Hi, I'm a complete novice with regards to this so was looking for some advice. I've been asked to make some amendments to a website (I mainly work with .net and c# but know a bit about php and content management in general). Looking at it its been done with codeigniter but I have no idea how to make amendments etc. Do I dive in a start hacking around the code or is there some kind of interface/gui (and where would this generally be accessed from)? The website is running off a mySQL database by the looks of the config files I've found. Can I edit website content stored in the mySQL database via codeigniter?
Even simple stuff like updating a template for example, I'm kinda at a loss with at the moment.
I've downloaded the "System" folder off the webserver so I have a local copy. This includes an "application" folder and "codeigniter" folder amongst others. Is this all I need to get started? I presuming this includes all the codeigniter software and amended code for the website I'm trying to amend (i.e. downloading codeigniter off codeigniter.com would effectively be giving me a blank website/framework, like dot net nuke perhaps?)
Sorry these questions probably sound a bit dumb and seem to be beneath even the Wiki and help files so was hoping this forum could shed some light. Any help would be massively appreciated. Thanks.
