I rewrote the code a bit, so that it conforms to my existing code, and so that it's also a tiny bit more readable.

However my problem has not been solved yet, this should be straightforward, but for some reason I don't know how to solve it. The issue is still that the page is NOT paginated (and the links are not showing up).

public function show($name) {

		$listings = Listing::where('category_id', '=', $name)->paginate(10);
		$category = Category::wherename($name)->firstOrFail();


		return View::make('categories.categories-view', compact('listings', 'category'));
	}

My view:

<section id="pagination" class="pagination">
  {{ $listings->links() }}
</section>

Any help is appreciated :)

Bump on the road :)
