Custom pagination URL

A paginator class (Illuminate\Pagination\Paginator) has a setBaseUrl method.

But i didn't tested and i dont think it can be use to transform page numbers, from query string to url segment.

As long as you can pick up on those IDs at the end, because I know Route::resource() would have issues with that URI structure.

@bashy What do you mean exactly?

I need to do something similar to the episode mechanism here in Laracasts.

When I click on an episode (belonging to a serie) the url looks like

https://laracasts.com/series/SERIE_TITLE/episodes/2

Where 2 means the second episode of that serie (2 is not the id of the episode)

At first I tought to use pagination to easily have next and prev. buttons by default, but now I have to think something else.

What may I do?

Personally, I wouldn't bother changing it. What's wrong with "?page=#"? To me episodes/2 would look like episode 2

@bashy My previous post was not clear, sorry.

my goal is to implement something like episodes in laracasts. I don't need pagination. I tought to use pagination (with 1 element per page) just to have next and prev buttons out of the box! It was a trick!

Now I realized it can't work because of the url format

Is there antother way to do something similar (with or without pagination)?

Okay, I see. Why not get that from a database field in the pivot or something?

Radosław did a nice job: https://github.com/DeSmart/pagination

@bashy Because If I want to add an episode in the middle of the serie I'll have to change all the following entries

@zofe I'll try this

But you're talking about episode IDs (like a series on here), if you add one in the middle, you will have to edit the others (or make a query to update everything to the right by one).

Some ordering/sorting functions do that.

There are issues with SEO because of the ?page=
