Pagination Issue

[eluser]Kraig[/eluser]
I am having some issues displaying the pagination with my query results. The results were working how they were supposed too, but not when I try to add CI pagination. The pagination library and url helper are loaded in the constructor
My Model:

Code:

public function cat_page($limit, $start, $catID)
{
  if($catID == 0){
   $query = $this->db->query('SELECT * FROM upload LIMIT '.$limit.', '.$start);
  }else{
   $query = $this->db->query('SELECT * FROM upload WHERE category = '.$catID.'  LIMIT '.$limit.', '.$start);
  }
  $val = $query->result_array();
  $this->num_rows = $query->num_rows;

  if ($this->num_rows() > 0) {
        foreach ($query->result() as $row) {
           $data[] = $row;
        }
        return $data;
   }
   return false;
}

My home controller function being called:

Code:

public function catSelector()
{
  $this->catID = $_GET['cat'];
    // Pagination!!!
   $config = array();
   $config["base_url"] = base_url() . "home/";
   $config["total_rows"] = $this->membership_model->num_rows;
   $config["per_page"] = 5;
   $config["uri_segment"] = 3;

   $this->pagination->initialize($config);
   $page = ($this->uri->segment(3)) ? $this->uri->segment(3) : 0;
   $data["results"] = $this->membership_model->
        cat_page($config["per_page"], $page, $this->catID);
   $data["links"] = $this->pagination->create_links();
  
  echo '<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
   <tr>
    <th width="50%">File Name:</th>
    <th width="30%">File Size:</th>
    <th>Download Link:</th>
   </tr>';

  $c = true;
  foreach($data["results"] as $files){
   echo '<tr'.(($c = !$c)?' class="odd"':'').">
    <td>$files[name]</td>
    <td>$files[size]</td>
    <td><a href='$files[location]'>Download</a></td>
   </tr>";
  }
        
       echo '</table><br ';
    
    $this->load->view("home", $data);
}

I'm also having an issue with the the last line of the controller function ($this->load->view("home", $data).

My View: An Ajax feature that grabs the uploads based on category. This works....just not with the new editions of the pagination

Code:

......
[removed]
function showUser(str) {
  if (window.XMLHttpRequest) {// code for IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari
    xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest();
  }
  else {// code for IE6, IE5
    xmlhttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
  }
  xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=function() {
    if (xmlhttp.readyState==4 && xmlhttp.status==200) {
   document.getElementById("tars")[removed]=xmlhttp.responseText;
    }
  }
  xmlhttp.open("GET","home/catSelector?cat="+str,true);
  xmlhttp.onload = table_design;
  xmlhttp.send();
}
[removed]
.......

This is my home page and so in my index() function I load a template..wont that cause re-directs?. Does it look like I'm on the right track?? Thanks for your help!!

Try to feed the pagination with data manually. Create an array in the code and give it to the library.
Btw: dont put out html in the controller, just load a view to display the page. I would suggest you to use a js framework, not just using pure js.

Right now my AJAX Select Category, along with the requested results and pagination numbers works. My issue now is the $config['base_url'] as you can see below. This function and the index are both in my home controller.

Code:

public function catSelector()
{
  if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST') {
   $catID = $_POST['cat'];
  }else{
   $catID = 0;
  }
  
  // Pagination!!!
  $data['things'] = $this->membership_model->cat_page($catID);

  $config['base_url'] = base_url().'home/catSelector';
  $config['total_rows'] = $this->membership_model->num_rows;
  $config['per_page'] = 5;
  $this->pagination->initialize($config);
  
  $data['pagination'] =  $this->pagination->create_links();
  echo $this->membership_model->num_rows;
  $this->load->view('test', $data);
}

So everything works..and then I click on one of the links for the next page, and I loose all of my index() function data. Which of course has my template...so catSelector is the function above and it runs then loads test.php, which is merely a page to display the query results. How can I load the test.php without losing my index template when a page link is clicked? Below is my index function

Code:

function index()
{
  // Grabbing Categories
  $q = $this->upload_model->category();
        $data['fileCategory'] = $q;
  
  // Grabbing topMembers info
  $q = $this->membership_model->user_info();
        $data['user_info'] = $q;
  //$this->catSelector();
  
  // Grabbing news
  $q = $this->news_model->home_news();
        $data['home_news'] = $q;
  
  $is_logged_in = $this->loggedin->loggedin();
  if(!$is_logged_in)
  {
   $data['main_content'] = 'home';
   $this->load->view('includes/template', $data);
  }
  else
  {
   $data['main_content'] = 'home';
   $this->load->view('includes/template', $data);
  }

}
