[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;    
    }

There's only one rule - please don't tell anyone to go and read the manual.  Sometimes the manual just SUCKS!

Use the table template like below:

PHP Code:

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

$tmpl = array (
    'table_open'            => '<table border="0" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0">',

    '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 class="alt">',
    'row_alt_end'            => '</tr>',
    'cell_alt_start'        => '<td>',
    'cell_alt_end'            => '</td>',

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

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


Example table manage method change to suit yourself.

/**
 * manage ()
 * --------------------------------------------------------------------
 *
 * Description:
 *
 * @param    string
 */
public function manage()
{
    // Grab an array of users from the database
    $data = $this->users->users();

    // Set table headings
    $this->table->set_heading('Username', 'Email', 'Actions');

    foreach($data as $value => $key)
    {
        // Build the table actions links
        $actions = anchor("admin/users/edit/".$key['id']."/", "Edit") . 
                   anchor("admin/users/delete/".$key['id']."/", "Delete");

        // Add row to table
        $this->table->add_row($key['username'], $key['email'], $actions);
    }

    // Load the view
    $this->load->view('users/manage');
} 


Hope this helps you.
