Pagination Config file Help

[eluser]mikeymayhem[/eluser]
Hi,

just a quick question, I've moved my pagination config array into a file called pagination.php and saved it in the config/ folder as described in the user gallery. As I have pagination throughout my website I was trying to figure out how to make this re_usable.

Code:

/*
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|    1 base_url                                                               |
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
*/

    $config['base_url'] = $base_url;
    //IE http://www.example.com/news/

/*
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|    2 Total num of items                                                     |
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
*/

    $config['total_rows'] = $total;
    //the total number of items being paginated

/*
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|    3 per page                                                               |
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
*/

    $config['per_page'] = $per_page;
    //total number items to be displayed per page

/*
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|    4 uri segment                                                            |
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
*/

    $config['uri_segment'] = $segment;
    //the segemnt of the url to be used in pull items
    //from the database ie www.eample.com/seg1/seg2/seg3/seg4

The above code is from my pagination config file, basically I have four variables I need to make this config file re-usable throughout my site, $base_url,$per_page,$total and $segment. How can I achieve this if it is at all possible!

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Load the pagination library, it should load the pagination.php

Also you can not use the string values!

You will not need to use the $this->pagination->initialize function.

hey thanks for the reply,

maybe i was abit unclear, im simply wondering if i can set the values of the variables shown above IE
$config['base_url'] = $base_url;

outside of the pagination.php file so i could simply have the one config file for every time i use the pagination library and make it re-usable by setting the values i need for each specific time i use pagination in the variables $base_url,$per_page etc outside of the config/pagination file.

Code:

$this->config->set_item('item_name', 'item_value');

But you may need to load the pagination.php file.

hi tried out your suggestion and it worked however its probably just as much code as having the config array in the controller so i guess its a bit pointless! Thanks for the help though
