yii, pagination simple

Pagination in yii is quite simple. Before you can understand the solution i am presenting below you need to know how YII works basically and the model controller and view approach of yii:


Add following code in your controller action function:

function actionIndex(){
    $criteria = new CDbCriteria();
    $count=Article::model()->count($criteria);
    $pages=new CPagination($count);

    // results per page
    $pages->pageSize=10;
    $pages->applyLimit($criteria);
    $models = Post::model()->findAll($criteria);

    $this->render('index', array(
    'models' => $models,
         'pages' => $pages
    ));
}

And to display the pagination in view file simply use following code:

<?php foreach($models as $model): ?>
    // display a model
<?php endforeach; ?>

// display pagination
<?php $this->widget('CLinkPager', array(
    'pages' => $pages,
)) ?>
