Diary of a CodeIgniter SIte Day 5
So what did I do today...
Installed TinyMCE wysiwyg editor. Very cool, so simple, and it just works. Look, i can make things bold, and italic, and even underline without typing a single angle bracket! I'm only using it on my little backend for writing articles right now.
Still trying to get the hang of this...I think the hardest part is bouncing around from models to controllers, to views, and what should go where, and learning alot of stuff the hard way. Pretty clear that organization is a good idea.
I got the comment form working, so go ahead, make a comment. Lets see how many spammers nail me. Just a matter of time. At this point, anybody can post a comment. Captcha seems to be working.
For my own sake, i should recap some of the libraries and modifications I've made to the Codeigniter install (apart from, of course my own code)
- I'm using Template 1.4.1 to manage views
- I made a customized date helper from info here, I like mysql datetime fields, but needed something simple to re-format the date display.
- I'm using the captcha library from here
- I setup Datamapper but not yet using it. Gonna try things the Codeigniter way first.
That's enough for now.
