Scaffolding

- -

Scaffolding has been deprecated from CodeIgniter as of 1.6.0.

- -

CodeIgniter's Scaffolding feature provides a fast and very convenient way to add, edit, or delete information in your database -during development.

- -

Very Important: Scaffolding is intended for development use only. It provides very little -security other than a "secret" word, so anyone who has access to your CodeIgniter site can potentially edit or delete your information. -If you use scaffolding make sure you disable it immediately after you are through using it. DO NOT leave it enabled on a live site. -And please, set a secret word before you use it.

- -

Why would someone use scaffolding?

- -

Here's a typical scenario: You create a new database table during development and you'd like a quick way to insert some data -into it to work with. Without scaffolding your choices are either to write some inserts using the command line or to use a -database management tool like phpMyAdmin. With CodeIgniter's scaffolding feature you can quickly add some data using its browser -interface. And when you are through using the data you can easily delete it.

- -

Setting a Secret Word

- -

Before enabling scaffolding please take a moment to set a secret word. This word, when encountered in your URL, -will launch the scaffolding interface, so please pick something obscure that no one is likely to guess.

- -

To set a secret word, open your application/config/routes.php file and look for this item:

- -$route['scaffolding_trigger'] = ''; - -

Once you've found it add your own unique word.

- -

Note: The scaffolding word can not start with an underscore.

- - -

Enabling Scaffolding

- -

Note: The information on this page assumes you already know how controllers work, and that you have -a working one available. It also assumes you have configured CodeIgniter to auto-connect to your database. -If not, the information here won't be very relevant, so you are encouraged to go through those sections first. -Lastly, it assumes you understand what a class constructor is. If not, read the last section of the controllers -page.

- -

To enable scaffolding you will initialize it in your constructor like this:

- -


-<?php

-class Blog extends Controller {

-

-       function Blog()

-       {

-            parent::Controller();


-            $this->load->scaffolding('table_name');

-       }

-}

-?>

- -

Where table_name is the name of the table (table, not database) you wish to work with.

- -

Once you've initialized scaffolding, you will access it with this URL prototype:

- -example.com/index.php/class/secret_word/ - -

For example, using a controller named Blog, and abracadabra as the secret word, -you would access scaffolding like this:

- -example.com/index.php/blog/abracadabra/ - -

The scaffolding interface should be self-explanatory. You can add, edit or delete records.

- - -

A Final Note:

- -

The scaffolding feature will only work with tables that contain a primary key, as this is information is needed to perform the various -database functions.

- - -

$this->load->scaffolding('table_name')

This function lets you enable scaffolding. Please see the -scaffolding section for more info.
