Magento – Load pagination on list.phtml

categorylist.phtmlpaginationproduct-list

i'm trying to create my first magento template and i'm facing problems to load the pagination toolbar.

My last try was using

$object = new Mage_Catalog_Block_Product_List_Toolbar();
echo $object->getPagerHtml();

This hint was taken from

http://magento.stackexchange.com/questions/11528/pagination-on-products-page

But on my catalog/product/list.phtml doesn't show my pagination.
Maybe I'm missing something on XML layout?
PS.: Neither toolbar.phtml loads

First check your theme layout file catalog.xml

<block type="catalog/product_list_toolbar" name="product_list_toolbar" template="catalog/product/list/toolbar.phtml">

is set in catalog_category_default(Catalog Category (Non-Anchor) and Catalog Category (Anchor)) node,

If code not existing so add this code. you can copy it from base theme catalog.xml

Did you try this

$Collection->setOrder(array('attribute1', 'attribute2'), asc);

Pass an array of attribute inside the setOrder().

The real issue here isn't preloading, it's accuracy. It's relatively easy to obtain the stock amount for a collection of products:

$products = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->getCollection()
    ->addCategoryFilter($_category);
$stockCollection = Mage::getModel('cataloginventory/stock_item')
    ->getCollection()
    ->addProductsFilter($products);

Now with two queries, you have all the info you need. They're just hard to relate to one another, which can be fixed by using an associative array 'product_id' => 'stock' and writing a getter. Also, addProductsFilter can be optimized:

public function addProductIdsFilter(array $productIds)
{
    if(empty($productIds) {
        $this->_setIsLoaded(true);
    }
    $this->addFieldToFilter('main_table.product_id', array('in' => $productIds));
    return $this;
}

This saves you the type check and array cloning.

The problem now is Block HTML cache. This category page needs to be purged when any stock is updated on a product contained in it. As far as I know, this isn't standard, since only a stock status change purges a category page containing a product (or more accurately, a visibility change). So you'll need to observe at least cataloginventory_stock_item_before_save and maybe a few others and purge block html cache (and FPC cache) for that category page.
