about pagination library

hi everyone..

i used codeigniter for 3 years ago and i was so happy with this ..when i stopped i tried to learn another framework..like (laravel-cakephp)

now i am in home again but i have many thoughts to improve codeigniter like i saw before in other frameworks...

the big thing i you will noticed when you learn other frameworks i pagination

pagination in codeigniter still confused and big code like this :

PHP Code:

/**
     *  display all items in datagrid.
     */
    public function overview($row = 0) {

        $this->load->library('pagination');

        $config['base_url'] = base_url() . "items/admin_items/overview";
        $config['total_rows'] = $this->items->getTotalItems();
        $config['per_page'] = '10';
        $config['uri_segment'] = 4;
        $config['full_tag_open'] = '<div class="pages">';
        $config['full_tag_close'] = '</div>';

        $config['cur_tag_open'] = '<a href="javascript:void(0)" class="current">';
        $config['cur_tag_close'] = '</a>';

        $config['first_link'] = '&lt;&lt; الأولى';
        $config['last_link'] = 'الأخيرة &gt;&gt;';

        $this->pagination->initialize($config);

        $data['row'] = $row;
        $data['total_rows'] = $this->items->getTotalItems();
        $data['links'] = $this->pagination->create_links();

        $data['items'] = $this->items->get_items($row, "add");
        $this->view('items/items_list', $data);
    } 


but in laravel i just need one line like this

PHP Code:

public function show(){
    $photos = Photo::paginate(10);
    return View::make('photos.show', array('photos' => $photos));
} 


can you improve pagination library in CI 3 version

This lib class is really nasty..
Its not going to be at 3.0 but perhaps in next version it will be good to be updated..
P.S > pagination in Laravel is not so simple as you describe it but its a lot easier than CI ..

On the subject of Pagination, it would be nice to have a way of doing a "Load more..." link, which simply retrieves additional items, rather than a whole page refresh.

I understand the pros and cons for this, but a simple option would also be nice.

ok..that what i mean...i hope they will update it as soon as possible..i hate to define uri_segment and baseurl and total_rows every time and write all this lines
