Code Igniter Pagination and URL passed method arguments - php

Question

My problem is that when I press on the pagination link the URL CHANGE and the segment array also so, first I started with this URL:
site/argument/argument
and when I press the pagination link the URL turn into:
site/method/startIndex.
Is there a way to use pagination without using the URL query index ?
EDIT:
Here is my controller method where I've receive the arguments from the URL:
function index ($par1, $par2 = null, $par3 = null)
{
$data['records'] = $this->site_model->getRecords($par1, $par2, $par3);
$this->load->view('main', $data);
}
And this is the Model method where I've do the DB query:
function getRecords($par1, $par2 = null, $par3 = null )
{
if (!isset($par2) && !isset($par3)) {
$where = "lvlOne = '".$par1."'";
} elseif(isset($par2) && !isset($par3)) {
$where = "lvlOne = '".$par1."' AND lvlTwo = '".$par2."'";
} elseif(isset($par2) && isset($par3)) {
$where = "lvlOne = '".$par1."' AND lvlTwo = '".$par2."' AND lvlThree = '".$par3."'";
}
$this->db->from('mph_products');
$this->db->where($where);
$query = $this->db->get();
return $query->result();
}
How can I paginate this results? Because I've got conflicts with the pagination library URL
EDIT:
I've found a way to do what I've wanted to.
There is a config option of the Pagination Library where you put the suffix of the pagination anchor and you can pass the arguments to it.
$config['suffix'] = "$arg1/$arg2/$arg3";

This library codeigniter pagination + bootstrap design
<?php
class Paginacao
{
public $CI;
function __construct() {
$this->CI = &get_instance();
$this->CI->load->library('pagination');
}
function criar($total_rows,$base_url,$per_page=15,$num_links=5)
{
$paginacao['total_rows'] = $total_rows;
$paginacao['base_url'] = site_url($base_url);
$paginacao['per_page'] = $per_page;
$paginacao['num_links'] = $num_links;
$paginacao['full_tag_open'] = '<br /><div class="pagination pagination-centered"><ul>';
$paginacao['full_tag_close'] = '</ul></div>';
$paginacao['first_link'] = 'Primeira';
$paginacao['first_tag_open'] = '<li>';
$paginacao['first_tag_close'] = '<li>';
$paginacao['last_link'] = 'Ultima';
$paginacao['last_tag_open'] = '<li>';
$paginacao['last_tag_close'] = '</li>';
$paginacao['next_link'] = 'Próximo';
$paginacao['next_tag_open'] = '<li>';
$paginacao['next_tag_close'] = '</li>';
$paginacao['prev_link'] = 'Anterior';
$paginacao['prev_tag_open'] = '<li>';
$paginacao['prev_tag_close'] = '</li>';
$paginacao['cur_tag_open'] = '<li class="active"><a href="#">';
$paginacao['cur_tag_close'] = '</a></li>';
$paginacao['num_tag_open'] = '<li>';
$paginacao['num_tag_close'] = '</li>';
$this->CI->pagination->initialize($paginacao);
$html = $this->CI->pagination->create_links();
return $html;
}
}

As I understand, you want not to see page number in url, but CI Pagination class always add number to link. For more details see Pagination class.
Also you can use jquery datatable for client or server pagination.
