Hello,

sometimes it is necessary to use an object storage or an array instead of an query result. If this is the case, it is not possible to use the default paginate viewhelper anymore, cause it is requiering a Tx_Extbase_Persistence_QueryResultInterface.

I've copied the widget and changed it to work with array. This is my indexAction of PaginateController:

    public function indexAction($currentPage = 1) {
        // set current page
        $this->currentPage = (integer)$currentPage;
        if ($this->currentPage < 1) {
            $this->currentPage = 1;
        } elseif ($this->currentPage > $this->numberOfPages) {
            $this->currentPage = $this->numberOfPages;
        }

        $i = 0;
        $itemsPerPage = (integer)$this->configuration['itemsPerPage'];
        $modifiedObjects = array();
        $indexMin = $itemsPerPage * ($this->currentPage - 1);
        $indexMax = $itemsPerPage * $this->currentPage - 1;

        foreach ($this->objects as $object) {
            if ($i >= $indexMin && $i <= $indexMax ) {
                $modifiedObjects[] = $object;
            }
            $i++;
        }

        $this->view->assign('contentArguments', array(
            $this->widgetConfiguration['as'] => $modifiedObjects
        ));
        $this->view->assign('configuration', $this->configuration);
        $this->view->assign('pagination', $this->buildPagination());
    }

Of cause you would have to remove the requirement of Tx_Extbase_Persistence_QueryResultInterface in PaginateViewHelper (Line 76 and 71) and PaginateController (Line 34) too.

This example is for arrays only, but if you make a check of the objecttype you can consolidate the support of queryResults (current) and arrays (this code example).

And it is relatively less work.
