Answer 1

Though this is a really late response , I had faced similar issue and found out that the setCollection()
was not getting the Product Collection.
You can find the Code at Your path app\code\core\Mage\Catalog\Block\Product\List\Toolbar.php at around line no 221.
<?php
public function setCollection($collection)
{
$this->_collection = $collection;
$this->_collection->setCurPage($this->getCurrentPage()); //*****HERE
// we need to set pagination only if passed value integer and more that 0
$limit = (int)$this->getLimit();
if ($limit) {
$this->_collection->setPageSize($limit);
}
if ($this->getCurrentOrder()) {
$this->_collection->setOrder($this->getCurrentOrder(), $this->getCurrentDirection());
}
return $this;
}
?>
Please try checking whether your function is getting the Collection or not.
Hope this is some help!!!
