Pagnation with GET data in the uri - Codeigniter

codeigniter, pagination

Solution

As I'm sure you know, URIs don't work like that. The query string must be at the end (or before a `#` hash fragment). This query string:

questions/search?content=foobar/4

Means `$_GET['content'] = 'foobar/4';`

You need to change your pagination URLs to something like this:

questions/search/4/?content=foobar

The `/` after the 4 there is also optional.

You'll have to remove the query string from your pagination's `$config['base_url']` and instead append it to the links in the view, which sadly involves hacking the pagination class...

Or try this undocumented feature:

// After loading the pagination class
$this->pagination->suffix = '{YOUR QUERY STRING}';

Or better yet, just add `$config['suffix'] = '{YOUR QUERY STRING}';` to your config before loading the class. This should automatically add the query string to every link's `href`.

Some adjustments to your config area also needed:

// Make sure to encode these
// $config['first_link'] = '<<';
$config['first_link'] = '&lt;&lt;';
// $config['last_link'] = '>>';
$config['last_link'] = '&gt;&gt;';

$offset = $this->uri->segment(3);
// Default URI segment is 3, and it's what you use above. Remove this.
// $config['uri_segment'] = 2;

// This should be FALSE (default). Remove it.
// $config['page_query_string'] = TRUE;

// This should be FALSE (default) if you're
// using the URI segment as your OFFSET. Remove it.
// $config['use_page_numbers'] = TRUE;

// Add your query string
$config['suffix'] = '?content='.$content;
$config['base_url'] = base_url().'questions/search/';
$this->pagination->initialize($config);
