Pagination error

[hilaryb]

On the Users list, the first click on a pagination button works ok but subsequent clicks produce a silent error in the browser console and navigation to next page does not work. The Filter selection on the users page also produces the same error.

If I change the Pager template in bonfire/Views/_table.php from 'bonfire_full_hx' to 'bonfire_full' it works ok.
The User filter also uses .htmx but I am unsure how to fix this.

@hilaryb, thanks for reporting this, although I knew about this issue.

This is a problem of incompatibility between the CI4 Debug toolbar and HTMX calls. Another manifestation you can see in the use of the filter of user list; the first filter checkbox works, the subsequent - do not.

There are two ways to deal with it.

First, you can swith to production mode. No debug toolbar = no issue.

Second solution - you could install a package by @michalsn to deal with it automatically (no other changes required, unless you are still on php 7):

composer require michalsn/codeigniter-htmx

Perhaps we should add it to dependencies (except that we do not use any other sweet functionality it provides, so maybe to development requirements?).

Changing the pager to bonfire_full will switch the paging back to simple GET requests instead of HTMX/XHR, and in does work on its own, but it interferes with the filter functionality (filter does not keep the state while the filter parameters continue to be applied, and the url gets ugly).

@dgvirtual, Thanks for the reply.
I just switched off the debug toolbar in bonfire/Config/Registrar and all is working as it should.

I will install the package you suggested and see if that fixes the problem.

Thank you so much for your help.

@dgvirtual Installed the package and now working ok.

Thank you again.

I will think about how to best deal with this issue before marking it as closed...

The best way seems to be to include @michalsn codeigniter-htmx package into require or require-dev blocks of composer.json. But then we would need to drop the compatibility with PHP 7.4 for good.
