How can I integrate pagination to my search in CodeIgniter? - php

Question

I've used codeigniter to make an easy search, no ajax or something, and I want to integrate the pagination class, I have read some examples and they use a library like this $this->table->generate($results); and I need in each result a button to edit that entry. I already did, but now with that way of showing the pagination I have a big problem, please, could anyone help me with this issue? I just need a clue or something to find in CI
I put here my model, controller and view, just in case
controller
public function searchdescription()
{
//$keyword = $this->input->post('keyword');
$keyword = $_POST['keyword'];
$this->load->model('searchdesc/searchdesc_model');
$data['retorno'] = $this->searchdesc_model->querydb($keyword);
$this->load->view('searchdesc/searchresults_view', $data);
}
model
function querydb($data,$num, $offset)
{
$queryresult = $this->db->query("select * from data where deleteflag=0 and title like '%$data%' or text like '%$data%' LIMIT $num, $offset ");
return $queryresult->result_array();
}
view
foreach ($retorno as $val)
{
echo $val['id'];
echo $val['title'];
echo $val['text'];
...here are some forms autocreated in each row that i need to keep making it
}

Here is an example (not using a model)
public function big()
{
$this->load->library('pagination');
$this->load->library('table');
$config['base_url'] = base_url().'/site/big/';
$where = "bot = '2' OR bot = '0'";
$this->db->where($where);
$config['total_rows'] = $this->db->count_all_results('visitors');
$config['per_page'] = 15;
//$config['num_links'] = 20;
$config['full_tag_open'] = '<div id="pagination">';
$config['full_tag_close'] = '</div>';
$this->pagination->initialize($config);
$where = "bot = '2' OR bot = '0'";
$this->db->where($where);
$this->db->select('id, ip, date, page, host, agent, spammer, country, total, refer');
$this->db->order_by("date", "DESC");
$data['records'] = $this->db->get('visitors', $config['per_page'], $this->uri->segment(3));
$this->table->set_heading('Id', 'IP', 'Date', 'Page', 'Host', 'Agent', 'Spam', 'Country', 'Total', 'Referer');
$this->db->select_sum('total', 'trips');
$query = $this->db->get('visitors');
$data['trips'] = $query->result();
$this->load->view('site_view', $data);
}
In the view where I want the table:
<?php echo $this->table->generate($records); ?>
<?php echo $this->pagination->create_links(); ?>
to add buttons in the rows do something like this
foreach($records as $row){
$row->title = ucwords($row->title);
$this->table->add_row(
$row->date,
anchor("main/blog_view/$row->id", $row->title),
$row->status,
anchor("main/delete/$row->id", $row->id, array('onClick' => "return confirm('Are you sure you want to delete?')")),
anchor("main/fill_form/$row->id", $row->id)
);
}
$table = $this->table->generate();
echo $table;
Of course you will modify to fit your needs
