I went through a blog;
http://philsturgeon.co.uk/blog/2009/07/Create-an-Admin-panel-with-CodeIgniter
I have already built the frontend of the whole site and now the client wants few features to be added in an admin section. I followed the 1st method but it didn't work for me except the very first page (i.e. set in routes.php as $route['default_controller'] = "main";).
The URL looks like "http://localhost/myproject/admin/dashboard" , yes it leads to a 404 page.
I have fully followed the way you have described above (folder structure and setting 2 index files). Am i missing anything? Or it just doesn't work at all in my case?
is your site so big that you need this ?
because if you dont know codeigniter, this adds a level of complexity thats not needed, also note that the howto is from 2009 and definately not using the latest codeigniter 2
I would rethink exactly what you need
if you have nothing working now, here is another howto link

This would help you

Wonderful package helps you to integrate CI in modular structure .I've used this for one project. Great it will consider admin as a module ,also you can create blog,forum modules etc
i am also following the same blog there.
"You'll need to set a $route['admin'] = 'admin/dashboard'; to get example.com/admin worksing but thats easy enough."
doing above, when i point to admin it shows the dashboard view.

I want to know what the structure of Social Engine is. For example if I want to go to a page that the URL of that page is "http://example.com/stores/products", how can I find the controllers, models, views of?
When I go to direction application I see these:
languages
libraries
modules
plugins
settings
themes
widgets
and when I go into modules I see all modules added to the site including these:
Sitestore
Sitestorealbum
Sitestoreform
Sitestoreproduct
Siteverify
Sitevideo
and so on...
and when I go into Sitestore as an example, I see these:
Api
controllers
externals
Form
Model
Plugin
settings
View
views
widgets
But even now I don't know where to find the file I need related to the URL mentioned above.
Just tell me if you want to know what's inside each file.
Appreciation
You can get the controller and action name from manifest.php under modules/XYZ/settings/manifest.php.
Example, /stores/products
Go to modules/Sitestoreproduct/settings/manifest.php
Here you can see the slug_ of Store module and Products module.
For core modules, you will find the url structure in the /settings/manifest.php only, but in third party modules, SEAO and others they have extended the submodules by making it dynamic.
Hope it helps you to understand.
I am new to Joomla component developement and currently fighting with certain basic design patterns!
Lets say, I am developing a component where users can enter simple notes into their personal notebooks.
On calling the view "index.php?option=com_notebook&view=notes" I simply show a list of all note entries of the user. No problem so far, this is working fine.
Now I want to extend my component with the following feature: on opening the view "index.php?option=com_notebook&view=notes", I want to check if the user has already created a notebook before. If yes, I show all note entries, if not, I want to load a different view which contains a form to create a new notebook with certain options.
But how can this be done in a clean way?
For sure, I just can implement the form within the view "notes", but this is not the clean way, isnt it?
I also tried to override the function "display()" of the main controller and set the view manually if no notebook exists. But if I do so, I have to handle all calls to other views of my component manually within the function "display()". To solve this, I created a copy the original implementation from the class "JControllerLegacy" and changed it to my needs - this is working - but is this really the best way to handle problems like this?
So I ask you, what is the best approach to solve this problem?
Thx a lot!
According to me the best solution of your problem is to provide "New" and "Edit" button to your notebook listing page and create edit view of notbook. Same as Joomla has articles and article views.
So, As you mentioned above if use dose not have any notebook then he/she can create a new notebook using that "New" button. when user clicked on "New" button he has blank form where he/she can create new notebook.
here is the example how to create listing and edit view in Joomla. Hope this will help you.

