CI backend

[eluser]Vans[/eluser]
Hi everyone,
I'm helping a friend of mine with CI developing.
My tasks are all regarding the back end.
I never used CI and I don't know how to "visit"( url or how to reach)the back end, I should see how is it to modify.
Can anyone help me please?

Thank You !

I don't fully understand your question but CI is not a CMS like joomla or drupal, it is a framework. You would need to make your own backend.

This will help you.

If i have misunderstood your question then i imagine this is the bit you're looking for.

OK, thanks!!!
But how can I see the back end of this site? it has just been realized by someone else, not me.
I should "find" this back end and work on it.
Is this possible?

Thank you!!!

That is a little like asking where the needle is in the haystack when i'm not even in the field.

How on earth am i meant to know where someone has coded it? There is no preset place to code an admin backend with ci, you can do it however you want. I suggest you have a look through the controllers for one called something like "admin" or "secure" and go from there.

Hey vans,

Do you have access to the webserver / files of the application? That would be a great start.

I'm sorry.
I'm new in CI, maybe something could seem nosense....
but I'll do my best to improve...
Anyway thank you very much.
Now I try and I'll let you know!!!

[eluser]Vans[/eluser]
Yes , I Have access to the web server.
I'm working in localhost with apache...I tried to call .\system\application\controllers\welcome.php
but it says Fatal error: Class 'Controller' not found !?!?!?!?!?
What can I do?

Thank you!

Is this code you've made or code from someone else?

If it's yours, paste the code here.

[eluser]Vans[/eluser]
No it's not mine.
My friend past me the directory and I only put it on my webserver.
I haven't written a line still.

Where should be Class Controller ???

Tahnk you!

The main controller class should be in system/libraries/controller.php, but I highly suggest you read the user guide before continuing. It will save you a lot of frustration.
