I’d like to start testing this, but I can’t find any docs on getting started. Can you provide just the basics, and I’ll figure out the rest?

I’ve just finished to push a new version on github with a bit more exaustive documentation.

Redownload the project, in the home view i’ve just created a single static but complete html page like bootstrap documentation.

- edit .htaccess file in order to match your server config (see line 5 in the file); if you have http://localhost/site you nedd to set RewriteBase /site/
-set up yor defaults values in application/config/development/custom.php
-take a look to home controller and template view files to understand how does rendering works.
-create your template: i’ve set up an header, footer, nav, and main for example purpose. Skeleton.php contains the scaffolding page.


let me know if i may help you in some way.  fell free to fork my projects and contribute with pull requests.

I gabbed a copy of your latest code, and have begun to read through it. While I only understand a bit of it as this point, it looks to be a way via using MY_Controller to template a View so that as you create new Controllers you don’t need to worry about the JS/CSS in the header of each file.

Am I understanding this right?

exactly, and if you want to use another main template you just need to create a new file like main.php that include your new page structure, and in your controller set it via $this->template = “new_template”, in this way your new template will be pushed to skeleton.php ann page rendered.
you can also push another javascript or css in your view $this->css = array(“path/to/file/file.css”).

take a look to skeleton.php and main.php

Hi Vesparny,

I grabbed a copy of your latest code and have begun to read though the code. While I understand most of it I have still got one question I could not find in the given comments and documentation on the Github page;

Is it possible to pass variables to the template though the controller. Normally you would use something like:

$data['variable1'] = 'My variable1 output';
$data['variable2'] = 'My variable2 output';
$this->load->view('welcome_message', $data); 

Can you tell me and the community how to achieve this?! Thanks in advance.

** Bump **

I have did another good look at the code and figured it out. For anyone who likes to know:

$this->data['variable1'] = 'My variable1 output';

I’ve just downloaded this and will be playing around with it. So far it seems you’ve done a very nice job of integrating the three. The documentation could certainly be improved, but once that is done I believe you will have a very good ‘base’ set for web apps.

I’ll play around with it a bit.

I’m not a very experienced CI developer, but once I start to understand your framework more, I’ll pitch in some documentation.

For now, I suggest explaining your view setup more.

Hello @vesparny and all CI coders.

I just got started my journey with this framework and it’s great - even for newbies like me.

Although, I have a problem with integrating Tank auth library with your bootstrap pack.

I mean, I know that there’s a template view for every website element like header, footer etc.

But I can’t figure out how to make login form in the navbar.

I discovered that TankAuth has a following code in home controller:

if (!$this->tank_auth->is_logged_in()) {
   redirect('/auth/login/');
  } else {
   $this->data['user_id'] = $this->tank_auth->get_user_id();
   $this->data['username'] = $this->tank_auth->get_username();
   $this->data['role']  = $this->tank_auth->get_role();
   
   $this->_render('pages/home'); 
  } 

And I already connected it with your _render method, which is awesome at the point smile

But, still can’t put the login form inside the navbar without making crappy code smile

Do I have to write a method in nav_helper (like isLoggedIn) ? Or is there a better way to make it work?

Thank you in advance
Cheers

Hi Coob,

I am also a user of this extension of the CI_Controller. I have made some modifications/improvements in the past for own use. One of the modifications was integration with tank_auth in the boilerplates as default.

In nav.php you can alter the code to show a login form when the user is not logged in. You can check this with the function you mentioned above

$this->tank_auth_>is_logged_in() 

. If this returns FALSE then you can show the login form, otherwise you can show the navigation links for example.

nav.php

<?php

if($this->tank_auth->is_logged_in())
{
    // show navigation links
    echo anchor(base_url(), 'Home');
    echo anchor('admin', 'Admin area');
}
else
{
    // show login form
    echo form_open();
    ....
} 

Make sure that the tank_auth library is autoloaded since you will be using the library on every page of your website.
