Going from find('all') to paginate() breaks data in CakePHP?

Question

I am trying to use afterFind to manipulate fields before displaying. It was working fine when I was using find('all') - then I switched to paginate() in order to, um, paginate. And now it's telling me the following error:

Notice (8): Undefined index: Event [APP/Model/Event.php, line 24]
Notice (8): Undefined index: Event [APP/Model/Event.php, line 25]

The afterFind script:

    public function afterFind($results, $primary = false) {
        foreach ($results as $key => $val) {
            if (isset($val['Event']['begindate'])) {
                $results[$key]['Event']['begindate'] = $this->dateFormatAfterFind(
                    $val['Event']['begindate']
                );
            }
        }
        return $results;
    }

This is the controller:

public function index() {

    $this->Event->recursive = 2;

    $events = $this->Paginate('Event');

$sorted = Set::sort($events, '{n}.Event.begindate', 'asc'); $this->set('events', $sorted); }

So what changed from find('all') to paginate?

Answer 1

You should try this code, may work for you

public function index() {
    $this->Event->recursive = 2;
    $events = $this->Paginator->paginate('Event');
    $this->set(compact('events'));
}
