cakePHP paginate with post data without sessions, serialization or post to get

Question

I have created a small search and filter form with a POST action in controller/index, which POSTs to itself the conditions and fields to paginate ($this->paginate($

Answer 1

You can use passedArgs.

in the method controller :

if ( empty($this->passedArgs['search']) ){
    $this->passedArgs['search'] = $this->data['YourModel']['search'];
}
if ( empty($this->data) ){
    $this->data['YourModel']['search'] = $this->passedArgs['search'];
}

in your view :

$this->Paginator->options(array('url' => $this->passedArgs));
