Fixed number of links in pagination - El Forum - 07-05-2011
[eluser]Constantin Iliescu[/eluser]
Hello!
I want to always have 10 link in pagination. Does anybody have an idea how I could accomplish this? As far as I can see in documentation, only the number of links from left and right of the current page can be set.
Thank you.

Then you need to manage pagination config for 'total_rows' and 'per_page'. Everytime you retrieve data from your database, you can use 'LIMIT' clause to limiting your database result into exact 10 * your 'per_page' config.

Hi, toopay,
Sorry, I haven't been too clear.
I'm trying to find if there's a way to specify the number of links shown at a time, similar to 'num_links' config.
So, instead of telling pagination to display "x" links to the left and right of the current page, can I tell it to always display "y" links?
Thank you.

pagination library, as you see uses num_links config. There is no other setting for this behaviour. Either you extend pagination class to have this feature or you convert your 'y' links to num_links like
Code:
$config['num_links'] = (int)(y/2);Fixed number of links in pagination - El Forum - 07-06-2011

Thanks, osci.
The solution was, indeed, to extend the pagination class.
