Diary of a CodeIgniter Site Day 4
Man my head hurts
Luckily a gloomy and rainy Saturday, good weather for spending way too much time in front of a computer. This is finally a dynamic CodeIgniter website.
Starting at like 8am today, I got around to setting up the database (arguably, that's probably the first thing you should do). Right now its simple, an article table, a comment table, and an authors table. Right now I'm the only author, and I haven't setup controller for comments yet. So there's stuff to do in those regards. I came across Formigniter (google it) which is pretty cool for getting some quick form generation, so I have the beginning of a backend for adding posts and such.
I wanted to implement the Template 1.4.1 library, and I did that this afternoon. It takes a couple hours to get my head around, but once I got rolling it seems like the way to do it. A few things I'm just not quite getting on this, maybe I should sleep on it.
Working with single row query results has me baffled right now, just don't get this - I have an object, but I can't do something like 'echo $myobject->myvalue', but if I var_dump it, it's all there. Need sleep
My backend for posts isn't wysiwig, I'm manually HTML tagging it, gotta do something about that
You'll notice the comment form is no longer here, it should return tommorrow, and actually work too!g'nite