I want to develop a joomla 2.5 porfolio extension.
So I need something in the backend to enter a couple of details.
On my frontpage I want to have listed the six latest projects and there will be a page in the frontend where all projects are listed.
I'm new to this whole joomla thing. At the moment I'm reading through the joomla docs and tutorials.
I'm a little bit confused because I'm not really sure which type of extension do I need.
Can all this be done with a single component or a module or do I have to mix both?
Because what I've understood so far a component can just be displayed as a independent page.
And a module has to be included in a page. Like {lastSixProjects}?
Can some please enlighten me a little bit?
If you want to create a page with portofolio only, you may create a component without a module...
If you want to put your portofolio in eg.: articles pages, search page, in a sidebar etc (like a image slideshow plugin) you must create a module (with a component assigned to it)
Please read this: http://docs.joomla.org/Extension_types_%28general_definitions%29 .
I undestrand that you want to put your portofolio in your front page... in this chase you MUST create a module.
Little explanation:
A module is an extension (similary to boxes, or widgets) that are arranged arround a component (in this chase com_content - on your FrontPage). Eg: Ads Module, Search Box Module etc.
A component is a super complex extension (similary to mini applications). It has an administration part and front-end part. All Joomla! pages loads a component. Eg: Content component, Search component etc.
I hope this will help you.
You want a component. Please read this: http://docs.joomla.org/Extension_types_%28general_definitions%29
Agree on 2 previous answers, you need a component with at least one table to store your projects. Then you need to link to a menu a view of the elements on a table. You should be able to make it work in 15 minutes with this component creator for Joomla http://www.component-creator.com/
I have created a simple basic component in joomla named, careerform so I want to know that what will be its url? Will it be :
index.php/?option=com_careerform
or in sef it will be something like:
index.php/components/careerform
or it will be like this while using .htaccess
/careerform
Is it true or what are joomla default URLs with different settings? Please tell what you know.
thanks for your time.
While what you are asking to do is possible, it would be rather complicated to rename a component. As part of the renaming you would have to update the names of dozens if not hundreds of classes throughout every file of the component. Very likely to run into some bugs because of this.
The far easier prospect is to just avoid these types of urls in your site. Joomla will only fall back to that style of url if a menu item does not exist for the view. Because of that, you can make the url into this:
http://sitename.com/any-component-alias/
To do this, go into the menu manager and create a new menu item. If you don't want this as part of the main menu, you can create a new menu. (I typically have a menu called "Hidden" for menu items that I want aliased but don't actually link to throughout the site from a menu.) When creating the menu item, make sure the type matches the component and view. The alias will then be whatever is entered in the alias box just below the title.
The one issue you may run into with this is that a component may not have a menu type for a particular view. In that case, you you would need to add the necessary metadata.xml file to the view (which again would be much easier than renaming the component!). A good tutorial for that can be found here: http://docs.joomla.org/Adding_view_layout_configuration_parameters.
yes if SEF will be enabled then index.php/component/careerform will be used.
You can create custom URLs by developing a router for your component.
There is very good documentation for it here.
I am using symfony 1.4.8 with sfDoctrineGuardPlugin for my backend.
My question is how can i customise sfDoctrineGuardPlugin's default content? For example, how can i do something on the page between filter and table (on the left hand site)? Or, how can i customize table (http://goo.gl/ZmRey)?
I cannot find any solution for using partials on backend. Is there any way to use partials/components/slots on backend?
I hope you understand my question and tell me a way.
Thanks for your answer(s),
Erman
Partials, components and slots are no different on the back-end to the front-end - your "backend" is just another Symfony application. From the screenshot you gave, it looks like you're looking to customise the admin generator theme.
The quickest way to get started with this is to look in your cache/appname/ folder and see the automatically-generated modules here, with all the template files, partial files and so on. You can then create an empty module in your application, and override select parts of the theme with whatever you want to change. See this part of the Symfony docs for a full list of partials etc, and how to go about overriding them in more detail.
In the specific case of sfDoctrineGuardPlugin-module pages, these can be overrided in the same way as normal modules - simply create eg an sfGuardAuth module and override the selected parts of the module you want to.
If you want to go further and create your own admin generator theme, this is a bit more advanced. Here I will shamelessly promote a blog post I wrote last year ;-) John Cleveley's presentation also provides some great tips.
