Simple question/issue...new to CodeIgniter - El Forum - 05-25-2012
[eluser]codelogic[/eluser]
Hi all,
I am very new to CodeIgniter, but I would consider myself pretty skilled with PHP.
Since I am new, I thought a good place to start would be the User Guide tutorial for creating a News Page. http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-guide/tutorial/news_section.html
However, I am having a very annoying issue that I cannot get fixed. When I fill out my news form (with a title and text) and hit the "Create news item" button on the form, it redirects me to http://[my-site-url]/CI/index.php/news/create/[my-site-url]/CI/index/news/create/ with a 404 error. It seems to be copying and pasting my URL into the address bar without deleting the previous address.
Could it be that I am not connecting to the database correctly? I am almost positive that I am connecting correctly as I have quadruple checked my login info to make sure it was right.
Here is my code it's fairly simple and right from the tutorial... all I have is a 1 model, 4 views, and 1 controller.
If anyone can figure out why this weird mistake is happening with my URL I would be very happy. Thanks!!
Edit: Fixed!! Had to add http:// to my base_url.
Edit 2: Running into a second problem where I want to view a single article, however it redirects me to index.php/news/news/(my article) instead of index.php/news/(my article).
index.php creates the "view article" link.
Model: news_model.php
Code:
<?php
class News_model extends CI_Model {
public function __construct()
{
$this->load->database();
}
public function get_news($slug = FALSE)
{
if ($slug === FALSE)
{
$query = $this->db->get('news');
return $query->result_array();
}
$query = $this->db->get_where('news', array('slug' => $slug));
return $query->row_array();
}
public function set_news()
{
$this->load->helper('url');
$slug = url_title($this->input->post('title'), 'dash', TRUE);
$data = array(
'title' => $this->input->post('title'),
'slug' => $slug,
'text' => $this->input->post('text')
);
return $this->db->insert('news', $data);
}
}Views: index.php, create.php, view.php, success.php
index.php
Code:
<?php foreach ($news as $news_item): ?>
<h2><?php echo $news_item['title'] ?></h2>
<div id="main">
<?php echo $news_item['text'] ?>
</div>
<p><a href="news/<?php echo $news_item['slug'] ?>">View article</a></p>
<?php endforeach ?>create.php
Code:
<h2>Create a news item</h2>
<?php echo validation_errors(); ?>
<?php echo form_open('news/create') ?>
<label for="title">Title</label>
<input type="input" name="title" /><br />
<label for="text">Text</label>
<textarea name="text"></textarea><br />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Create news item" />
</form>view.php
Code:
<?php
echo '<h2>'.$news_item['title'].'</h2>';
echo $news_item['text'];success.php
Code:
Success!Controller: news.php
Code:
<?php
class News extends CI_Controller {
public function __construct()
{
parent::__construct();
//load our model
$this->load->model('news_model');
}
//The code below gets all news records from the model and assigns it to a variable.
public function index()
{
$data['news'] = $this->news_model->get_news();
$data['title'] = 'News archive';
$this->load->view('templates/header', $data);
$this->load->view('news/index', $data);
$this->load->view('templates/footer');
}
//individually view news items.
public function view($slug)
{
$data['news'] = $this->news_model->get_news($slug);
if (empty($data['news_item']))
{
show_404();
}
$data['title'] = $data['news_item']['title'];
$this->load->view('templates/header', $data);
$this->load->view('news/view', $data);
$this->load->view('templates/footer');
}
public function create()
{
$this->load->helper('form');
$this->load->library('form_validation');
$data['title'] = 'Create a news item';
$this->form_validation->set_rules('title', 'Title', 'required');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('text', 'text', 'required');
if ($this->form_validation->run() === FALSE)
{
$this->load->view('templates/header', $data);
$this->load->view('news/create');
$this->load->view('templates/footer');
}
else
{
$this->news_model->set_news();
$this->load->view('news/success');
}

Can you also show the section of your view that shows the <form> open tag.

[/quote]No worries
. I was thinking it may be some kind of error with form_open(). Also... after checking my database, it is EMPTY. That means the form is not submitting data to my database either, as well as displaying a messed up copied URL as above.

I'll have a think but nothing jumps out at me right now.
If you haven't already then edit your application/config/config.php and set:
Code:
$config['log_threshold'] = 4;Simple question/issue...new to CodeIgniter - El Forum - 05-25-2012

Sounds like your base url or routes are messed up someplace.
Show your base url and routes file.

[eluser]Ayeyermaw[/eluser]
oh!
Maybe you are overriding the log path?
In the same config file check
Code:
$config['log_path'] = '';if you still cant see the log files then there's a problem with your codeigniter setup

I did not override it, I left it blank! And I believe my settup is fine... I don't see what is wrong with my setup.
Damn I want this problem to be fixed so I can move along with learning more CodeIgniter.
Edit: I fixed the issue by adding http://. I guess it was that simple of a fix
.But... I have ran into another minor problem. When I click 'view article' on my index.php/news page... it directs me to index.php/news/news/[article] with a 404.
