All Post Data

2009-07-04T21:56:58-06:00

Is there a way to loop though all post data using $this->input->post()? Like you would do with traditional post data:

foreach($_POST as $key => $val) {
    // do something
} 

The Easiest Authentication Library for CodeIgniter just got easier.

2009-04-25T17:12:49-06:00

Hey guys,

Over the past few days I have been working hard on adding an administration panel to The Authentication Library.

I have added the ability to add, edit and delete users without writing any code. I have also created a helper to reduce the code you need to write for some other tasks.

I have also changed the location of the user guide to my personal domain name. The user guide can be found here and has been updated for this new 1.0.5 release.

You can download the new set of files from Github.

If you have any questions that are not covered in the user guide, please post here.

Thanks.

No $_POST data

2009-06-04T18:47:21-06:00

New to codeigniter, actually have to use it for this project.

Ok, I’m working with a situation where there will be dynamic number of input fields in a form so i need to use $_POST to iterate thru them

//Set post arg to vars
foreach ($_POST as $name=>$values) {
    $this->global_class->checkArgFiltered($name);
    echo "{$name} = {$value}";            
} 

my form action is

<form action="<?php $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'];?>/index.php/pdf/write" method="POST" enctype="text/plain"> 

I need $_POST to work or I need a codeignter method.

i tried calling $this->input->post() with out param hoping that it would return an array of the post args

Please help!

base_url, site_url better handling of SSL / https

2009-07-04T19:14:10-06:00

The problem is some pages you want to be https, some http, and sometimes it depends. For example, if you’re on a https page, you want site_url to point to a stylesheet with https so your visitors don’t get unsecured content messages scaring them. Sure, this can be accomplished with .htaccess hacks and doing “if ssl str_replace” on your stylesheet tags. And sure, some of this can be avoided with relative URLs for your stylesheets and javascript, but then you have problems if some of your pages exist on different subdomains.

What about this?

normal: base_url()
force ssl: base_url(‘ssl’);
detect: base_url(‘detect’);

(same could go for site_url())

So you use null parameter to use the standard base URL.
The ‘ssl’ parameter does a str_replace on te base URL
and the ‘detect’ parameter detects whether the current page has been loaded using https and if so applies the above.

No free speech over here or what?

WHY?

Cache hash not unique with subdomains

2009-07-04T19:06:12-06:00

Hello,

Our site uses the following scheme for searches:

category1.oursite.com/Location
category2.oursite.com/Location

which using htaccess map to:

/find/results/category1/Location
/find/results/category2/Location

Unfortunately, it appears that the above two get the same cache md5 hash, since the hash uses base_url (which for us is always http://www.oursite.com) to determine the domain of the page being loaded. This really limits the routability and use of subdomains with CodeIgniter.

I did a quick hack to our output library and changed to:

$uri = $_SERVER[“HTTP_HOST”] . $_SERVER[“REQUEST_URI”];

But having hacked core files is obviously not ideal.

Image Manipulation Problems

2009-06-11T22:26:11-06:00

Hello All,
I am trying to use the image manipulation class to make thumbnails just after the raw images are uploaded, but I keep getting this error msg:
Unable to save the image. Please make sure the image and file directory are writable.

I have set the uploads folder permissions to 0777 but every image that is uploaded within this folder reverts to 644.

I am running Mac OSX10.5.7, My pathing seems correct and I am using both a local server with MAMP as well as account with Dreamhost.

I have tried chmod() function to no avail, I have set the uploads folder to inherit permissions to all included files (on mamp server), I am at my wit’s end.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

my code is as follows:
//$img_path is from ‘file_name’ data from uploaded raw image
$thumb[‘image_library’] = ‘gd2’;
$thumb[‘source_image’] = ‘./uploads_liquor/’.$img_path;
$thumb[‘new_image’] = ‘./uploads/’.$img_path.‘_thumb’;
$thumb[‘create_thumb’] = TRUE;
$thumb[‘maintain_ratio’] = TRUE;
$thumb[‘width’] = 75;
$thumb[‘height’] = 50;

$this->image_lib->initialize($thumb);

$this->image_lib->resize();
if ($this->image_lib->resize())
{
echo ‘image resized’;
}
else
{
echo $this->image_lib->display_errors();
}

CI 1.6.1 htacces changed via web

2009-07-03T02:34:02-06:00

Hi all.
We use CI 1.6.1.
Yesterday htaccess somehow was changed on our hosting. System administrators don`t make this changes, so i think our project was hacked or framework somehow change htaccess file.

Iam right, or it just my paranoia?

BackendPro 0.5.1

2008-04-06T17:22:37-06:00

Title: BackendPro
Version: 0.5.1 (Only available for CodeIgniter 1.7)
Homepage: BackendPro Project at Kaydoo.co.uk
Download From: Assembla

Well its finished (well up to a point I am happy to release it). BackendPro is finally ready for its first initial public trials. Now some of you I know have been waiting for me to release it while others don’t have a clue what I am talking about. So lets have a look at it shall we?

What is it?
BackendPro is a control panel for developers written in PHP for the CodeIgniter framework. Its not like a CMS where it provides you with a full working system but it does provide you with part of a system. What I mean by this is it provides you with functionality to do all the simple repetitive tasks like authentication, permissions and a basic look and feel for your websites control panel. So using your current PHP and CodeIgniter knowledge you can use BackendPro to built a fully working website quickly since you can concentrate on your application instead of the bits to manage the system.

What can it do then?
It can do lots, not everything I have planned, there is still a lot I want to add like language detection, better error logging (with viewing features) but its been quite a while and I wanted to release something so people can try it. At the moment it has all the following features.

* User Authentication with registration and account activation
* User Permissions by using Access Control Lists (Has Access Control area to manage your websites access permissions)
* Site Preferences (Stored in a database with simple to use UI to update and change preferences)
* Asset Library (Means loading assets onto pages is quick and simple, also has asset caching to speed up the loading of asset files)
* PHP to javascript variable conversion (Easy way to pass PHP variables into your javascript scripts)
* ReCAPTCHA
* Status messages (Can display info/success/warning/error messages to the user)
* Breadcrumb trail creation

For screenshots visit my blog post on BackendPro

Where do I get it?
You can currently get it off my project page and also there are screenshots on my blog if anyone wants.

So there we go, download it and give it a go. Do read the installation instructions first, since its a developer control panel it doesn’t have protective features on everything, so without knowing what your doing you could corrupt the system (The reason for this is otherwise it takes away your ability to make the system how you want). You have been warned.

Problems with accents and special characters

2008-07-10T15:47:08-06:00

Hi guys
I’ve been developing a CI app, and now I’m facing some implementation/testing problems
It is about accents and some special spanish characters like Ñ

- My config/database.php has this value


$db['default']['dbcollat'] = "utf8_general_ci";

- My database and tables were created as “utf8_general_ci”

When I add a new record to the table, with an accent, The record gets saved, but it looses all the characters after the accent (including the accented char.)

Also, the special characters aren’t stored.

What should I change? Both, database.php and my db/tables are using the same coll.

EDIT: Can this be generating some conflict?
