Question

my pagination problem still continue ;

I just making pagination in simple stuff :

        $config['base_url'] = site_url('admin/index/page/');
        $this->load->database();
        $config['total_rows'] = $this->db->count_all('sms');
        $config['per_page'] = 20;
        $offset = $this->uri->segment(4, 0);
        $this->pagination->initialize($config)

And my view page has this command for view pagination :

        <?php echo $this->pagination->create_links(); ?> 

And after more than 20 rows , pagination starts to paging the list, but html output shows like this :

 1 2 3 

As in view , First Page Number 1 does not have link either jumping next page , there is no link on page number 1. Just its on strong .

My second problem is : I have just 30 record but CI pagination creates 3rd page which is coming with empty rows !

I am not sure why some Class ( specially pagination makes so much trouble to users ? ) If i need to pay something ( maybe hidden licence? ) for get away from trouble instead of using simple pagination class without loosing so much time for searching issue on internet , I am ready for it !

I was very mad because of this pagination problem and I was studying the source code of the pagination library and I saw this — var $uri_segment = 3; The default of the pagination library uses the 3rd uri segment, in your case and in my case we wanted to use the 4th uri segment. To suit our needs change this code:

    $config['base_url'] = site_url('admin/index/page/');
    $this->load->database();
    $config['total_rows'] = $this->db->count_all('sms');
    $config['per_page'] = 20;
    $offset = $this->uri->segment(4, 0);
    $this->pagination->initialize($config)


   TO


    $config['base_url'] = site_url('admin/index/page/');
    $this->load->database();
    $config['total_rows'] = $this->db->count_all('sms');
    $config['per_page'] = 20;
    $offset = $this->uri->segment(4, 0);

    $config['uri_segment'] = 4;      // add this line to override the default

    $this->pagination->initialize($config)

Kindly post back here if this will solve your problem or if the problem still exists so I can help 🙂

Nwei this is not in the pagination class documentation. I hope this will be added to the docs because I’m seeing many developers having a hard time with the pagination class.
