SilverStripe PaginatedList is throwing an exception - php

Question

I'm using 3.1.13 SilverStripe CMS and Framework. I have ran into troubles after creating a function inside my Page.php (class Page) and initializing it in my views (page.ss).
I want to create a pagination for my project.
Here is my error with source and trace:
[User Error] Uncaught Exception: The request must be readable as an array.
GET /?flushtoken=88455a3cc5497ee38dd7a61d75370221&flush=all

Where is the problem? I'm following this instructions and it fails when I'm calling my function in the view.

Answer 1

Nevermind! I just realized that if I want to get $this->request work, I need to place that function into class Page controller.
