It is passed to +the $this->pagination->initialize function as shown above. Although +there are some twenty items you can configure, at minimum you need the +three shown. Here is a description of what those items represent: + +- **base_url** This is the full URL to the controller class/function + containing your pagination. In the example above, it is pointing to a + controller called "Test" and a function called "page". Keep in mind + that you can :doc:`re-route your URI <../general/routing>` if you + need a different structure. +- **total_rows** This number represents the total rows in the result + set you are creating pagination for. Typically this number will be + the total rows that your database query returned. +- **per_page** The number of items you intend to show per page. In the + above example, you would be showing 20 items per page. + +The create_links() function returns an empty string when there is no +pagination to show. + +Setting preferences in a config file +==================================== + +If you prefer not to set preferences using the above method, you can +instead put them into a config file. Simply create a new file called +pagination.php, add the $config array in that file. Then save the file +in: config/pagination.php and it will be used automatically. You will +NOT need to use the $this->pagination->initialize function if you save +your preferences in a config file. + +************************** +Customizing the Pagination +************************** + +The following is a list of all the preferences you can pass to the +initialization function to tailor the display. + +$config['uri_segment'] = 3; +============================ + +The pagination function automatically determines which segment of your +URI contains the page number. If you need something different you can +specify it. + +$config['num_links'] = 2; +========================== + +The number of "digit" links you would like before and after the selected +page number. For example, the number 2 will place two digits on either +side, as in the example links at the very top of this page. + +$config['use_page_number'] = TRUE; +================================== + +By default, the URI segment will use the starting index for the items +you are paginating. If you prefer to show the the actual page number, +set this to TRUE. + +$config['page_query_string'] = TRUE; +==================================== + +By default, the pagination library assume you are using :doc:`URI +Segments <../general/urls>`, and constructs your links something +like + +:: + + http://example.com/index.php/test/page/20 + + +If you have $config['enable_query_strings'] set to TRUE your links +will automatically be re-written using Query Strings. This option can +also be explictly set. Using $config['page_query_string'] set to TRUE, +the pagination link will become. + +:: + + http://example.com/index.php?c=test&m=page&per_page=20 + + +Note that "per_page" is the default query string passed, however can be +configured using $config['query_string_segment'] = 'your_string' + +*********************** +Adding Enclosing Markup +*********************** + +If you would like to surround the entire pagination with some markup you +can do it with these two prefs: + +$config['full_tag_open'] = '<p>'; +=================================== + +The opening tag placed on the left side of the entire result. + +$config['full_tag_close'] = '</p>'; +===================================== + +The closing tag placed on the right side of the entire result. + +************************** +Customizing the First Link +************************** + +$config['first_link'] = 'First'; +================================= + +The text you would like shown in the "first" link on the left.
