Issues with sfDoctrinePager pagination - symfony1

Question

I am using sfDoctrinePager in my module. I search the table on one or more criteria. First time the result displayed is correct but after it if I click on page 2 or more it again gives me the whole resultset and my search resultset is lost.
I am facing this issue for the first time, even though I have been using sfDoctrinePager since a long time.
I get this Array from my search form
(
[field_type] => log_type
[field_value] => ABC
[is_active] => on
)
I send this array variable to my model:
$getQuery = $objMgr->getSearchQuery($request->getPostParameters());
** The query which runs in model is:
public function getSearchQuery($arrSearchValues)
{
$q = Doctrine_Query::create()
->select('u.*')
->from('SomsConfigValues u');
->where('u.deleted_at IS NULL');
if(isset($arrSearchValues['is_active']) && $arrSearchValues['is_active'] == 'on'){
$q->where('u.is_active = ?', 1);
}
if(isset($arrSearchValues['field_type']) && $arrSearchValues['field_type'] != ""){
$revertChg = ucwords(str_replace("_", " ", $arrSearchValues['field_type']));
$q->andWhere('u.field_type = ?', $revertChg);
}
if(isset($arrSearchValues['field_value']) && $arrSearchValues['field_value'] != ''){
$q->andWhere('u.field_type = ?', $arrSearchValues['field_value']);
}
return $q;
}
First time I get the perfect searched result, but second time (when I click on page 2 it gives me whole resultset).
My action is:
public function executeIndex(sfWebRequest $request)
{
$objMgr = AdminFactory::adminObject();
$getQuerys = $objMgr->getSearchQuery($request->getPostParameters());
$this->config_values = $getQuerys;
$this->pager = new sfDoctrinePager('configValues', sfConfig::get('app_max_row_display'));
$this->pager->setQuery($this->config_values);
$this->pager->setPage($request->getParameter('page', 1));
$this->pager->init();
}
The template where I am using this pagination is:
<div class="grid_footer">
<div style="padding:5px;">
<?php if(count($pager->getLinks())) : ?>
<div class="tableControl">
<div class="pagination_inner">
<?php if(!$pager->isFirstPage()){ ?>
<?php echo link_to1(image_tag('/images/first.png'), 'configValues/index?page='.$pager->getFirstPage()) ?>
<?php echo link_to1(image_tag('/images/previous.png'), 'configValues/index?page='.$pager->getPreviousPage()) ?>
<?php } ?>
<div class="numbers">
<?php if ($pager->haveToPaginate()): ?>
<?php $links = $pager->getLinks(); foreach ($links as $page): ?>
<?php echo ($page == $pager->getPage()) ? $page : link_to($page, 'configValues/index?page='.$page) ?>
<?php endforeach ?>
<?php endif ?>
</div>
<?php if(!$pager->isLastPage()){ ?>
<?php echo link_to1(image_tag('/images/next.png'), 'configValues/index?page='.$pager->getNextPage()) ?>
<?php echo link_to1(image_tag('/images/last.png'), 'configValues/index?page='.$pager->getLastPage()) ?>
<?php } ?>
</div>
</div>
<?php echo $pager->getNbResults() ?> results (page <?php echo $pager->getPage(); ?>/<?php echo count($pager->getLinks()); ?>)
<?php endif; ?>
</div>
</div>

I was having exactly the same problem. The only way around this I found is as you said, to store the query. Instead of using the session, create an attribute in the user to store this.
in the action class put something like...
$this->getUser()->setAttribute('searchQuery', $getQuery);
This value persists through the session, so you can retreive it using e.g.
$storedQuery = $this->getUser()->getAttribute('searchQuery');
You can view the User attributes via the config item on the dev toolbar.
