Flexigrid - Lightweight but rich data grid

2008-03-28T08:13:24-06:00

Hi guys,

This is not really PHP but its one of my open source projects, and you might be able to use it on one of your projects.

Its a data grid similar in concept with the Ext Grid only its pure jQuery love, which makes it light weight and follows the jQuery mantra of running with the least amount of configuration.

Its still in beta until I iron out the kinks.

here’s the link http://webplicity.net/flexigrid

Updated: 23 April 2008

Seems like Flexigrid has now become a better option for people looking for js data grids as Ext recently announce that it was moving to GPL 3.0

Updated:

Thanks to this guys for creating examples so other people can use Flexigrid, and made my life a little easier:

Tarichi [Update Preview V.03]

2008-04-30T19:58:20-06:00

Hi, this is my first post, I would like to tell you all that I just made something using CodeIgniter, but too many bugs founded by my friend, so, the demo isn’t already yet.

You can visit here at http://www.tarichi.com, but the site is in Indonesian.

The backpanel is in English. If the demo is ready to up, I’ll post here.

Modular Extensions - Version 4.2

2008-03-03T17:10:33-06:00

This marks the release of Version 4 of Modular Extensions - HMVC. (4th re-write)

Modular Extensions HMVC consists of two helper file and two library files, it enables you to use self contained HMVC modules that can be accessed by Controllers, Models and Views.

The scripts have been wriiten to be smaller, faster and to provide cascading file searching.

Module files will be loaded sucessfully if they are found located anywhere in the module directory search sequence, for example: Loading a module controller or partial named module.php

//Directory searching sequence
application/modules/{$module}/controllers/module.php
application/controllers/module.php

The same applies for models, libraries and views etc. Obviously the closer to the proper location your module is, the faster it will be loaded.

$this->load->something can be used withn modules just as within normal controllers.

Version 4 is described on the wiki. Modular Extensions - HMVC

Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks for your interest.

Super .htaccess file

2008-07-16T23:10:13-06:00

Well, I just wasn’t happy with the default .htaccess file that is provided in the Doc’s. So here is a more complex version that will keep people from accessing things like:
http://site.com/system/application/views/welcome_message.php
Which can be accessed with the unsafe default .htaccess file.

# Deny OR Allow Folder Indexes.
# Since we disable access to PHP files you 
# can leave this on without worries. 
# OR better yet, create a .htaccess file in
# the dir you want to allow browsing and
# set it to +Indexes
Options -Indexes

Options +FollowSymLinks

# Set the default file for indexes
DirectoryIndex index.php

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    # mod_rewrite rules
    RewriteEngine on

    # The RewriteBase of the system (if you are using this sytem in a sub-folder).
    # RewriteBase /CodeIgniter_1.6.3/
    
    # This will make the site only accessible without the "www." 
    # (which will keep the subdomain-sensive config file happy)
    # If you want the site to be accessed WITH the "www." 
    # comment-out the following two lines.
    # RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.site.com$ [NC]
    # RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://site.com/$1 [L,R=301]
    
    # If a controler can't be found - then issue a 404 error from PHP
    # Error messages (via the "error" plugin)
    # ErrorDocument 403 /index.php/403/
    # ErrorDocument 404 /index.php/404/
    # ErrorDocument 500 /index.php/500/
    
    # Deny any people (or bots) from the following sites: (to stop spam comments)
    # RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} nienschanz.ru [NC,OR]
    # RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} porn.com
    # RewriteRule .* - [F]
    # Note: if you are having trouble from a certain URL just 
    # add it above to forbide all visitors from that site.

    # You can also uncomment this if you know the IP:
    # Deny from 192.168.1.1
    
    # If the file is NOT the index.php file
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !index.php
    # Hide all PHP files so none can be accessed by HTTP
    RewriteRule (.*).php$ index.php/$1
    
    # If the file/dir is NOT real go to index
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [QSA,L]
    
</IfModule>

# If Mod_ewrite is NOT installed go to index.php
<IfModule !mod_rewrite.c>
    ErrorDocument 404 index.php
</IfModule>

With this file even valid links to .php files are blocked and you don’t have to make any more annoying index.html files that say “Not Allowed”. All CSS, IMG, JS, PDF, etc files are allowed AND you can enable Directory browsing (SVN) without worrying about people running your PHP files. Plus with this file you can block IP’s or Referrer requests if you deal with dump bots that always come from the same place.

URI Language Identifier

2008-04-09T21:45:19-06:00

This language class extension allows you to automatically prefix all site urls with a language abbreviation that is pre-defined in your config file or from a link and automatically load the corresponding language translation file, the route will then be corrected by the route regex for everything to work as normal.

