[SOLVED] Filtering results - how to re-set filter to show all

[eluser]LuckyFella73[/eluser]
For the "loosing the post var problem":
You have to set up form_validation in your controller
and repopulate the dropdown fields. That way you don't loose
the values anymore. If no rule (form_validation) really
fits, just take "trim" for you have to set up a rule
if you want to repopulate.

Have to leave office soon ... - hope you get it to work.

PS:

Code:

// Controller
$this->load->library('form_validation');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('gyartok', 'Whatever 2', 'trim');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('sorrend', 'Whatever 2', 'trim');

Please look at the user guide for details of repopulating the select
part - unfortunately I don't have the time just now - otherwise I would
like to set up the code for you.

So Lucky bro' .. solved with guessed method: when filter is set, i store filter in a ci_session AND the currend uri string also. beginning of the controller is a check, that checks if the current uri is the same as the stored. if not, ie: i changed category, then unsets the session, and all go well.

but my pagination freakshow is waiting to accomplish, ehh..

EDIT: I just saw your post, yes repopulate is a good solution, I'll check thoroughly my solution and when it's not OK, go to form thing.

Okay lotta of hours but done!

My second problem was the pagination after filtering, and sorting. If I'm not blind until now, I see that the total_rows always gets the same value of query result by default. I set a ci session from the (get)->num_rows(). When I sort or filter, I use this stored session for the total_rows config option, when not, I use the default database query (all products listed by category).

If someone have been ever met with same problems.. maybe helps

Thanks LF noch einmal!
