symfony style admin/backend generator

[eluser]Majd Taby[/eluser]
You know what, I was thinking about it, it really isn't very useful to generate a whole backend for yourself automatically...that kinda goes against the whole philosophy of CI and is the reason I switched from Symfony to CI in the first place.

What I've been doing was create standalone libraries...so far i created one for simple, one level userauth, and another for formgeneration.

For form generation, here's the basic layout:

In you controller:

Code:

function edit(){
        $this->jtabyforms->initiate($this->spyc->YAMLLOAD('definitions/portal_form.yml'));
        $id = $this->uri->segment(3);
        echo $this->jtabyforms->getHTML();
    }

Then in the portal_form.yml config file:

Code:

title:
    class: TextBox
    label: Title
    attributes:
    value: Enter title here
date:
    class: TextBox
    label: Title
    attributes:
    value:
entry:
    class: TextArea
    label: Entry
    attributes:
        cols: 45
        rows: 10
    value:

The output of that code is:

Code:

<label for="title">
                Title
            </label>
            &lt;input type="text" value="Enter title here" name="title" /&gt;
        
            <label for="date">
                Title
            </label>
            &lt;input type="text" value="" name="date" /&gt;
        
            <label for="entry">

                Entry
            </label>
            &lt;textarea cols="45"rows="10"&gt;
                
            &lt;/textarea&gt;
