[quote author="Dam1an" date="1241552040"][quote author="NachoF" date="1241551717"]So the way one is supposed to use this is that after you run it you copy and paste the controllers/views/models folders into your actual project??... is there a way you guys could get the user to specify the name of the folder where the actual project is stored at and then your program would automatically save the files there?.... just a little recommendation.[/quote]
If you do it this way (which I would prefer) you would need to be sure to not overwrite any files (maybe if that file exists, then put it in the output directory) or have a checkbox to overwrite files[/quote]
Or maybe just change the name of the file and then the user resolves the conflict.

[eluser]Dam1an[/eluser]
I can see that causing problems
Lets say you want to create a model calles user_model.php but that file exists, so you cann it user_model2.php (and the class decleration will also be User_model2), the user doesn't notice this (or ignores any notices), starts calling it, and the functions he calls aren't there, as its referencing the old user_model.php... he deletes the old one, renames the new one (forgetting about the class decleration)... still doesn't work... Get the idea?

hello friends,

yes this is the next goal of the app, which we will hopefully work on the weekend.

the next version will get some input from the user, and then give out the output
for all tables of the database so you just have to copy it once and it is done


anything more you would like to see?

btw: we are already planing to add some warnings for incompatible names
thats because there is no "list" function, instead there is a "enroll" function

I think its pretty awesome what you guys are doing but it has made me start thinking about how codeigniter is lacking many things that other frameworks have that should come built in...because even if you can add plugins/libraries it cant reach full potential cause these plugins/libraries are made for pure codeigniter installations without any other library assumed to be installed.... let me give an example.... looking at these forums I have started using DMZ Damatamapper and I love it, it makes every query very easy and pretty much eliminates the need to spend lots of times on models...now, I would also love to have a scaffold program that made it easy to create CRUD viws/functions for my tables but whats the point if its not gonna use the datamapper library Im currently using??...Ill end up having to pretty much editing all the code... see?.... I know this is not your fault but Im just saying that if a feature like datamapper came built in into CI (like it does on rails for instance) you guys could be making your CRUD app based on it and not just on CI´s primitive active record class... you guys get what Im saying?

Hello

i must say, yes and no.
i have the terrible instinct of not using libs and things that are not marked as official.
BECAUSE if they someday would not update, ALL of your code would break in a second.
Maybe that is the reason.

but i WILL however take a look at DMZ Damatamapper, and try to inscpect the benefits of
it.

thanks for your friendly comments

Why would we make an app that would integrate every single third party library out there ? It wouldn't work because maybe you are using that certain library, but person X wouldn't. That's why it's much better to just generate basic CI powered PHP and give the user the freedom to do whatever he wants with it.

im definitely sure he wanted to say it as a good intended suggestion, thats what we all want
we want to see what can be done, what would be cool.

[eluser]Dreammaker[/eluser]
I vote for usage of ORM in iScaffold. For example we can see Propel or Doctrine in symfony. It use ORM as well as generating of code.

I did, but it's just not going to happen. Adding an infinite amount of libraries would be completely useless. Unless the libraries aren't extremely popular I don't see any reason why we should support them all.

Again, iScaffold is an application that will do the dirty and boring work, such as creating your basic controllers, for you, nothing more, nothing less.

Tried this iScaffold and didnt get it to work at first. I had the database.php setup correctly but the first page didnt shown the link "CLICK HERE TO BEGIN". I then had a quick looksee and problem is that this is using php short tags in a lot of places. I suggest to get rid of them as short tags are usually set off by default in many hosts(and my local wamp setup).

Ok. Got that off my chest and will try it out more
