Been Away, starting over with CI

[eluser]farocco[/eluser]
Hello,

I have not used CI for a long time as my jobs were all c# based.
I have been out of work now for a few months, and want to get back into CI.

I used to use a code generator in windows called phprunner, and wanted to know if there was anything like this for CI.

Most of my websites would be the same stuff, login, security, add, edit, delete, pagination using mySql.

How do I get started again? Is there a good tutorial that covers all the above?

1. Login
2. Security
3. Pagination
4. Validation

I am on a Mac now, and do not want to load windows.

Thanks

Frank

Hello!,

There are a few good tutorial you can watch, so you can pick back up your own CodeIgniter skill.I think when you watched the basics, you will see how things worked. These are some nice tutorials. On the other hand you got the User Guide which was for me a great help.

Tutorials from EllisLab.
First of all ofcourse the videotutorials from the codeigniter site, this will provide you with some basic codeigniter knowledge.

Tutorials about pagination and AJAX.
List with tutorials.
Web Lee got some nice things about pagination and Ajax with jQuery and Codeigniter.

Tutorials about basics and a lot more
Nettuts is a site with a lot tutorials, some about codeigniter
Basics
Create a file hosting site

Next to those 2 tutorials you've got the "Codeigniter from scratch series"
* Day 1: Getting Started With the Framework

* Day 2: Database Selecting Methods

* Day 3: Sending Emails

* Day 4: Newsletter signup.

Tutorials on DevShed
These tutorials will suit the best to your questions i think.

Library.
For authorization the most people(everybody i think ) use a library wich handles the most things(login,registration,rights) this library will be called from the controller.

A lot of Auth library's.
The problem with Codeigniter is that doesn't have its own authentication library.
This means you got a lot of different library's each with its own pros and cons.
If you would like to download an existing one i think you should look at the Ignited code section.Each library will have it's own user guide which will tell you how to use it.

Make your own
You could always make your own library which fits the best to your needs, bramme got a tutorial about how to write your own auth library. link

Hope this will help you.

Thanks,

I know I could code my own, but I am the only developer, and would need to get something up quickly to show the client.

so I guess, I am looking for snippets or plugins that I could use right away.

1. newsletters with emails being sent,
2. images, videos on the website.

Thanks

Frank
