Search result and pagination class

[eluser]JanDoToDo[/eluser]
Hey guys.

Just thought I'd throw this out there - I do something very simple.

I just get the values which are used to search, and then write a form which is submitted when you change links.

I extended the pagination class to have another function "create_links_alt" and further i write a form when it gets the paginated data.

Code:

$form = form_open('search/index/');
        
    $form .= form_hidden('gender', $gender);
    $form .= form_hidden('photo', $photo);
    $form .= form_hidden('region', $region);
    if ($alt_search) $form .= form_hidden('alt_search', 'TRUE');
    $form .= form_close();

    $search['links'] = $this -> pagination -> create_links_alt();
}

So the form target would be the controller/method and the hidden fields would be the vars you want passed, e.g. from the uri variables or posted variables from a previous form.

Then, I just use my pagination library extension which changes the links to submit the form instead of just go to the next page!

If you want to get the pagination extension let me know
