Answer 1

The upshot, of course, is that you have to implement the Zend_Paginator_Adapter_Interface, which essentially means implementing the two methods:

count()

getItems($offset, $perPage)

Your adapter would accept the Doctrine query as a constructor argument.

In principle, the getItems() part is actually straightforward. Simply, add the $offset and $perPage restrictions to the query - as you are doing in your sample - and execute the query.

In practice, it's the count() business that tends to be tricky. I'd follow the example of Zend_Paginator_Adapter_DbSelect, replacing the Zend_Db operations with their Doctrine analogues.
