Alternate Pagination class
Category:Core | Category:Core::Community | Category:Core::Pagination
This alternate pagination lib (Requires PHP5) uses page numbers in the URI as opposed to the offsets used by the stock class. Where the default CI class returns a html string, this class returns an array to be formatted by your own templates or views.
This is the library init code
application/init/init_altpage.php
<?php if (!defined('BASEPATH')) exit('Direct access not permitted!');
if (! class_exists('Altpage')){
include_once(APPPATH.'libraries/Altpage'.EXT);
}
$obj =& get_instance();
$obj->altpage = new Altpage();
$obj->ci_is_loaded[] = 'altpage';
?>This is the lib itself.

<?php
/* CI License & stuff */
class Altpage {
public $page = 0;
public $per_page = 20;
public $total = 0;
public $uri_segment;
private $_link_uri = '';
public function __construct($p=array()){
if (count($p) > 0) $this->init($p);
log_message('debug', 'Altpage Class Initialized');
}
public function init($p){
foreach($p as $k => $v){ $this->$k = $v; }
}
private function _setLinkURI(){
$obj =& get_instance();
$segs = $obj->uri->segment_array();
if ($this->page < 1){
if (isset($segs[$this->uri_segment])){
$this->page = (int) $segs[$this->uri_segment];
} else {
$this->page = 1;
}
}
$segs[$this->uri_segment] = '%d';
$this->_link_uri = $obj->config->item('base_url').implode('/', $segs);
}
private function _getLink($page){
return (string) sprintf($this->_link_uri, $page);
}
public function create_links(){
$num_pages = (int) ceil($this->total / $this->per_page);
if ($this->total == 0 OR $this->per_page == 0 OR $num_pages < 2) return '';
$this->_setLinkURI();
$pg=array();
/* Upto 2 pages either side + current page */

if ($t===false){

if (($this->page - $i) > 0){
$pg['pages'][$this->page - $i] = $this->_getLink($this->page - $i);
}

}
}

}
}
$pg['next'] = ($t)? $this->_getLink($this->page + 1): '';
$pg['last'] = ($t)? $this->_getLink($num_pages): '';
return $pg;
}
}
?>Here's the simple controller
application/controllers/testpagination.php
<php
class Testpagination extends Controller {
function index(){
$this->load->library('altpage');
$_p['total'] = 200; /* Total results */
$_p['per_page'] = 20; /* Results Per Page */
$_p['uri_segment']=2; /* Used to read and set pages */
$this->altpage->init($_p);
/* Pass pagination as array to the view */
$this->load->view('pgtest', array('pagination'=>$this->altpage->create_links()));
}
}
?>Here's the example view in customized paper, [http://customresearchpapers.co.uk/| academic writing] and custom essays complete with example CSS, note how the current page is handled in the loop because you'll need to deal with this in your template or view.
