Cakephp and paginating multiple result sets

Question

I have pagination working fine for when $this->paginate is called once in an action, but it does not appear to be very good support for multiple calls. Here is what I\'m loo

Since there was not much activity on this, I went ahead and did the reasonable thing and figured out a workaround. Below is what I came up with:

Controller:

function index() {
    $active = $this->paginate('Post', array('Post.status'=>1));     
    $activePaging = $this->request->params['paging']['Post'];

    $inactive = $this->paginate('Post', array('Post.status'=>0));
    $inActivePaging = $this->request->params['paging']['Post'];

    $this->set('active', $active);
    $this->set('inactive', $inactive);

    $this->request->params['paging']['Active'] = $activePaging;
    $this->request->params['paging']['InActive'] = $inActivePaging;
    unset($this->request->params['paging']['Post']);
}

public function paginate() {
    if ($this->request->is('ajax')) {
        $model = $this->request->params['named']['model'];
        $status = $model === 'Active' ? 1 : 0;

        $posts = $this->paginate('Post', array('Post.status'=>$status));
        $paging = $this->request->params['paging']['Post'];
        unset($this->request->params['paging']['Post']);
        $this->request->params['paging'][$model] = $paging;

        $this->set('posts', $posts);
        $this->set('model', $model);
        $this->render('/Posts/ajax_posts_paginated', 'ajax');
    }
}

Views: (simplified)

index.ctp

Inactive Posts

element('posts_table_paginated', array('posts'=>$inactive, 'model'=>'InActive')); ?>


Active Posts

element('posts_table_paginated', array('posts'=>$active, 'model'=>'Active')); ?>

elements/posts_table_paginated.ctp

Paginator->options(array(
    'update' => '#'.$model,
    'evalScripts' => true,
    'url'=> array('controller'=>'posts', 'action'=>'paginate', 'model'=>$model)
));
?>

    

        
Paginator->sort('id', 'ID', array('model'=>$model)); ?>
        
Paginator->sort('title', 'Title', array('model'=>$model)); ?>
        
Paginator->sort('created', 'Created', array('model'=>$model)); ?>
        
Created by
    
    
    

        

        

        

        

    
    

params['paging'][$model]['count'] > 0) {
?>

    

        Paginator->prev(__('previous'), array('tag' => 'li', 'model'=>$model), null, array('tag'=>'li', 'class'=>'prev off'));
            echo $this->Paginator->numbers(array('tag'=>'li', 'model'=>$model, 'separator' => false));
            echo $this->Paginator->next(__('next'), array('tag' => 'li', 'model'=>$model), null, array('tag'=>'li', 'class'=>'next off'));
        ?>
    


Js->writeBuffer(); 
?>
