Installation script for a CodeIgniter-based CMS - El Forum - 11-08-2011
[eluser]Unknown[/eluser]
As a way to teach myself CodeIgniter I'm creating a CMS (here: https://github.com/TCotton/CodeSharp).
I'm looking at creating an installation script for the database. So here is my thought process so far:
I've placed this in the central contoller file:
Code:
if (file_exists("application/views/admin/install_view.php")) {
redirect(site_url("install"));
}The idea being is that the user is automatically redirected to the install script, they fill in their user details and submit the form; the database is then created and the file destroyed. Then they'll find themselves back on the home page with a working CMS ready to go.
However, the models are still making calls to tables which don't yet exist:
Code:
A Database Error Occurred
Error Number: 1146
Table 'cotton_codesharp.admin' doesn't exist
SELECT * FROM (`admin`)
Filename: /home/cotton/public_html/codesharp/models/admin_config_model.php
Line Number: 105Does anybody have any ideas how I can get around this?
