Hi,
This hasn’t been fully tested yet, but this should give you the ability to have pagination with links like this example
[1][2][3] [7][8][9] [20][21][22]
You can also customize the the amount of links on each end with new variables
show_first_int
show_last_int
example usage
$config['show_first_int'] = '3';
$config['show_last_int'] = '3';
Library below which extends ci’s pagination class.
File Attached. If you find bugs let me know.
