=========== Application

This project is currently the startup bootstrap of all my codeigniter applications. As it allows to put up the application framework pretty quickly.

I will put up a list of sites that currently use this CMS soon.

========= Features

Features include -

Admin panel ( user: admin@cms.com, pass: admin123)

Wysywig edit your site

File manager/picture manager

My own entity based scaffolding system

======== Live wysywig edit

Wysywig edit of site is based on the text block function. The text block modules allows u to put an editable text anywhere in your website. This peice of text will be availble for wysywig when u are on admin mode.

======== Entity scaffolding

To create a new entity / class / whatever u want to call. The steps are easy -

1. Create the database table for it , the definition and data types are important

2. go to application -> models -> admin -> entity_model.php

3. add a new entity to define ur table

Here is the example model definition of a simple entity called "email"

public function email() {
    
    $entity = array(
        "select" => array(
            "tbl_emails.email_id" => "number####",
            "tbl_emails.email" => "varchar####required|email"
        ),
        "from" => 'tbl_emails',
        "action_key" => 'tbl_emails.email_id',
        "actions" => array(
            "delete" => "quickdelete/tbl_emails/email_id"
        )
    );

    return $entity;
}

The first parameter inside the $entity array is "select" which will take an associative array where the key is the column name and the value is the type of data followed by 4 hash (we will cover it later). Followed by the form validation (optional) rules

The second parameter is "from" which will take the table name

The third is "action_key" which will take the primary key for this table

The fourth is "actions" which will take an associative array with the key as "actions" and the values as the url of that action appended by the primary key ( written earlier under action_key )

The above piece of code will create all the necessary pages you need to create / view / delete emails. You can see this in action under admin panel -> subscribers

In order to create a new entity / class like this just copy paste the template and change the corresponding field of the array
