How to pass pagination parameters with additional params cakephp?

cakephp, cakephp-2.3, pagination

Solution

Thanks to AD7six for the reference.

My controller needs to have :

$this->paginate = array(
 //other stuff here
 'paramType' => 'querystring'
);

Followed by:

$this->Paginator->options(array('url'=> array('controller' => 'Product',
                                  'action'=>'catview','slug'=> $slug),
                                     'convertKeys' => array('page')));

in the view file

Problem

I have a list of categories which displays the list of items under it. Thus: routes have: ``` Router::connect('/category/:slug', array('controller' => 'Product', 'action'=>'catview', 'slug'=> '[0-9a-zA-Z]+')); Router::connect('/category/:slug/:page', array('controller' => 'Product', 'action'=>'catview','slug'=> '[0-9a-zA-Z]+','page'=>'[0-9]+')); ``` and when I do this in results page, it just doesn't work: ``` <?php $slug = $this->params['slug']; $this->Paginator->options(array('url'=> array('controller' => 'Product', 'action'=>'catview','slug'=> $slug))); echo $this->Paginator->prev('<< Show me previous', array('class'=>'prev')) . $this->Paginator->next('Show me more >>', array('class'=>'next')); ?> ``` It does not change the results, it shows the same result as it does on page 1. Any ideas where I am going wrong?
