[Solved] Adding Extra Columns To The HTML Table Library

On my category controller I am using the codeigniter library table class

Every thing is working fine but I would like to know is for each row it need to have it's own

category edit button / link. And be able to like anchor('category/update/' . $category['category_id'])

I do not know how to modify the table for that

Question How to modify the $this->table->generate to be able to add a link for each category.



Model Function

PHP Code:

public function get_categories() {
    $this->db->select('*');
    $this->db->from($this->db->dbprefix . 'category');
    $query = $this->db->get();

    if ($query->num_rows() > 0) {
        return $query->result_array();
    } else {
        return false;
    }
} 


Controller

PHP Code:

<?php

class Category extends MY_Controller {

    public function __construct() {
        parent::__construct();
        $this->load->library('form_validation');
    }
    
    public function index() {
        $this->dynamic->set_title('Category');

        $data['breadcrumbs'] = array();

        $data['breadcrumbs'][] = array(
            'active' => '',
            'href' => anchor('admin/dashboard', 'Home')
        );

        $data['breadcrumbs'][] = array(
            'active' => 'class="active"',
            'href' => 'Category'
        );

        $this->load->library('table');

        $template = array(
        'table_open'            => '<table class="table table-striped table-bordered">',

        'thead_open'            => '<thead>',
        'thead_close'           => '</thead>',

        'heading_row_start'     => '<tr>',
        'heading_row_end'       => '</tr>',
        'heading_cell_start'    => '<th>',
        'heading_cell_end'      => '</th>',

        'tbody_open'            => '<tbody>',
        'tbody_close'           => '</tbody>',

        'row_start'             => '<tr>',
        'row_end'               => '</tr>',
        'cell_start'            => '<td>',
        'cell_end'              => '</td>',

        'row_alt_start'         => '<tr>',
        'row_alt_end'           => '</tr>',
        'cell_alt_start'        => '<td>',
        'cell_alt_end'          => '</td>',

        'table_close'           => '</table>'
        );

        $this->table->set_heading(array('Category ID', 'Parent ID', 'Category Name', 'Category URL', 'Category Status', 'Category Date Added', 'Category Edit'));

        $this->table->set_template($template);

        $data['categories'] = $this->table->generate($this->get_categories());

        $data['header'] = Modules::run('admin/common/header/index');
        $data['footer'] = Modules::run('admin/common/footer/index');
        $data['timeout'] = Modules::run('admin/common/timeout/index');
        $data['navbar'] = Modules::run('admin/common/navbar/index');

        $this->load->view('template/catalog/category_view', $data);

    }

    public function get_categories() {
        $this->db->select('*');
        $this->db->from($this->db->dbprefix . 'category');
        $query = $this->db->get();

        if ($query->num_rows() > 0) {
            return $query->result_array();
        } else {
            return false;
        }
    }
} 


Update I think I have the model correct now


 

PHP Code:

public function get_categories() {
        $this->db->select('*');
        $this->db->from($this->db->dbprefix . 'category');
        $query = $this->db->get();

        if ($query->num_rows() > 0) {

            foreach ($query->result_array() as $result) {
                $data[] = array(
                    'categor_id' => $result['category_id'],
                    'parent_id' => $result['parent_category_id'],
                    'name' => $result['name'],
                    'url' => $result['url'],
                    'status' => $result['status'],
                    'date_added' => $result['date_added'],
                    'category_edit' => anchor('admin/category/update/' . $result['category_id'], 'Edit')
                );
            }
    
        } else {
            return false;
        }

        return $data;    
    }
