Pagination doesnt appear

[eluser]Balistix[/eluser]
Hi there, I am very much new to php and code igniter itself. Recently I followed some tutorials on pagination, but it doesn't work as it should. I suspect its probably my coding error (most proobably) , can anyone be helpful enough to check this up for me. Thanks.

My controller

Code:

<?php

class gallery extends Controller {


    function index()
    {
        $this->load->library('pagination');
        $config['base_url'] = 'http://localhost/ci_avatar/index.php/gallery/index/';
        $config['total_row'] = $this->db->get('ci_images')->num_rows();
        $config['per_page'] = 9;
        $config['num_links'] = 20;
        

        $this->pagination->initialize($config);
        echo $this->pagination->create_links();

        $data['records'] = $this->db->get('ci_images', $config['per_page'], $this->uri->segment(3));
        $data['main_content'] = 'gallery_view';
        $this->load->view('includes/template', $data);


    }

}
?>

This is my view for testing purpose

Code:

<div id="container">

    <h1>This is the pagination</h1>

    &lt;?php
        
        echo $this->table->generate($records);
        echo $this->pagination->create_links();

    ?&gt;

</div>

This is how it turns out.

Alternatively I tried this after seeing one of the thread.

Code:

<?php

class gallery extends Controller {


    function index()
    {
        $this->load->library('pagination');
        $config['base_url'] = current_url();
        $config['total_row'] = $this->db->get('ci_images')->num_rows();
        $config['per_page'] = 9;
        $config['num_links'] = 20;
        

        $this->pagination->initialize($config);
        echo $this->pagination->create_links();

        $data['records'] = $this->db->get('ci_images', $config['per_page'], $this->uri->segment(3));
        $data['main_content'] = 'gallery_view';
        $this->load->view('includes/template', $data);


    }

}
?>

I heard it might be the base url problem, but again, only the pagination part does not appear. Hopefully someone can help me understand what is the problem. Thanks in advance.

You can read this article...

Thanks for your reply, im watching it now, hopefully it helps. If it matters, im using xampp, on windows machine with not .httacces.

[eluser]InsiteFX[/eluser]
I am running XAMPP 1.7.3 Windows Vista PHP 5.3.1 with no .htaccess

You may need the following:

$config['uri_segment'] = 3;

The 3 will be your last uri segment number.

Tried and doesnt work. I actually followed the coding style of Jeffrey Way without changing any important part, so im stumped at why mine does not work only at the pagination part. Where I did not change anything to the code.

Pagination Screencast

Just finished streaming all the screencast you gave me yesterday when I woke up this morning. Going to have a look soon.

It looks like you maybe passing false to your query since the 3rd uri segment may not be set.
Change

Code:

$data['records'] = $this->db->get('ci_images', $config['per_page'], $this->uri->segment(3));

To:

Code:

$data['records'] = $this->db->get('ci_images', $config['per_page'], $this->uri->segment(3,0));

This will pass an offset of 0 if the 3rd segment is not present

[eluser]Balistix[/eluser]
But that $data['records'] query is for generating table not pagination. But I'll try your method.

edited : tried, doesnt work

[eluser]pickupman[/eluser]
You also need to change:

Code:

$config['total_row'] = $this->db->get('ci_images')->num_rows();

To

Code:

$config['total_rows'] = $this->db->get('ci_images')->num_rows();

You were missing the "s" in total_rows. You also need the part I posted above, otherwise you are never passing an offset to start from.

Oh my.. I guess i missed that out. It worked now. Thanks for your help and sorry for the time wasted on silly mistakes.
