Laravel 4 pagination - Can't get past page 1

Question

I have created somewhat of a search feature, where a user can choose a type, pool, date and time. I can't seem to make the paginator to work, as when I click on page 2 the results disappear.

I have tried to append the $query->links() function, but none of my tries have yet succeeded.

The URL looks like this: http://localhost:8080/nih/public/bassengweb/data?time_maling=1&pool_id=1&fraDato=14%2F04%2F2014&tilDato=22%2F04%2F2014&fraTid=00%3A01&tilTid=23%3A59

The code for the view file:

@extends('default')

@section('content')

    <h1>ADMIN SØK</h1>

    {{ Form::open(array('url' => 'bassengweb/data', 'method' => 'GET')) }}
    <table>
        <tr>
            <td>{{ Form::label('time_maling', 'Timemåling') }}</td>
            <td>{{ Form::checkbox('time_maling', 1) }}</td>
            <td>{{ Form::label('3_time_maling', '3. Timemåling') }}</td>
            <td>{{ Form::checkbox('3_time_maling', 1) }}</td>
            <td>{{ Form::label('oppgaver', 'Oppgaver') }}</td>
            <td>{{ Form::checkbox('oppgaver', 1) }}</td>
            <td>{{ Form::label('pool_id', 'Basseng') }}</td>
            <td>{{ Form::select('pool_id', $pools, Input::old('pool_id')) }}</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td>{{ Form::label('dagsoppg', 'Dagvakt') }}</td>

Thanks.

You nested array withing appends method:

$data->appends(array($type => 1, Input::except('page')))->links()
// returns
array(
  $type => 1,
  array(
    ... // Input/Request params are ignored as a nested array
  )
)

Change it to:

$data->appends(array_merge(array($type => 1), Input::except('page')))->links()