Somewhere in the site you can provide the user with links allowing them to change their desired language name.
http://domain.tld/en/controller/method
http://domain.tld/es/controller/method
http://domain.tld/de/controller/method

Now available on the wiki: http://codeigniter.com/wiki/URI_Language_Identifier/

As usual, your comments and ideas are appreciated.

AutoValidate v0.01

2008-07-18T19:18:51-06:00

The more and more I played with Struts, the more I LOVED the idea of being able to automatically validate the input without needing to call functions, and being able to separate validation rules into files, as well as having a sort of tiered validation that allows validation at a controller or method level (or both).

As I toyed with a similar implementation for CI, I found that full automation wasn’t the best solution, so I went for simplification:

NOTE: If you have not fixed index.php faux-absolute-junk it does for apppath/basepath, you will probably need to disable the security, and this hasn’t exactly been tested in this way.

File: /application/libraries/Autovalidate.php

<?php if ( ! defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');

class Autovalidate {
    var $CI;
    var $_validation_dir;
    var $_validation_suffix = "_validation";
    var $_validation_security = TRUE;

    function Autovalidate()
    {
        $this->CI = &get;_instance();
        if( empty($this->CI->validation) ) $this->CI->load->library('validation');
        
        $dir = $this->CI->config->item('validation_directory');
        if(empty($dir)) $dir = "validation/";
        $this->set_validation_dir($dir);
    
        $security = $this->CI->config->item('validation_security');
        if($security) $this->_validation_security = $security;
        
        $suffix = $this->CI->config->item('validation_suffix');
        if($suffix) $this->_validation_suffix = $suffix;
        
        log_message('debug', "Validation Class Initialized");
    }
    
    function set_validation_dir($dir,$append=false)
    {
        if(empty($dir)) return;
        
        $dir = str_replace('\','/',$dir);

        $dir = $append ? realpath($this->_validation_dir . $dir) : realpath(APPPATH . $dir);
        $this->_validation_dir = str_replace('\','/',$dir);
        
        if(empty($this->_validation_dir) || !is_dir($this->_validation_dir)){
            show_error("Validation Error: The setting for validation directory is incorrect or the directory is missing.");
        } else if($this->_validation_security && strstr($this->_validation_dir,APPPATH) === FALSE) {
            show_error("Validation Security: This validation directory is incorrect or outside the application directory.");
        }
    }
    
    function validate_input($controller, $method=null){
        //Try base controller validation
        if( $this->_load_validation($controller . $this->_validation_suffix . EXT) === FALSE ) return false;
        
        //Try method specific validation
        if( !empty($method) && $this->_load_validation($controller.'_'.$method . $this->_validation_suffix . EXT) === FALSE ) return false;
        
        return true;
    }
    
    function _load_validation($file)
    {
        if( file_exists($this->_validation_dir.$file) ){
            
            include_once($this->_validation_dir.$file);
            if(!empty($rules)) $this->CI->validation->set_rules($rules);
            if(!empty($fields)) $this->CI->validation->set_fields($fields);
            return $this->CI->validation->run();
        }
        return true;
    }    
    
}

/application/config/config.php (optional)

/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Validation Directory
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| This is the directory (in the application folder) to locate the validation
| files in. Should end with a '/'.
|
*/
$config['validation_directory'] = 'validation/';

/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Validation Security
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| This flag enables or disables the validation security which verifies
| that the directory for validation files is not outside the application
| directory.
|
*/
$config['validation_security'] = TRUE;

/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Validation File Suffix
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| This sets the suffix of the files that will be used for validation
| (in case you choose to put these files inside your controller directory).
|
*/
$config['validation_suffix'] = "_validation";

set_validation_dir - sets the directory to use for validation files. Useful if you want to set a different directory for a controller or method. Setting the second parameter to TRUE will append the directory to the existing.
Example:

set_validation_dir("validate/"); 
// equates to path/to/application/validate/

set_validation_dir("controller/",TRUE); 
//equates to path/to/application/validate/controller/

validate_input - takes two parameters (controller name, method name [optional]). Calling this will automatically load the validation files and run the validation. First “controller” validation will be loaded, then “controller_method” validation if passed. Returns TRUE if passed, FALSE if failed. Errors are available in the standard fashion by calling $this->validation library (which is autoloaded if it does not exist when loading autovalidate).

Example Usage (default configuration)

// application/controller/test.php
//a standard CI controller with autovalidate loaded.
function submit()
{
  if(!$this->autovalidate->validate_input('test','submit')){
    //test_form.html is a simple form with a text field for submission
    $this->load->view('test_form.html');
    echo 'Failed Validation.<br />';
    return;
  }
   echo 'Passed!';
}

// application/validation/test_validation.php
$rules['testing'] = "min_length[5]|max_length[128]";
$fields['testing']    = 'Testing';

// application/validation/test_submit_validation.php
$rules['testing'] = "required";
