[cforms] How to paginate widgets inside a repeater?

[Vilya Harvey <vi...@lineone.net>]

Hi everyone,

I'm fairly new to Cocoon and already very impressed with it, but have run 
across an issue I'm not sure how to solve. I've looked in the FAQ and HowTo 
sections as well as the resource links, but haven't been able to find 
anything. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I have a form, using CForms, with a repeater. I'd like to paginate it's 
contents, but I can't figure out how. As far as I can tell, the 
PaginationTransformer can't handle this use case (although I'd love to be 
wrong about that). What would be the best way of moving forward with this?

Thanks in advance,
Vil.

If I understand you correctly, you're saying I should transform the data 
into a paginated form before I bind it to the repeater? That sounds like a 
reasonable idea. I'll give it a go and see what happens. Thanks!

In my limited knowledge, I would say that you don't want to paginate in 
your repeater, you want to paginate in your binding between repeater and 
business objects. Your repeater shows just a range of entries from your 
business objects, but the repeater is always complete in itself.
