Paginator Error

1

Hello, I am moving to cake 5.1 and receive Paginator Error in the template inthe header tags.
My Controller function:

public function index($id = null) {
    $query = $this->News->find();

    $news = $this->paginate($query, [
        'scope' => 'news'
    ]);
    $this->set(compact('news'));
    $this->render('/Homepage/News/index');
}

Error: TypeError: Cake\View\View::get(): Argument #1 ($var) must be of type string, int given
called in PaginatorHelper.php on line 142

@Klaus first of all - please use the “Preformatted text” Feature in this Forum so your code actually gets pasted in properly. I manually cleaned it up for now.

But your “problem” here is this line at the top:

$appnews = $this->get('appNews');

You don’t need to retrieve data inside your templates. Whenever you set a variable inside the controller like so

$this->set(compact('news'));

you automatically have access to it via `$news`

Also you can look at all your accesible variables via Debug Kit “Variables” Panel or just add a simple

pr($this->viewVars);

in your template (and make sure your Debug Mode is active) to see what your current scope of variables has to offer.

You may write foreach($news as $item):
