Re: accessing field of paginate array in my view

i wouldnt be surprised if i did :).
but i am using the same action "profile" because the index of the
books is shown on that profile... or to be more specific, in the view
"profile.ctp" i included an
"$this->element" that shows all books, that each user is following.

that is, why i am using one paginator. it happens all in one
controller, in my view/action "profile"
