

echo $this->pagination();
?>

set_pagination() processes the collection and sets $this->pagination to an appropriate array that will be used in paginate_links() within $this->pagination(); in the view.
