Evolving past scaffolding (new to CI) - El Forum - 02-01-2009 [eluser]Unknown[/eluser] Hello, In Rails, I liked throwing up scaffolding, then modifying the scaffolding in iterations until it no longer looked anything like the default. In CI, I like the default scaffolding for getting data into my database, but now I want to move beyond it and start making my own admin areas. However, I'm having trouble seeing the Code Igniter-style way to do this. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

It is definitely not the way to kick off an app. Evolving past scaffolding (new to CI) - El Forum - 02-02-2009 [eluser]Unknown[/eluser] I'm new to CI, so I obviously don't know much about its philosophy. That said, scaffolding doesn't only serve to get data into your database quickly. It's also a great way to show new developers how things work, and to provide something to build off of. I'm surprised scaffolding in CI is limited to something of such little value -- after all, anyone can install phpmyadmin to do basic CRUD.

It ultimately didn't fit in with their vision of the framework. |
