pagination suffix doesn't work on previous links

Question

hi this in my pagination code

$config['base_url']    = base_url().'cp/orders/';
$config['suffix'] = '?'.http_build_query($_GET, '', "&");
$config['uri_segment'] = 3;
$config['total_rows']  = $count_all;
$config['per_page']    = 20 ;
$this->pagination->initialize($config);
echo $this->pagination->create_links();

so in the first page it works fine when i click on page2 it goes to

http://mysite.com/cp/orders/20?sort=id&adc=desc

but in the second page if i click on page one or previous page ( < ) it goes to

http://mysite.com/cp/orders/20

this

$config['suffix'] = '?'.http_build_query($_GET, '', "&");

doesn't work in the previous links!

Answer 1

I found and fixed a bug that was related to the first page links being inconsistent with the rest of the page links. I'd suggest extending the Pagination library with the current version in the Github repo until CodeIgniter 3.0 is released, at which point it will be built-in and you can remove your extended lib.

The new version also has a config option called reuse_query_string, which when set to TRUE will keep any existing query strings. So if they are already present when you reach the page, you do not need to worry about specifying them as a suffix.

$config['reuse_query_string'] = TRUE;

Answer 2

You can set the first_url as following if you don't want to change the library:

$config['first_url'] = $config['base_url'] . $config['suffix'];
