How to integrate pagination in Kohana? - pagination

Question

I am trying to integrate pagination in kohana, but don't know how to integrate it. Following is the controller function
public function action_index() {
//setup the model and view
$_users = Model::factory('users');
$us = $_users->get_users();
$view = View::factory('users/index')->bind('user_list', $us);
$this->template->set('content',$view);
}
How can i add pagination in this function?
I found some code for pagination but couldn't integrate it. This is the function i found
$this->pagination = new Pagination(array(
'base_url' => 'users/index/',
'uri_segment' => 'page',
'total_items' => count($items->get_item_count())
Please help me
EDIT:
I tried something like
public function action_index(){
$query = DB::select()->from('user');
// count number of users
$total_users = count($query);;
// set-up the pagination
$pagination = Pagination::factory(array(
'total_items' => $total_users,
'items_per_page' => 10, // this will override the default set in your config
));
// select rows using pagination's limit&offset
$users = $query->offset($pagination->offset)->limit($pagination->items_per_page)->execute();
$view = View::factory('users/index')->bind('user_list', $users)->bind('pagination', $pagination);
$this->template->set('content',$view);
}
Now no error found but pagination not showing up. Used shadowhand's pagination module suggested by #DanielThompson

I use shadowhand's pagination module which supports Kohana 3+, just make sure you grab the same branch as your Kohana version, then add it to your modules directory.
Update your application/bootstrap.php file:
Kohana::modules(array(
// ...
'pagination' => MODPATH.'pagination'
));
Copy modules/pagination/config/pagination.php to application/config/pagination.php
In your controller action (e.g. users):
// count number of users
$total_users = ORM::factory('User')->count_all();
// set-up the pagination
$pagination = Pagination::factory(array(
'total_items' => $total_users,
'items_per_page' => 10, // this will override the default set in your config
));
// get users using the pagination limit/offset
$users = ORM::factory('User')->offset($pagination->offset)->limit($pagination->items_per_page)->find_all();
// pass the users & pagination to the view
$this->view->bind('pagination', $pagination);
$this->view->bind('users', $users);
In your view:
// loop over users
foreach($users as $user) {
// ...
}
// display pagination view using
echo $pagination;
The module comes with two views: basic or floating which is set in the config file. You could also create a custom one for your application.
