Well, while I havent used the pagination class with CI I have used pagination in other things as well as written custom pagination classes for use without any MVC or template engines.
I've taken a quick look at the pagination class, and first thing you'd have to change it:
var $per_page = 10; // Max number of items you want shown per page
would need to be in your controller before the query itself..
2nd thing in your controller you'd need to SELECT COUNT(*) FROM tbl WHERE to get the total count... once you get the count you'd need to get the total pages... CI pagination class does this through use of:
// Calculate the total number of pages
$num_pages = ceil($this->total_rows / $this->per_page);
in the create_links function... you could use the prebuilt functionality to do it just fine really...
I imagine you'd then change this:
Code:
if ($n == '' && $this->first_url != '')
{
$output .= $this->num_tag_open.'<a >anchor_class.'href="'.$this->first_url.'">'.$loop.'</a>'.$this->num_tag_close;
}
else
{
$n = ($n == '') ? '' : $this->prefix.$n.$this->suffix;
$output .= $this->num_tag_open.'<a >anchor_class.'href="'.$this->base_url.$n.'">'.$loop.'</a>'.$this->num_tag_close;
}
to this
Code:
if ($n == '' && $this->first_url != '')
{
$output .= $this->num_tag_open.'<a >anchor_class.'href="'.$loop.'">'.$loop.'</a>'.$this->num_tag_close;
}
else
{
$n = ($n == '') ? '' : $this->prefix.$n.$this->suffix;
$output .= $this->num_tag_open.'<a >anchor_class.'href="'.$this->base_url.$loop.'">'.$loop.'</a>'.$this->num_tag_close;
}
doing that, would at least get the URL's to look correctly... the math involved in finding the offset would be up to you to figure out...
