title: CodeIgniter Pagination : Does not create first page's link
body: <p>my pagination problem still continue ;</p>
  
  <p>I just making pagination in simple stuff :</p>
  
  <pre><code>        $config['base_url'] = site_url('admin/index/page/');
          $this-&gt;load-&gt;database();
          $config['total_rows'] = $this-&gt;db-&gt;count_all('sms');
          $config['per_page'] = 20;
          $offset = $this-&gt;uri-&gt;segment(4, 0);
          $this-&gt;pagination-&gt;initialize($config)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And my view page has this command for view pagination :</p>
  
  <pre><code>        &lt;?php echo $this-&gt;pagination-&gt;create_links(); ?&gt; 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And after more than 20 rows , pagination starts to paging the list, but  html output shows like this :</p>
  
  <p><p>&nbsp;<strong>1</strong>&nbsp;<a href="http://www.xxx.com/index.php/admin/index/page/20" rel="nofollow">2</a>&nbsp;<a href="http://www.xxx.com/index.php/admin/index/page/40" rel="nofollow">3</a>&nbsp;
  
  <p>As in view , First Page Number 1 does not have link either jumping next page , there is no link on page number 1. Just its on strong . </p>
  
  <p>My second problem is : I have just 30 record but CI pagination creates 3rd page which is coming with empty rows ! </p>
  
  <p>I am not sure why some Class ( specially pagination makes so much trouble to users ? ) If i need to pay something ( maybe hidden licence? ) for get away from trouble instead of using simple pagination class without loosing so much time for searching issue on internet , I am ready for it !</p>
