Add pagination to a custom entity listing in Magento

You have created a new entity type and want to display it as a paginated list ?

First, integrate the MagePageBlockHtmlPager through your block :

class Your_Module_Block_Entityname_ListextendsMage_Core_Block_Template {

 protectedfunction _construct() {

  parent::_construct(); 

// We get our collection through our model  

$this->_entities = Mage::getModel('your_module/entityname')
->getCollection() 
->setOrder('created_at'); 

// Instantiate a new Pager block  

$pager =newMage_Page_Block_Html_Pager(); 

// We set our limit (here an integer store in configuration).  

// /!\ The limit must be set before the collection  

$pager->setLimit((int)Mage::getStoreConfig('your_module/entityname/pagination')) 
->setCollection($this->_entities); 

// Add our Pager block to our current list block  

$this->setChild('pager', $pager); 

} 

} 

ou just need now to include the call in your template (phtml) file :

 <divclass="your_module_entities"> 

 <?php foreach($this->_entities as $entity):?>

  <divclass="entity">

  <h2><?php echo $entity->getAttribute1();?></h2>

  <p><?php echo $entity->getAttribute2();?></p>

  </div> 

 <?php endforeach;?>

  </div> 
<?php echo $this->getChildHtml('pager');?>

And you should be good to go !
