So I have a page that lists sales leads, this page has a filter form that users submit to filter the list so that it only displays data they choose (as filter criteria), it also has pagination, whenever I use the pagination (as in click on one of the links) and then use the filter, the filter doesn't work, I feel like the problem resides either in the base_url config of the pagination or the uri_segment, as when I post the filter data it is supposed to call a function (filter) which obviously changes the last uri segment from 'list' to 'filter', which happens fine when I don't use pagination, but when I use it and then use the filter it just appends 'filter' to the end, so I end up with 'lists/filter' which isn't right, how can I solve this? :s I've tried removing/changing the uri_segment, is there anyway I can modify the base_url variable of the pagination config to allow it to work? Also when I click on any link that isn't the first page, the number of results displays in my uri, will this affect anything?
Relevant code: Controller:
public function lists($offset = 0) {
$this->load->library('pagination');
$limit = 13;
$this->load->model('listsalemod'); //load the model that contains the database functionality.
$lead = $this->listsalemod->listlead($limit, $offset); //load the function that lists leads and pass it to a variable
$cli = $this->listsalemod->listcli(); //load the function that lists clents and pass it to a variable
$data = array(); //create an array
$data['lead'] = $lead['records']; //pass lead data to array
$data['cli'] = $cli; //pass client data to array
$config['base_url'] = site_url('list_sales/lists');
$config['total_rows'] = $lead['count'];
$config['per_page'] = 13;
$config['uri_segment'] = 3;
$this->pagination->initialize($config);
$this->load->library('pagination');
$data['pagination'] = $this->pagination->create_links();
$this->load->view('list_sales', $data); //load the view and pass in the data.
View:
<body>
<div id="container">
<form method="post" action="filter">
BFstaff <input type=text name="staff">
date: <input type=text name="date">
Client <input type=text name="client">
<input type="submit" value="submit">
</form>
<table id="table">
<tr>
<th>short description</th>
<th>Client</th>
<th>Created</th>
<th>view</th>
<div id="pagination">
<?php
echo $pagination;
?>
Thank you in advance.
