Help me with the button

[Cld]

Hello there,

 

I have a button to load more news in web. And i need to hide that button after all the news from database is loaded. But i only got that button hidden after one press which is not all news or i cant hide it at all with my if functions. Heres my functions i use codeigniter.

 

Controller:

 

 public function get_more_news($menu_item_id, $total){

        $this->data['all_items']= $this->{$this->model}->get_items_all($menu_item_id, $this->lang_id);

        $this->data['total'] = $total + $this->items_per_page;

        $current_page = $this->input->get('page') ? (($this->input->get('page') - 1) * $this->items_per_page) - 1 : 0;    

       $this->data['items'] = $this->{$this->model}->get_items($menu_item_id, $this->lang_id, $this->data['total'], $current_page);

        if ($all_items > $this->data['items'])

        {

            $this->data['hide_button'] = 1;

        }    

        else

        {

            $this->data['hide_button'] = 0;

        }

        

        $this->data['use_thumbnails'] = $this->{$this->model}->get_variables('use_thumbnails');

$this->data['thumbnail_prefix'] = $this->{$this->model}->get_variables('thumbnail_prefix');

$this->data['directory'] = $this->{$this->model}->get_variables('directory');

        $this->data['meta_data'] = $this->welcome_model->get_item_meta_data($menu_item_id, $this->lang_id, true);

        $this->load->view($this->theme . '/menu_modules/' . $this->module . '/loader', $this->data);

    }

 

}

 

Loader.php

 

<div id="button_count" data-id="<?= $hide_button; ?> "style="display:none;"></div>

<script>

    

     total= $('#masonry li').length;

        var button = $('#button_count').attr('data-id'); 

        var button1 = Number(button);

        if(button1 === 0){

            $('#LoadMoreNewsButton').hide();

        }

    </script>

 

This script hides the button instantly. Help me please

Hehe i made it myself simply adding a line in controller and changing the if sentence.

 

$this->data['items_now'] = count($this->data['items']);

 if ( $this->data['all_items'] > $this->data['items_now'])
