php - Laravel 5.1 specifing current page for pagination

Question

Been working on this for far too long with no results. I have tried.

`IlluminatePaginationPaginator::setCurrentPage($current_page);`

returns Call to protected method IlluminatePaginationPaginator::setCurrentPage()

Paginator::setCurrentPage($current_page);

returns Call to protected method IlluminatePaginationPaginator::setCurrentPage()

DB::getPaginator()->setCurrentPage($current_page);

returns call_user_func_array() expects parameter 1 to be a valid callback, class 'IlluminateDatabaseMySqlConnection' does not have a method 'getPaginator'

$tmp = new Post( ); $tmp->getConnection()->setCurrentPage($current_page);

returns call_user_func_array() expects parameter 1 to be a valid callback, class 'IlluminateDatabaseMySqlConnection' does not have a method 'getPaginator'

How can I specify the page? I need to specify it manually.

I had hoped it to be as easy as $model->find( )->paginate($per_page, $page)

Answer 1

The Builder Class has:

public function paginate($perPage = null, $columns = ['*'], $pageName = 'page', $page = null)

You can call

Model::find(...)->paginate($per_page, ['*'], 'page', $page);
