I'm using codeigniter multilanguage and it works fine. The problem is when I try to do multilanguage in the URL... how can I do it?
I mean the controller has to be a file, with a name, and its functions too... so I can't figure how can I do it.
The only alternative I thought is create the same controllers for each language I need... but this is a lot of repeated code just for change the name of the controller and functions... and the maintenance will be a big trouble.
Any help?
Pass the language indicator as a "GET" value to your controller functions:
eg.
base_url/controller/inventory/en
Then use it like this in your controller:
/**
* #desc This will get called when no method specified
* Will show home page (list of items)
*/
function inventory($lang="en",$from=0){
// load proper language file
$this->lang->load('language_filename', $lang);
// generate db where clause
$where = array(
"published"=>"1",
"language"=>$lang
);
// paging
$this->_setPagingLinks($this->newsModel->getTotalRecordsNumber($where),10,4,"inventory/".$lang,$lang);
// loading items from db
$this->data["news"] = $this->newsModel->getRecords($where,$from,10,"time");
// load the view according to language
$this->data["content"] = $this->load->view("$lang/news",$this->data,TRUE);
$this->load->view("$lang/container",$this->data);
}

I am trying to develop a website using a templating method I have created different files and would like to run a query and that query would be available on all templates is it possible to do that? Like I would like to give you an example what I am doing here in the controller I have created a variable like this
$data['navigation'] = 'templates/main_menu';
$this->load->view('main');
Okay so now here what I did in the view of main is I included header and footer there and called the navigation file dynamically like this
$this->load->view($navigation);
Okay so now What I am trying to do is want to get an icons stored in database and other settings as well so I placed a query in the header file
<?php $settings = $this->db->get_where('settings', array('id' => 2));\\ This query is just placed above the doctype in the header file and I would like to be called every where ?>
templates/main_menu.php
$settings->row()->header_bg_color
But I am getting an error as Message: Undefined variable: settings and if i place this settings query within the main_menu.php file it works so like what should be the way i mean it does not make sense to call the query again and again if I would be requiring what will be the best way to do and what is tthe use of model would it be used for the queries if it is then if I place this settings query within the model how would I access it is it possible please advise me
Thank you
hi below is code of controller. i have created the common_library.php file in which i have written all common function that I want to use all views.
class Maintenance extends CI_Controller {
function Maintenance() {
parent::__construct();
// file for all common function
include('application/controllers/common/common_library.php');
$this->load->model('maintenance_model');
$this->load->library('session');
$this->load->library('form_validation');
}
function index(){
/*
* # desc : default function that loads the maintenance_view.
*
*
*/
$data['common_query'] = commonQuery() // define this function in common_library file
$data['model_data'] = $this->maintenance_model->projectdetail();
$data['formtitle'] = 'Maintenance List | BMS';
$this->load->view('maintenance_view',$data);
}
}
I'm trying to return search results to a new controller than where the search action was performed from. Problem is Results is never accessible from CustomSearchResultPage.ss. I've added inline comments for what I think is happening, am I right in my thinking here?
// Customise content with results
$response = $this->customise(array(
'Results' => $results ? $results->getResults() : '',
));
if ($results) {
$response = $response->customise($results);
}
// Use CustomSearchResultPage.ss template
$templates = array('CustomSearchResultPage', 'Page');
// Create a new CustomSearchResultPage page
$page = CustomSearchResultPage::get_one('CustomSearchResultPage');
// Build a controller using the CustomSearchResultPage
$controller = CustomSearchResultPage_Controller::create($page);
// Add the custom data to the newly minted controller
$result = $controller->customise($response);
// Return the controller and tell it how to render
return $result->renderWith($templates);
The page seems to render as expected just the variable is always empty...
Your explanation is a little hard to follow I'm afraid. So I'm answering for what I can ascertain as below:
Performing a search. This requires loading a controller to do as such.
Customising the current controller with the results
RE-customising the current controller with itself.
Setting the template for the current (double customised) controller.
Disregarding all of the above.
Fetching a random page (or an empty record).
Creating a controller for the empty page.
Customising the new controller with the customised controller of the current controller customised with itself.
Returning that page, which shows no results.
You need only stop at step 4 (skip step 3), and return the customisation ($response).
If there is some reason you think you need another controller however (which seems superflous, but who knows), creating and then customising that one (only) before returning it would be better.
Being that you have only used this second controller for rendering a result, the URL will not have changed or anything. The whole thing seems beyond requirements.
A much more simple way to render a result from this action would probably be:
return $this
->customise(['Results' => $results ? $results->getResults() : null])
->renderWith(['CustomSearchResultPage', 'Page']);
(from the top of my head, may need a little refining).
I know there are several similar topics around but I read and tried most of them but still can't figure out how to do this.
I have a written a component in Joomla 2.5 and it works so far. I have different views and I can load the views using the controller.php.
One of the views shows a table out of my data base (data about teams).
Now I'd like to have another layout of the same view which would display the data base table as a form so can change the content.
That's the file structure:
views/
- teams/
- - tmpl/
- - - default.php
- - - modify.php
- - view.html.php
That's out of the view.html.php file:
...
// Overwriting JView display method
function display($tpl = null) {
...
