Pagination - Done Differently

My current project has friendly urls throughout.

I have a requirement for pagination on some sections.

For example, there is a section for company profiles that may consist of several pages for each profile.

The urls would look something like this:

company-profiles/some-company/

company-profiles/some-company/products/

company-profiles/some-company/business-model/

company-profiles/some-company/growth-prospects/

etc.

Some profiles could extend up to many tens of pages.

Another fly in the ointment is that "company-profiles/some-company/" is in 1 table and contains the overview. The rest of the pages are in another related table.

I’m surprised I couldn’t find an existing solution because I would imagine it’s quite a common requirement, but every other pagination solution I have encountered relies on GET (or POST) parameters with something like ?page=2.

So my questions are, has anyone done this before with Yii and if not, what kind of demand is there for this type of pagination?

I have created a working solution but it’s very specific to my project and needs more work for production.
