将pager.html放在result.phtml而不是toolbar.phtml中

Question

I'm trying to put a pagination on my result.phtml file using pager.phtml file creating a custom block:

echo $this->getLayout()->createBlock('page/html_pager', 'bottom.pager')->toHtml();

But i get the following error:

Fatal error: Call to a member function getSize() on a non-object

On Magento's default structure, the function $this->getPagerHtml() is used inside the file toolbar.phtml:

/app/design/frontend/base/default/template/catalog/product/list/toolbar.phtml

This function shows the default page navigation and the toolbar.phtml file is called on:

app/design/frontend/base/default/template/catalog/product/list.phtml

by the function $this->getToolbarHtml() and the list.phtml file is called on:

app/design/frontend/base/default/template/catalogsearch/result.phtml

by the function $this->getProductListHtml().

How can i use the function $this->getPagerHtml() (or, somehow, use pagination) for paginate my results directly inside result.phtml without need of all these dependencies?

Uou can use this code to add pager to your result.phtml. You must provide the collection using the setCollection function.

_getProductCollection() is a protected function from the class Mage_CatalogSearch_Block_Result, and gets current product collection.

<?php 
    $layout = Mage::getSingleton('core/layout');
    $pager = $layout->createBlock('page/html_pager');
    $pager->setCollection($this->_getProductCollection());
    echo $pager->toHtml();
 ?>
