There is a page on a site I'm building that is going to have a View embedded four times, each time with a different argument. Basically, I'm showing the latest post for four different categories that the posts are organized into.

I want each embedded View to show one post at a time and use AJAX pagers to allow users to page to the next-oldest post in a particular category right there on that page. Of course, the following code doesn't work because pager_element is set to 0 for each of them. 

 print views_embed_view('principles', 'embed', 'access');
print views_embed_view('principles', 'embed', 'choice');
print views_embed_view('principles', 'embed', 'openness');
print views_embed_view('principles', 'embed', 'innovation');

If I manage to set pager_element for these from 0-3, would that make all the pagers work, even though they are all on one page?

I've been trying to do this, but I don't really know my way around setting options for a View and then rendering it. With the following code, the View renders all of the results without a pager, rather than the one at a time with a pager. Any guidance on how to set pager_element so that each of these embedded views along with their AJAX pagers work would be greatly appreciated!

 $innovation = views_get_view('principles');
$innovation->set_display('default');
$innovation->set_arguments(array('innovation'));
$innovation->display['default']->display_options['pager_element'] = 5;
$innovation = $innovation->render();
print $innovation;

Thanks.

Alright, so I've found that I can't use 'embed' as the display id, it has to be 'page_2'. That makes some stuff work better. But I'm still having an issue where when I print the view using $innovation->render(), for example, all of the results get spit out, rather than just 1, like it is set to, with a pager. Why is this? Also, how come print $innovation->preview() doesn't output anything? I'm sort of following panels_views.module as a model for how to set options and print the view, but not having much luck.

The options for the pager get copied from the display to the view during pre_execute(). If you are not using preview() or execute_display() you must be sure to run pre_execute().
