Pagination with KNP Paginator is not working at all - symfony

Question

I tried very hard to get the KNP Paginator to work.
I only want to oder an Entity to the id, but the pagination accept all the params but does noting with it!
Here´s my code:
use Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Controller\Controller;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Request;
The Controller class:
class StartController extends Controller
{
public function indexAction(Request $request)
{
$em = $this->getDoctrine()->getManager();
$dql = "SELECT a FROM MainArtBundle:Art a";
$query = $em->createQuery($dql);
$paginator = $this->get('knp_paginator');
$pagination = $paginator->paginate(
$query,
$request->query->get('page', 1) /*page number*/,
8 /*limit per page*/
);
$pagination->setUsedRoute('homepage');
if (!$pagination) {
throw $this->createNotFoundException('Unable to find Art entities.');
}
return $this->render('MainShowBundle:Default:index.html.twig', array(
'pagination' => $pagination,
));
}
The Twig Template:
<li>{{ knp_pagination_sortable(pagination, 'Oldest', 'a.id', {'direction': 'desc'}) }}</li>
<li>{{ knp_pagination_sortable(pagination, 'Newest', 'a.id', {'direction': 'asc'}) }}</li>
The ArtEntity (the entire Entity because perhaps the mistake is caused by the entity, can it be)

The KNP Pagination Configuration (in config.yml)
knp_paginator:
page_range: 5 # default page range used in pagination control
default_options:
page_name: page # page query parameter name
sort_field_name: sort # sort field query parameter name
sort_direction_name: direction # sort direction query parameter name
distinct: true # ensure distinct results, useful when ORM queries are using GROUP BY statements
template:
pagination: ::Pagination\twitter_bootstrap_v3_pagination.html.twig # sliding pagination controls template
sortable: ::Pagination\sortable_link.html.twig # sort link template
I have dumped the pagination object in the controller and in the template as well. Everytime the params are there (direction= asc or desc) something like this is in the url:
?sort=a.id&direction=desc&page=1
but if I click on the link to change the direction: nothing change!!
I believe the knp pagination has a bug! Or I am very stupid ;)
If anyone can help me, I will be very happy!
Greetings Michael

Answer 1

For me, I created a new file knp_paginator.yaml and not knp_paginator.yml and I added this configuration and evrything works:
knp_paginator:
page_range: 5 # number of links shown in the pagination menu (e.g: you have 10 pages, a page_range of 3, on the 5th page you'll see links to page 4, 5, 6)
default_options:
page_name: page # page query parameter name
sort_field_name: sort # sort field query parameter name
sort_direction_name: direction # sort direction query parameter name
distinct: true # ensure distinct results, useful when ORM queries are using GROUP BY statements
filter_field_name: filterField # filter field query parameter name
filter_value_name: filterValue # filter value query parameter name
template:
pagination: '#KnpPaginator/Pagination/twitter_bootstrap_v4_pagination.html.twig' # sliding pagination controls template
sortable: '#KnpPaginator/Pagination/sortable_link.html.twig' # sort link template
filtration: '#KnpPaginator/Pagination/filtration.html.twig' # filters template
