[quote author="anodyne sea" date="1304673095"]yup, i'm using this with CI2
i think you better clear all config except ‘base_url’, ‘total_rows’ and 'uri_segment'
see whether your pagination works properly with basic Pagination library config..[/quote]

Already done all that. That's the problem, the pagination works with the basic config, but does not show the default 'first' and 'last' page links and refuses to accept my custom config items...I've even checked the pagination class itself and verified that the default options are set in the class itself.

I'm going to get a fresh ci2 install and see if the problem still persists.
