Hi All,
I've been at this for ages, I know there seems to be a lot out there about the pagination of DataObjects but for the life of me I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong!?!?
All the DataObjects show up on the page when only 6 should. Also the 1 2 | Next >> also shows up but has no effect.

ArticleItem.php is my DataObject

So in my ArticleHolder.php Controller I have:

class ArticlePage_Controller extends Page_Controller {
	
	function ArticleItem() {
		if(!isset($_GET['start']) || !is_numeric($_GET['start']) || (int)$_GET['start'] < 1) 
		{
			$_GET['start'] = 0;
		}

		$SQL_start = (int)$_GET['start'];
	
		$newsEntries = DataObject::get('ArticleItems', '', 'Date DESC');
		$doSet = new DataObjectSet();
			foreach ($newsEntries as $newsEntry) {
				if ($newsEntry->canView()) {
					$doSet->push($newsEntry);
				}
			}
		$doSet->setPageLimits($SQL_start, 10, $doSet->Count());
    return $doSet;
}
	
}

And then in my ArticleHolder.ss I have:

<% control ArticleItems %>
<div class="article">
  <h2>$ArticleTitle</h2>
  <% if ArticleDesc %>
  $ArticleDesc
  <% end_if %>
  <a href="$ArticleUrl.Link" target="_blank">Read More...</a>
</div>
<% end_control %>

<% if ArticleItems.MoreThanOnePage %>

	<% if ArticleItems.PrevLink %>
    <a href="$ArticleItems.PrevLink">&lt;&;lt; Prev</a> |
	<% end_if %>

	<% control ArticleItems.Pages %>
        <% if CurrentBool %>
        <strong>$PageNum</strong>
        <% else %>
        <a href="$Link" title="Go to page $PageNum">$PageNum</a>
        <% end_if %>
    <% end_control %>

	<% if ArticleItems.NextLink %>
    | <a href="$ArticleItems.NextLink">Next &gt;&gt;</a>
    <% end_if %>
    
<% end_if %>

All and any help is appreciated :)

I somehow got it working :)
I think it was because I didn't initially have a 'Date' field.... I think....

And then this for my ArticlePage.ss

<% if AllNewsPosts %>
    <% control AllNewsPosts.Pagination %>
    <div class="article">
      <h3>$ArticleTitle</h3>
      <% if ArticleDesc %>
      $ArticleDesc
      <% end_if %>
      <a href="$ArticleUrl.Link" target="_blank">Read More...</a> </div>
    <% end_control %>
    <% else %>
    <div class="no-entry">'There are no entries'</div>
    <% end_if %>
    
    <% if AllNewsPosts.MoreThanOnePage %>
    <div class="pagination" style="float:right;">
      <p>
        <% if AllNewsPosts.NotFirstPage %>
        <a class="prev" href="$AllNewsPosts.PrevLink" title="View the previous page">&lt; Prev</a>
        <% end_if %>
        <span>
        <% control AllNewsPosts.PaginationSummary(0) %>
        <% if CurrentBool %>
        <span class="current">$PageNum</span>
        <% else %>
        <% if Link %>
        <a href="$Link" class="numbers" title="View page number $PageNum">$PageNum</a>
        <% else %>
        &hellip;
        <% end_if %>
        <% end_if %>
        <% end_control %>
        </span>
        <% if AllNewsPosts.NotLastPage %>
        <a class="next" href="$AllNewsPosts.NextLink" title="View the next page">Next &gt;</a>
        <% end_if %>
      </p>
    </div>
    <% end_if %>