$this->setLayout('modify');
echo $this->getLayout();
// Display the view
parent::display($tpl);
}
I tried different combinations of setLayout, $tpl = ..., default_modify.php, etc.
but I always either get the default layout or some error like 'can't find layout modify'
I load the site with .../index.php?option=com_test&task=updateTeams
And the controller.php looks like this:
function updateTeams(){
$model = $this->getModel('teams');
$view = $this->getView('teams','html');
$view->setModel($model);
$view->display();
}
I had a similar problem, I created some kind of user profile view and wanted them to be able to edit the fields without having to create a new model for it (would have similar functions, hate redundancy...). What worked for me is to simply call the layout like this:
index.php?option=com_mycomponent&view=myview&layout=edit ("edit" would be "modify" in your case)
To do this I didn't touch the view.html.php (well I did at first but I didn't have to.). And you don't need to use the controller either. If you want to load the modify view, just add a button to your regular view linking to the modify layout. No need to change anything else.
I happen to have written a blog article about it, check it out if you want: http://violetfortytwo.blogspot.de/2012/11/joomla-25-multiple-views-one-model.html
Hope this helps.
Ok this is the problem .. you don't want another layout, you want a new MVC triad that is based on forms rather than rendering. So if you look at any of the core content components you will see in the backend they have a mvc for say ... contacts and one for contact and contact is the editor. If in the front end you will notice that com_content and com_weblinks have mvc for artice/weblink and then separate ones for editing.
You need a really different model and layout and set of actions for editng than for just rendering.
Old topic, but it might still help.
It seems that when one wants to change the layout, the $tpl must not be included in the display() or must be null.
So the previous code would be:
function display($tpl = null) {
/* ... */
$this->setLayout('modify');
// Display the view without the $tpl (or be sure it is null)
parent::display();
}
I'm writing a control panel for my image site. I have a controller called category which looks like this:
class category extends ci_controller
{
function index(){}// the default and when it called it returns all categories
function edit(){}
function delete(){}
function get_posts($id)//to get all the posts associated with submitted category name
{
}
}
What I need is when I call http://mysite/category/category_name I get all the posts without having to call the get_posts() method having to call it from the url.
I want to do it without using the .haccess file or route.
Is there a way to create a method on the fly in CodeIgniter?
function index(){
$category = $this->uri->segment(2);
if($category)
{
get_posts($category); // you need to get id in there or before.
}
// handle view stuff here
}
The way I read your request is that you want index to handle everything based on whether or not there is a category in a uri segment. You COULD do it that way but really, why would you?
It is illogical to insist on NOT using a normal feature of a framework without explaining exactly why you don't want to. If you have access to this controller, you have access to routes. So why don't you want to use them?
EDIT
$route['category/:any'] = "category/get_posts";
That WOULD send edit and delete to get_posts, but you could also just define those above the category route
$route['category/edit/:num'] = "category/edit";
$route['category/delete/:num'] = "category/delete";
$route['category/:any'] = "category/get_posts";
That would resolve for the edit and delete before the category fetch. Since you only have 2 methods that conflict then this shouldn't really be that much of a concern.
To create method on the fly yii is the best among PHP framework.Quite simple and powerful with Gii & CRUD
http://www.yiiframework.com/doc/guide/1.1/en/quickstart.first-app
But I am a big CI fan not Yii. yii is also cool though.
but Codeigniter has an alternative , web solution.
http://formigniter.org/ here.
I am currently working on CMS for a client, and I am going to be using Codeigniter to build on top of, it is only a quick project so I am not looking for a robust solution.
To create pages, I am getting to save the page details and the pull the correct page, based on the slug matching the slug in the mysql table.
My question is however, for this to work, I have to pass this slug from the URL the controller then to the model, this means that I also have too have the controller in the URL which I do not want is it possible to remove the controller from the URL with routes?
so
/page/our-story
becomes
/our-story
Is this possible
I would recommend to do it this way.
Let's say that you have : controller "page" / Method "show"
$route['page/show/:any'] = "$1";
or method is index which I don't recommend, and if you have something like news, add the following.
$route['news/show/:any'] = "news/$1";
That's it.
Yes, certainly. I just recently built a Codeigniter driven CMS myself. The whole purpose of routes is to change how your urls look and function. It helps you break away from the controller/function/argument/argument paradigm and lets you choose how you want your url's to look like.
Create a pages controller in your controllers directory
Place a _remap function inside of it to catch all requests to the controller
If you are using the latest version of CI 2.0 from Bitbucket, then in your routes.php file you can put this at the bottom of the file: $routes['404_override'] = "pages"; and then all calls to controllers that don't exist will be sent to your controller and you then can check for the presence of URL chunks. You should also make pages your default controller value as well.
See my answer for a similar question here from a few months back for example code and working code that I use in my Codeigniter CMS.
Here's the code I used in a recent project to achieve this. I borrowed it from somewhere; can't remember where.
function _remap($method)
{
$param_offset = 2;
// Default to index
if ( ! method_exists($this, $method))
{
// We need one more param
$param_offset = 1;
$method = 'index';
}
// Since all we get is $method, load up everything else in the URI
$params = array_slice($this->uri->rsegment_array(), $param_offset);
// Call the determined method with all params
call_user_func_array(array($this, $method), $params);
}
Then, my index function is where you would put your page function.
