Codeigniter pagination

CodeIgniter’s Pagination class is very easy to use, and it is 100% customizable, either dynamically or via stored preferences.

Sometimes when we clicked at the pagination number, the numbers still pointed at current page although it shows correct data. This happened because CI will take uri segment 3 as default pagination referrence. To customise CI to read the correct URI segment pagination :

$config['uri_segment'] = 4;

Now CI will recognise uri segment 4 as page referral. Pagination navigator will highlighted to the correct page when you click it now.

sudo apt-get install subversion libapache2-svn

sudo svnadmin create /svn

edit our enabled apache2 module

sudo gedit /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/dav_svn.conf

add this at the end of the file

DAV svn
SVNPath /path/to/your/svn
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Subversion Repository"
AuthUserFile /etc/apache2/dav_svn.passwd
Require valid-user

create user for your repository

sudo htpasswd -cm /etc/apache2/dav_svn.passwd your_username

restart apache server to take effect

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
