The latter is used to report -errors related to form validation. - -Go back to your news controller. You're going to do two things here, -check whether the form was submitted and whether the submitted data -passed the validation rules. You'll use the :doc:`form -validation <../libraries/form_validation>` library to do this. - -:: - - public function create() - { - $this->load->helper('form'); - $this->load->library('form_validation'); - - $data['title'] = 'Create a news item'; - - $this->form_validation->set_rules('title', 'Title', 'required'); - $this->form_validation->set_rules('text', 'Text', 'required'); - - if ($this->form_validation->run() === FALSE) - { - $this->load->view('templates/header', $data); - $this->load->view('news/create'); - $this->load->view('templates/footer'); - - } - else - { - $this->news_model->set_news(); - $this->load->view('news/success'); - } - } - -The code above adds a lot of functionality. The first few lines load the -form helper and the form validation library. After that, rules for the -form validation are set. The ``set_rules()`` method takes three arguments; -the name of the input field, the name to be used in error messages, and -the rule. In this case the title and text fields are required. - -CodeIgniter has a powerful form validation library as demonstrated -above. You can read :doc:`more about this library -here <../libraries/form_validation>`. - -Continuing down, you can see a condition that checks whether the form -validation ran successfully. If it did not, the form is displayed, if it -was submitted **and** passed all the rules, the model is called. After -this, a view is loaded to display a success message. Create a view at -*application/views/news/success.php* and write a success message. - -Model ------ - -The only thing that remains is writing a method that writes the data to -the database. You'll use the Query Builder class to insert the -information and use the input library to get the posted data. Open up -the model created earlier and add the following: - -:: - - public function set_news() - { - $this->load->helper('url'); - - $slug = url_title($this->input->post('title'), 'dash', TRUE); - - $data = array( - 'title' => $this->input->post('title'), - 'slug' => $slug, - 'text' => $this->input->post('text') - ); - - return $this->db->insert('news', $data); - } - -This new method takes care of inserting the news item into the database. -The third line contains a new function, url\_title(). This function - -provided by the :doc:`URL helper <../helpers/url_helper>` - strips down -the string you pass it, replacing all spaces by dashes (-) and makes -sure everything is in lowercase characters. This leaves you with a nice -slug, perfect for creating URIs. - -Let's continue with preparing the record that is going to be inserted -later, inside the ``$data`` array. Each element corresponds with a column in -the database table created earlier. You might notice a new method here, -namely the ``post()`` method from the :doc:`input -library <../libraries/input>`. This method makes sure the data is -sanitized, protecting you from nasty attacks from others. The input -library is loaded by default. At last, you insert our ``$data`` array into -our database. - -Routing -------- - -Before you can start adding news items into your CodeIgniter application -you have to add an extra rule to *config/routes.php* file. Make sure your -file contains the following. This makes sure CodeIgniter sees 'create' -as a method instead of a news item's slug. - -:: - - $route['news/create'] = 'news/create'; - $route['news/(:any)'] = 'news/view/$1'; - $route['news'] = 'news'; - $route['(:any)'] = 'pages/view/$1'; - $route['default_controller'] = 'pages/view'; - -Now point your browser to your local development environment where you -installed CodeIgniter and add index.php/news/create to the URL. -Congratulations, you just created your first CodeIgniter application! -Add some news and check out the different pages you made. diff --git a/user_guide_src/source/tutorial/index.rst b/user_guide_src/source/tutorial/index.rst deleted file mode 100644 index 91f99c7cd..000000000 --- a/user_guide_src/source/tutorial/index.rst +++ /dev/null @@ -1,46 +0,0 @@ -######## -Tutorial -######## - -This tutorial is intended to introduce you to the CodeIgniter framework -and the basic principles of MVC architecture.
