Pagination best practices - gastongr - 12-20-2015
Hello everyone, i am wondering if someone could share a few best practises for doing pagination with the CI library.
Currently i do it like
PHP Code:
public function method() {
$config["base_url"] = base_url('controller/method/page');
$config["total_rows"] = $this->items_model->count();
$config["per_page"] = 20;
$config["uri_segment"] = 4;
$this->pagination->initialize($config);
$start = ($this->uri->segment(4)) ? ($this->uri->segment(4)-1)*$config['per_page'] : 0;
$data["results"] = $this->items_model->get($config["per_page"], $start);
$data["links"] = $this->pagination->create_links();
$this->load->view("example1", $data);
}
Which really sucks.
Any advise or examples are very welcome!
Thanks guys!

My experience using free webhosting for demo and testing purpose. The server does not support mod_rewrite and cause all link with base_url() became error 404. Since the day, I use site_url() for pagination and only use base_url() to locate JavaScript, css and other assets in htdocs.
