AutoModel 0.1
Hey all,
I’ve been meaning to do this for some time now and I finally took a few minutes tonight to put this together. AutoModel allows you to define a model with only one function (the constructor).
CodeIgniter 101: Models
Models are the most important part of any database driven web application in CodeIgniter. Models allow us to keep our database code separated from our basic program flow control (Controllers) and our output (Views) which is a necessary discipline of writing clean and well structured code using CodeIgniter. Once you truly get used to the structured discipline and implementation of the Model-View-Controller (MVC) design pattern, you will be absolutely proud to see the difference between the quality and structure of your code. This article discusses the basics of Models in CodeIgniter and how to easily implement basic CRUD functions.
Book Review: CodeIgniter for Rapid PHP Application Development
When I first discovered CodeIgniter, I was overcome with glee after following the video tutorials. It all worked. There was no need to rely on any command-line interaction to "automagically" build my application for me. There was no dependence on PEAR or any other outside resources. There was just CodeIgniter. And it worked.
As soon as I got a grasp on what it was doing and why, I dove into
the excellent User Guide and began to feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
This felt like home. The user guide is written in such a
non-intimidating manner that it invites even the most timid of PHP
developers. To this day, I still refer to the user guide when I forget
specific syntax or function names and it's a guick in-and-out routine.
Nothing at all complex about it.
Not too long ago I came across a book by Packt Publishing called
'CodeIgniter for Rapid PHP Application Development'. At first, I thought to
myself, "Why?". The combination of the user guide, the forum and
CodeIgniter's well structured code is surely enough for anybody to
learn, right? What could this book have that any potential developer
could not obtain through these natural resources?
Welcome to the New Developer13
I have relaunched Developer13.com on my new project called InkType. InkType is a free and open source blogging platform written on CodeIgniter.
The overall goals for InkType are:
- To create a blogging platform comparable to Wordpress in terms of features and support
- To create a top notch blogging platform on CI for us CI addicts
- To spark more interest in CI and the Community through interest in InkType
My hope is that the CodeIgniter community will become involved with the project to make it as kick-ass as I envision it being.
I plan to have the alpha version ready for you to download within the next few days. Until then, here are a couple of screenshots of the back end:
