I tried, but it won't work. The variables für limit, order and sortby
are overwritten after I change the page of the pagination, because the
date from the forms no longer exist and are overwritten by my standard
values.
The problem is that when I use my filter-form and send the form, the
variables are set. But when the paginator-link is clickes, the
controller is called again, variables are set and the RequestHandler
part will be ignored because in this case the data from the forms is
not given to the controller.
So I guess I need a way to
a) store the given form data (filter options) persistent in my app so
it won't be overwritten after a page-change
or
b) manipulate the links of the form helper after sending the form so
it will have the desired options I selected in my form...
There has to be someone who already did this in an app, right....?
