The Bakery Everything CakePHP

Just a basic introduction to the wonderful abilities of pagination in Cake 1.2. Gives an overview of how to use pagination to do some very complex things with very little code.

This tutorial will attempt to cover some advanced techniques of pagination. In large this will cover Ajax pagination. Hopefully we can also uncover some of the better practices and techniques to use with pagination.

This simple little JQuery function allows you to drop paginated data into your views with ease.

While it may not be a common problem, I ran into this while working on a simple website I was building, and have recieved permission to share it with the community. I had a paginated table, and wanted a SUMed column to support sorting. This is how I did it.

Note that the coming release of CakePHP 1.3, has an awesome feature known as Virtual Fields http://book.cakephp.org/view/1608/Virtual-fields, which are far superior to this little trick.
