Dear all,
I'm following CI tutorial on creating "News" page. I got problem when submit button in creating news is pushed, it doesn't bring execute create page controller but instead it executes view page controller. I suspect the problem lies on the router.
Here is the route configuration:
Code:
$route['news/create'] = 'news/create';
$route['news/(:any)'] = 'news/view/$1';
$route['news'] = 'news';
$route['(:any)'] = 'pages/view/$1';
$route['default_controller'] = 'pages/view';
if submit button pressed, it's supposed to go to news/create, but it doesn't. I suppose the form_open function take care of that, right?
The create news view:
Code:
<h2>Create a news item</h2>
<?php echo validation_errors(); ?>
<?php echo form_open('news/create') ?>
<label for="title">Title</label>
<input type="input" name="title" /><br />
<label for="text">Text</label>
<textarea name="text"></textarea><br />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Create news item" />
</form>
Here is the controller, when submit is pressed, it supposed to go to "create" function, but instead it goes to "view" function.
Code:
class News extends CI_Controller {
public function __construct()
{
parent::__construct();
$this->load->model('news_model');
}
public function index()
{
$data['news'] = $this->news_model->get_news();
$data['title'] = 'News archive';
$this->load->view('templates/header', $data);
$this->load->view('news/index', $data);
$this->load->view('templates/footer');
}
public function view($slug)
{
$data['news'] = $this->news_model->get_news($slug);
if (empty($data['news_item']))
{
show_404();
}
$data['title'] = $data['news_item']['title'];
$this->load->view('templates/header', $data);
$this->load->view('news/view', $data);
$this->load->view('templates/footer');
}
public function create()
{
$this->load->helper('form');
$this->load->library('form_validation');
$data['title'] = 'Create a news item';
$this->form_validation->set_rules('title', 'Title', 'required');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('text', 'text', 'required');
if ($this->form_validation->run() === FALSE)
{
$this->load->view('templates/header', $data);
$this->load->view('news/create');
$this->load->view('templates/footer');
}
else
{
$this->news_model->set_news();
$this->load->view('news/success');
}
}
}
What did I miss?
