Laravel 4 - paginate ignore distinct in Fluent

Question

I make fluent request with distinct and paginate. My problem is that the paginate request is execute before disinct request

My Fluent request :

$candidat         


        

Answer 1

Blind guess : try

DB::table('candidates')->...stuff...->get()->paginate(15)

Real answer: Create your paginator manually:

$candidates = DB::table('candidates')->...stuff...->get();

$paginator = Paginator::make($candidates, count($candidates), 15);

Answer 2

<?php
     $presenter = new Illuminate\Pagination\BootstrapPresenter($candidates);
     $presenter->setLastPage($totalPages);
?>

@if ($totalPages> 1)
     <ul class="pagination">
          {{ $presenter->render() }}
     </ul>
@endif
