Change pagination url to domain/product?page=x in Codigniter - codeigniter

Question

For my Codeigniter project I have below pagination code:
$this->load->library('pagination');
$config['base_url'] = base_url().'/joblist';
$config['total_rows'] = $this->joblist_model->joblist_count();
$config['per_page'] = 2;
$config['use_page_numbers'] = TRUE;
$config["uri_segment"] = 2;
$page = ($this->uri->segment(2)) ? $this->uri->segment(2) : 0;
$data['title'] = 'Job list in Cambodia';
$data['rows'] = $this->joblist_model->joblist($config["per_page"], $page);
$this->pagination->initialize($config);
$data['pagination'] = $this->pagination->create_links();
Question: How do I change the url from domain/joblist/page/xx to domain/joblist?page=xx ?

Answer 1

Yes, you can enable the query string in pagination.
$this->load->library('pagination');
$config['base_url'] = base_url().'/joblist';
$config['total_rows'] = 4;
$config['per_page'] = 2;
$config['use_page_numbers'] = TRUE;
$config["uri_segment"] = 2;
$config['page_query_string']=TRUE;
$config['query_string_segment'] = 'page';
$page = ($this->uri->segment(2)) ? $this->uri->segment(2) : 0;
$this->pagination->initialize($config);
$this->pagination->create_links());

Here is an example using $this->input->get(); and page_query_string set to true
You may need to set some routes on config/routes.php
https://www.codeigniter.com/user_guide/general/routing.html#examples
$route['product'] = 'joblist/index';
controller example
class Joblist extends CI_Controller {
public function index() {
$this->load->library('pagination');
$config['base_url'] = base_url('product');
$config['total_rows'] = $this->db->count_all_results('jobs');
$config['per_page'] = 2;
$config['page_query_string'] = TRUE;
$config['query_string_segment'] = 'page';
// Use the input->get();
$page = ($this->input->get('page')) ? $this->input->get('page') : 0;
$this->pagination->initialize($config);
$data['rows'] = $this->fetch_jobs($config['per_page'], $page);
$data['links'] = $this->pagination->create_links());
$this->load->view('example', $data);
}
public function fetch_jobs($limit, $start) {
$this->db->limit($limit, $start);
$query = $this->db->get("jobs");
if ($query->num_rows() > 0) {
foreach ($query->result() as $row) {
$data[] = $row;
}
return $data;
}
return false;
}
}
