CodeIgniter pagination customization - php

Question

I need to customize codeigniter pagination. Currently pagination on my site is working like this. (I am using CI pagination library)
I want my pagination to look and work like this
What can I do with codeigniter's pagination library for this?
Is there already any customized library on internet? Or I have to create my own?
My $config array is
$config['first_link'] = false;
$config['last_link'] = false;
$config ['prev_link'] = '<i class="fa fa-caret-left"></i>';
$config ['next_link'] = '<i class="fa fa-caret-right"></i>';
$config ['num_links'] = 2;
$config ['base_url'] = 'My base url';
$config ['total_rows'] = 50;
$config ["per_page"] = 10;
$config ["uri_segment"] = 4;
$config ['use_page_numbers'] = TRUE;

Answer 1

Finally I came up with the solution by extending CI pagination library.
Created new class Mypagination and overrided the default create_links() method.
Here is the code
class Mypagination extends CI_Pagination {
function __construct()
{
parent::__construct();
}
public function create_links()
{
// If our item count or per-page total is zero there is no need to continue.
// Note: DO NOT change the operator to === here!
if ($this->total_rows == 0 OR $this->per_page == 0)
{
return '';
}
// Calculate the total number of pages
$num_pages = (int) ceil($this->total_rows / $this->per_page);
// Is there only one page? Hm... nothing more to do here then.
if ($num_pages === 1)
{
return '';
}
// Check the user defined number of links.
$this->num_links = (int) $this->num_links;
if ($this->num_links < 0)
{
show_error('Your number of links must be a non-negative number.');
}
// Keep any existing query string items.
// Note: Has nothing to do with any other query string option.
if ($this->reuse_query_string === TRUE)
{
$get = $this->CI->input->get();
// Unset the controll, method, old-school routing options
unset($get['c'], $get['m'], $get[$this->query_string_segment]);
}
else
{
$get = array();
}
// Put together our base and first URLs.
// Note: DO NOT append to the properties as that would break successive calls
$base_url = trim($this->base_url);
$first_url = $this->first_url;
$query_string = '';
$query_string_sep = (strpos($base_url, '?') === FALSE) ? '?' : '&';
// Are we using query strings?
if ($this->page_query_string === TRUE)
{
// If a custom first_url hasn't been specified, we'll create one from
// the base_url, but without the page item.
if ($first_url === '')
{
$first_url = $base_url;
// If we saved any GET items earlier, make sure they're appended.
if ( ! empty($get))
{
$first_url .= $query_string_sep.http_build_query($get);
}
}
// Add the page segment to the end of the query string, where the
// page number will be appended.
$base_url .= $query_string_sep.http_build_query(array_merge($get, array($this->query_string_segment => '')));
}
else
{
// Standard segment mode.
// Generate our saved query string to append later after the page number.
if ( ! empty($get))
{
$query_string = $query_string_sep.http_build_query($get);
$this->suffix .= $query_string;
}
// Does the base_url have the query string in it?
// If we're supposed to save it, remove it so we can append it later.
if ($this->reuse_query_string === TRUE && ($base_query_pos = strpos($base_url, '?')) !== FALSE)
{
$base_url = substr($base_url, 0, $base_query_pos);
}
if ($first_url === '')
{
$first_url = $base_url.$query_string;
}
$base_url = rtrim($base_url, '/').'/';
}
// Determine the current page number.
$base_page = ($this->use_page_numbers) ? 1 : 0;
// Are we using query strings?
if ($this->page_query_string === TRUE)
{
$this->cur_page = $this->CI->input->get($this->query_string_segment);
}
else
{
// Default to the last segment number if one hasn't been defined.
if ($this->uri_segment === 0)
{
$this->uri_segment = count($this->CI->uri->segment_array());
}
$this->cur_page = $this->CI->uri->segment($this->uri_segment);
// Remove any specified prefix/suffix from the segment.
if ($this->prefix !== '' OR $this->suffix !== '')
{
$this->cur_page = str_replace(array($this->prefix, $this->suffix), '', $this->cur_page);
}
}

{

}
else
{
// Make sure we're using integers for comparisons later.
$this->cur_page = (int) $this->cur_page;

// Is the page number beyond the result range?
// If so, we show the last page.

}
$uri_page_number = $this->cur_page;
// If we're using offset instead of page numbers, convert it
// to a page number, so we can generate the surrounding number links.
if ( ! $this->use_page_numbers)
{
$this->cur_page = (int) floor(($this->cur_page/$this->per_page) + 1);
}
// Calculate the start and end numbers. These determine
// which number to start and end the digit links with.
$start = (($this->cur_page - $this->num_links) > 0) ? $this->cur_page - ($this->num_links - 1) : 1;

Use
$config['num_links'] = 4;
in your $config array.
