Ajax pagination with filters in cakephp

Question

Can anybody give a best example of ajax pagination in cakephp 2.x.

This should include data filtering also.

I have read cakephp manual but could not understand much.

Answer 1

After a long search and work, i have developed a solution which is as follows:

Client Side:

• Fist of all create a form with all filtering options.
• Submit the form using ajax.
• Use Post method to submit the form.
• Submit the form using serialize method.

Server Side:

• All filter form data will be available in $this->request->data.

• Set PaginatorHelper options as mentioned below:

  $this->paginator->options(array(

  'url' => $this->passedArgs,
  
  'update' => 'element_id_to_be_updated',
  'evalScripts' => true,
  'data'=>http_build_query($this->request->data),
  'method'=>'POST',
  

  ) );

• 'url' => $this->passedArgs To post back all named arguments, when pagination links are clicked.

• 'data'=>http_build_query($this->request->data) To post back all post data, when pagination links are clicked.
