I'm building a site where I have a few functions in my controller that send out emails. One for example will send an email if someone forgets their password. The email will contain their password as well as information about their account pulled from the database.

Everything works great, my only issue is that I don't like having all of the email's subject copy in my controller. Is there a way to take the copy and store it in a separate file? I've tried creating a config file, the problem was that the variables in the email subject were not being recognized and were throwing errors.

It seems like a language file would make the most sense but I might run into the same problems with the variables.

Any thoughts or ideas?

Alrighty well I have created an uploading system where upon signing up a user gets a unique folder 40 characters long created for them in an uploads folder. Here is my folder schema.

System
Uploads
Htdocs

Is it a good practice for the uploads folder to be outside the htdocs folder and is it a good practice for each user to get their own folder? If there is any conventional way to organize images and retrieve them(serving them from a php file so as to protect the original location and thwarting bandwidth thieves) could someone please point me in the right direction?


Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks,
Mark

I'm looking to run a small search engine on my site.

Anyway, I want the user to simply type some words in a search box and click submit. The action form is set to GET instead of POST.

This makes the URL look like:

example.com/search/q?search=amiga+computers

My problem is that I can't seem to get my function "q" that is in my "search" controller to grab the search string "amiga+computers".

I imagine it's because I don't have query strings enabled.

I would settle for something like:

example.com/search/q/amiga+computers

But how do I get my input html to send the data like that? Is URL routing my answer?

Thanks!

Sorry if this very newbie level, but I am trying to find the best way to approach working with say multiple images in CI. I am working on portfolio site for a client (architects), and I have id,title,body, and images value for the database table projects. In the past I would store the image paths(comma separated) in my table. Then in the front end explode the array and loop through to spit them out. I am wondering if anyone has any better solutions, thoughts on this. The portfolio projects could range from having 1 image to maybe 20 images, so its different from post to post.

Alternate idea I had: read a directory (for that post id) for the images? So store a directory path instead o the actual image paths?

Curious what solutions anyones come up with or think works the best...

Heya,

I've been trying every .htacces example availible on the forums and tried them all but still I can't get my images to work but my css on the other hand works rather fine (some small problem with body).

My build.

I'm having a problem getting the sessions function to work properly. I have a login function that checks for login info and then sets a session value (I'm storing session info in a database) as follows:

function login()
{
$this->load->model('check_login');
$data = $this->check_login->ck_name();
$id = $data;
if ($id > 0)
{
$newdata = array('status' => 'ok');
$this->session->set_userdata($newdata);
$this->home();
}else{
$this->login_error();
}
}

When I run the above I get this error message "Message: Undefined property: Start::$session" which I assumed was because I didn't load the session library.

But, when I load the sessions library ($this->session->library('session') prior to the set_userupdate I get the following error "Message: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by..."

Could use some help understanding this....thanks!

Ok, for the last 2 HOURS I could not get a basic install of CI to work. I've done it a ZILLION times.

But this time, I kept getting 500 errors.

I am using Arch Linux and normally I always install with this directory structure:

/home/httpd/system
/home/httpd/html/index.php

The index.php is the only file (other than .htaccess) that is in the web root. This works.

Well, I needed to work from my home directory because I've got Samba running on the machine. So, I installed CI (from a FRESH install of Arch) to:

/home/cbmeeks/projects/system
/home/httpd/html/index.php

The index.php was pointing to the correct /home/cbmeeks/projects/system path.

This did NOT work! Seriously, I spent 2 hours trying to get it to work. PHP was working (via phpinfo), apache was working. I restarted, rebooted, etc. I've done this before...at least I think I have.

But anyway, why would that not work?

Thanks

Hello,

Does anybody know of some good CI applications whose source code is made available to look at? I'm interested in this due to learning purposes.

I already know about Bamboo :-) If you have an application you've coded yourself, feel free to share it - please.

Many thanks.
