Codeigniter 3.1.0 & Bootstrap Pagination Links

On my codeigniter pagination links I am using bootstrap 3 +

When I am on the very first link it hides the << which goes back to start when I click on it.

1 2 >>

Question How can I make the codeigniter pagination all ways display << >> I have tried Always show Previous & Next links using CodeIgniter Pagination Class but is for CI2 

$config['base_url'] = base_url('forum/?fid=' . $this->input->get('fid') . $url);
$config['total_rows'] = $this->thread_model->total_threads($this->input->get('fid'));
$config['per_page'] = $this->config->item('config_limit_admin');
$config['page_query_string'] = TRUE;

$config["full_tag_open"] = '<ul class="pagination">';
$config["full_tag_close"] = '</ul>';    
$config["first_link"] = "&laquo;";
$config["first_tag_open"] = "<li>";
$config["first_tag_close"] = "</li>";
$config["last_link"] = "&raquo;";
$config["last_tag_open"] = "<li>";
$config["last_tag_close"] = "</li>";

$config['cur_tag_close'] = '</a></li>';
$config['num_tag_open'] = '<li>';
$config['num_tag_close'] = '</li>';

$this->pagination->initialize($config);

$data['pagination'] = $this->pagination->create_links();
Solution

  • I have just override the create_links() of core library in slightly different way to achieve this. So All you have to do is create a file name My_Pagination.php inapplication/libraries and put this code there (Code copied from create_link() method from core library Pagination.php)

    My_Pagination.php file (Codeigniter 3.1.0)

    defined('BASEPATH') OR exit('No direct script access allowed');

class MY_Pagination extends CI_Pagination {

public function create_links() {

    if ($this->total_rows == 0 OR $this->per_page == 0) {
        return '';
    }

    // Calculate the total number of pages
    $num_pages = (int) ceil($this->total_rows / $this->per_page);

    if ($num_pages === 1) {
        return '';
    }

    // Check the user defined number of links.
    $this->num_links = (int) $this->num_links;

    if ($this->num_links < 0) {
        show_error('Your number of links must be a non-negative number.');
    }

    // Keep any existing query string items.
    // Note: Has nothing to do with any other query string option.
    if ($this->reuse_query_string === TRUE) {
        $get = $this->CI->input->get();

        // Unset the controll, method, old-school routing options
        unset($get['c'], $get['m'], $get[$this->query_string_segment]);
    } else {
        $get = array();
    }

    // Put together our base and first URLs.
    // Note: DO NOT append to the properties as that would break successive calls
    $base_url = trim($this->base_url);
    $first_url = $this->first_url;

    $query_string = '';
    $query_string_sep = (strpos($base_url, '?') === FALSE) ? '?' : '&amp;';

    // Are we using query strings?
    if ($this->page_query_string === TRUE) {
        // If a custom first_url hasn't been specified, we'll create one from
        // the base_url, but without the page item.
        if ($first_url === '') {
            $first_url = $base_url;

            // If we saved any GET items earlier, make sure they're appended.
            if (!empty($get)) {
                $first_url .= $query_string_sep . http_build_query($get);
            }
        }

        // Add the page segment to the end of the query string, where the
        // page number will be appended.
        $base_url .= $query_string_sep . http_build_query(array_merge($get, array($this->query_string_segment => '')));
    } else {
        // Standard segment mode.
        // Generate our saved query string to append later after the page number.
        if (!empty($get)) {
            $query_string = $query_string_sep . http_build_query($get);
            $this->suffix .= $query_string;
        }

        // Does the base_url have the query string in it?
        // If we're supposed to save it, remove it so we can append it later.
        if ($this->reuse_query_string === TRUE && ($base_query_pos = strpos($base_url, '?')) !== FALSE) {

        }

        $this->cur_page = $this->CI->uri->segment($this->uri_segment);

        // Remove any specified prefix/suffix from the segment.
        if ($this->prefix !== '' OR $this->suffix !== '') {
            $this->cur_page = str_replace(array($this->prefix, $this->suffix), '', $this->cur_page);

    }

    // Calculate the start and end numbers. These determine
    // which number to start and end the digit links with.
    $start = (($this->cur_page - $this->num_links) > 0) ? $this->cur_page - ($this->num_links - 1) : 1;

}

    Just removed 2 condition

    1. $this->cur_page !== 1 (This is below // Render the "Previous" link COMMENT)
    2. $this->cur_page < $num_pages (This is below // Render the "next" link COMMENT)

    Added 2 condition

    1. if ($i === $base_page){... changed this as if ($i === $base_page || $this->cur_page == 1) {...

    2. Added this inside if ($this->next_link !== FALSE) {... condition

          if($this->cur_page == $num_pages){
        $i = $num_pages;
    }

    None you have to do except putting this file in libraries directory and now your << and >> links will show always even you may change it in config as normal configuration
