->setOrder('created_at'); 

// Instantiate a new Pager block  

$pager =newMage_Page_Block_Html_Pager();

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

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

WordPress Vtiger Synchronization  to synchronize the wordpress user to vtiger user 

Here is a quick code to get the admin user’s data (id, name, username, email, password, etc).

$user = Mage::getSingleton('admin/session')->getData();

$userId = $user->getUser()->getUserId();
$userEmail = $user->getUser()->getEmail();
$userFirstname = $user->getUser()->getFirstname();
$userLastname = $user->getUser()->getLastname();
$userUsername = $user->getUser()->getUsername();
$userPassword = $user->getUser()->getPassword();

Use of session in Magento:
Let’s start this blog with the session definition, ‘It is a way to preserve certain data across subsequent accesses’. This enables you to build more customized applications and increase the appeal of your web site. Now, Let’s see how to set ,unset and retrieve a session in Magento.

Generally, Magento session is handled by core Module ‘core/session’. We use “set<session name>” to set a session variable. For more understanding, look on to the following syntax and example.

Example :
$myValue =’test’;
Mage::getSingleton(‘core/session’)->setMyValue($myValue);

In this example, I have declared the variable $myValue as “test”. I am going to set this variable in session. To do so, I have used the default syntax of the Magento in line 2. Now the session variable is set in the magento.Wow, its easy to set the session variable.

Let’s now look, how to get value from the session variable

    public function loadByField($field,$value){
    	$table = $this->getMainTable();
