Bug with pagination when 2 variables in the url on CodeIgniter

Question

I am still learning with the CodeIgniter framework. Today, I find myself faced with the problem of pagination.

Indeed I would have access to data via an id which requires a variable in the url and another one for the pagination.

This is my foos_by_day function (this is not the real name, it's just an example) in my controller called foo that returns an array of foos on a specific day. These foos come from my database and go to my controller get_foos_by_day ($day) via the model called model_foos.

function foos_by_day($day) {
    $configpages['base_url'] = 'http://www.exemple.com/ci/index.php/foo/foos_by_days/'.$foo."/";
    $configpages['total_rows'] = count($this->model_foos->get_foos_by_day($foo));
    $configpages['per_page'] = 10;
    $config['uri_segment'] = 4;

    $this->pagination->initialize($configpages);
    $data['foos'] = $this->model_foos->get_foos_by_day($jour, (int)$this->uri->segment(4), $configpages['per_page'] );

    $this->load->view('foo_view.php', $data);
}

And this is my view:

<?php foreach ($foos as $element): ?>
    <div>
    Name of the foo : <?=$element->name?><br />
    Date of the foo : <?=$element->date?><br />
    </div>
<?php endforeach; ?>
<?php echo $this->pagination->create_links(); ?>

I get something strange in my view when I input : http://www.example.com/ci/index.php/foo/foos_by_day/2011-09-28/

The numbering of my 32 foos starts at 4 (the last page). It displays correctly 10 foos per pages but when I click on another page, the selected page stays the fourth. Moreover, the links behind the page numbers gives me the following statement:

<a href="http://www.example.com/ci/index.php/foo/foos_by_day/2011-09-28/">First</a>
<a href="http://www.example.com/ci/index.php/foo/foos_by_day/2011-09-28/20">&lt;</a>
<a href="http://www.example.com/ci/index.php/foo/foos_by_day/2011-09-28/10">2</a>
<a href="http://www.example.com/ci/index.php/foo/foos_by_day/2011-09-28/20">3</a>
<strong>4</strong>

So : nothing, then 20, 10 and 20 (again). In short there is a bug in the pagination.

Have you ever been faced to this kind of situation (with a pagination error)? If so, how did you solve it? How do you think I should proceed to find a regular pagination?

Thanks in advance.

P.S. : I didn't delete the index.php file but I have learned to do it on an other CodeIgniter.

Change $config['uri_segment'] = 4; to $configpages['uri_segment'] = 4;
