Fix an anchor issue - Mekaboo - 06-24-2019
Hello all!
I uploaded code from git into my site but having an issue anchoring the controller to view. This is my anchor:
<?= anchor('chat/index','Chat');?>
This is the controller/function that Im trying to connect:
class Chat extends Controller {
function Chat() {
parent::Controller();
$this->load->database('cultured_codeignite');
$this->load->model('mod_chat');
$this->load->library(array('session', 'authentication'));
}
function index() {
//outsiders keep out
$this->authentication->sentry();
$ctr = 0;
//get all chat messages from buddy
$username = $this->session->userdata('username');
$recipient = $this->session->userdata('recipient');
$fetchchat = $this->mod_chat->fetchchat($username, $recipient);
$chatreverse = '';
//reverse results of chat, bottom message is latest
foreach ($fetchchat as $chatorig) {
$chatreverse[$ctr]['username'] = $chatorig->username;
$chatreverse[$ctr]['message'] = $chatorig->message;
$time = explode(' ', $chatorig->time);
$reformat_time = date("g:i a", strtotime($time[1]));
$chatreverse[$ctr]['time'] = $reformat_time;
++$ctr;
}
$data['chat'] = '';
$data['buddy'] = $this->session->userdata('recipient');
$buddyimage = $this->mod_chat->get_buddy_image($this->session->userdata('recipient'));
$data['buddyimage'] = $buddyimage[0]->image;
//throw messages to view
if (is_array($chatreverse)) {
$users['username'] = $username;
$users['recipient'] = $recipient;
$this->mod_chat->message_read($users);
$data['chat'] = array_reverse($chatreverse);
}
$this->load->view('view_chat', $data);
}
The viewer is view_chat that Im trying to connect to. How do I get this to work?

@Mekaboo,
What errors are you seeing? Also, what does <?= anchor('chat/index','Chat');?> put out?
RE: Fix an anchor issue - InsiteFX - 06-25-2019
Your constructor is using the old style.
PHP Code:
// change this
function Chat()
{
parent::Controller();
$this->load->database('cultured_codeignite');
$this->load->model('mod_chat');
$this->load->library(array('session', 'authentication'));
}
// to this
function __construct()
{
parent::__construct);
$this->load->database('cultured_codeignite');
$this->load->model('mod_chat');
$this->load->library(array('session', 'authentication'));
}
Try that and see if it works.

Hey! I get a 404 error saying that the page is not found. Basic error..the page isnt loading at all. Im trying to figure out if its because of the function.

PHP Code:// change this
function Chat()
{
parent::Controller();
$this->load->database('cultured_codeignite');
$this->load->model('mod_chat');
$this->load->library(array('session', 'authentication'));
}
// to this
function __construct()
{
parent::__construct);
$this->load->database('cultured_codeignite');
$this->load->model('mod_chat');
$this->load->library(array('session', 'authentication'));
}
Try that and see if it works.

@Mekaboo,
I need to see what anchor value is being displayed on the page. Is it something like... https://yoursite.com/index.php/chat/index
If so, then try removing the index and see if that works. Like this <?= anchor('chat','Chat');?>
Also, I noticed that you didn't load the url helper ( https://www.codeigniter.com/user_guide/helpers/url_helper.html )
RE: Fix an anchor issue - Wouter60 - 06-25-2019
Is your controller Chat.php ? With a capital C ?
If that's the case, what's the url that shows up in your browser after you clicked the "anchor"?

Thank ya all! I tried various ways to correct things from copy/paste from one controller to another as well as doing the same process for the models. Parts worked but not all. I looked up alternatives and found this one:

Had the "Undefined Variable error but this time I seem to fix on my own (WooHoo)..now its time to test.
Thank you all for the help,it means alot
