Open Blog 1.0.0 released |

thanks for the reply Kami, I appreciate it. Did you use the Modular Extentions - HMVC, MatchBox, or something else? any particular reason for your choice? I've been reading over a few of the modular options and it makes total sense to me, I'm just narrowing pros and cons for each Thanks again!

No problem, hope you found it helpful At first I used my own module library, but after some time I found MatchBox which was far better then my library so I decided to switch to it. To be honest I never really tried Modular Extensions - HMVC so I can't comment it (I have read the documentation and that's all).

Is Open Blog released on an earlier version of CodeIgniter? (less than 1.7) in the thread regarding Matchbox, there are apparently some compatibility bugs with the latest version of CI. The Matchbox author is aware of the issue, I just think he's busy with other things to be able to address them, which I understand. Thanks again for the insight Kami. Very helpful, Very grateful edit: there appears to be a solution. Thanks adijux

From my older post: [quote author="Kami_" date="1232050922"]Yep, it's based on CodeIgniter 1.7.0 (I upgraded from CodeIgniter 1.6.3 before releasing it), but it's using the old validation library. I didn't migrate to the new form validation library yet, because this would just cause bigger delay for the first release. New form validation library (among other new features and fixes) will be used in the next release (1.1.0).[/quote] In other private projects, I'm also using Matchbox and the new form_validation library with modified Loader.php (the fix you posted above should work fine as well).

Kami_ like many others here I am using OpenBlog 1.0.0 to help me learn about CI, and I love it. During my time playing and developing with OpenBlog and CI, I have made several of my own Admin Tools that all work fine inside the administration area (as expected). As you know you just have to add a controller, language file and model, then create a link and it works a treat. I am however having a small issue; the issue I cannot seem to get my head around is functionality with the front end. You create pages and navigation and this helps build your website which works great, but what if you want a page not just to have html content, but have functionality (I guess like the blog portion), I hit a brick wall. So the problem I’m having is let’s say I want to make a contact form, I don’t just want to add text to the text editor and have that link into the template, I want it to be a “contact form.” Do I need to make a new Controller, Language File, and Model inside the base modules folder? For example: Code: applications > modules -> contact Or would it go inside a pre-existing section like pages or blog? For example: Code: applications > modules -> pages Or would I add it as a function of the pages controller: For example: Code: function contact() I have tried about several different approaches, and I cannot get my head around this, I’m sorry to bother you but I have exhausted my ideas and you should have a better idea than I. Any help you can offer would be fantastic. Thanks in advance, you have made an awesome open-source product!

Is it possible to add one optional module which have some basic social functions like ‘add friends’, ‘members’, ‘send message’ into the application. I think that will be great.

By default, pages_routes.php looks like this: Code: $route['pages/(:any)'] = 'pages/page/$1'; If you want to add another routing rule to it, your pages_routes.php could look like this: Code: $route['pages/contact'] = 'pages/contact/index'; I hope this helps you [quote author="luffy" date="1234438419"]Is it possible to add one optional module which have some basic social functions like ‘add friends’, ‘members’, ‘send message’ into the application.

Release date for the new version is currently unfortunately unknown because I'm very busy at the work and in the college so I don't a lot of time to spend on Open Blog developing (don't worry though, Open Blog won't be abandoned).
