Search & Pagination

[eluser]Twisted1919[/eluser]
Salut
You could try like this :

Code:

function some_function($criteriul_1='all',$criteriul_2='all',$criteriul3='all')
{
    $count_results = $this->model->count_something($criteriul_1,$criteriul_2,$criteriul_3);
    [...]
}

I mean, give your function the params that you expect to have for search(if you have too many params go with func_get_args() ), and give them a default value,that will help you when you will make the pagination:

Code:

$config['base_url']        = site_url().'/controller/method/'.$criteriul_1.'/'.$criteriul_2.'/'.$criteriul_3.'/;
$config['uri_segment']     = 6;

The model function needs to look something like :

Code:

if($criteriul_1 != 'all'){
  //add here a query part that includes $criteriul_1
}
if($criteriul_2 != 'all'){
// same
}
if( $criteriul_3 != 'all' ){
//same
}

This example is only as an idea, just open your eyes, you will get it .
Let me know if you have question .
