Having gone round in so many circles I finally found out that when useing Zend Pagination and the current route you are using has more than one dynamic variable i.e
$router->addRoute(
'listingswithpage',
new Zend_Controller_Router_Route(
'/listing/:type/:page',
array('controller' => 'listing',
'action' => 'index')
)
);
Your pagination view helper gets a bit thrown if you go by the documentation. The first thing you need to do is find a way to specify the first page initially. I went with specifying my first page in my route definition so it looked something like this
$router->addRoute(
'listingswithpage',
new Zend_Controller_Router_Route(
'/listing/:type/:page',
array('controller' => 'listing',
'action' => 'index',
'page' => 1)
)
);
And that worked. Failing that you have to figure out a way to pass the complete URL path to you pagination view which might be something like “controls.phtml” or “pagination.phtml”. and constructing the url properly there.
I will perhaps post a more detailed description of what this means but leave a comment if you are impatient and I will try and respond when I get a moment.
