Documentations

• Pagination Class Documentation CodeIgniter 3.x <http://codeigniter.com/userguide3/libraries/pagination.html>_
• :doc:Pagination Documentation CodeIgniter 4.x </libraries/pagination>

What has been changed

• You have to change the views and also the controller in order to use the new pagination library.
• If you want to customize the pagination links, you need to create View Templates.
• In CI4 the pagination uses the actual page number only. You can't use the starting index (offset) for the items which is the default in CI3.
• If you use :doc:CodeIgnite\\Model </models/model>, you can use the built-in method in the Model class.

Upgrade Guide

1. Within the views change to following:

   • <?php echo $this->pagination->create_links(); ?> to <?= $pager->links() ?>

2. Within the controller you have to make the following changes:

   • You can use the built-in paginate() method on every Model. Have a look at the code example below to see how you setup the pagination on a specific model.
