I am trying to make a CRUD Module in Codeigniter HMVC but I seem to be missing something in the process. Here is what I am facing.
I have a News Module which has a Manage function
function manage(){
$grid = Modules::run('Crud/renderGrid', 'News' , 'News management');
}
Render Grid Function
function renderGrid($module , $page_title){
$data['page_title'] = $page_title; //Dynamic
$data['module'] = $module;
$data['view_module'] = 'Crud';
$data['displayfields'] = Modules::run($module.'/get_displayfields');
$data['key'] = Modules::run($module.'/get_key');
$data['rows'] = Modules::run($module.'/get' , $data['key']);
$data['view_file'] = 'manage';
$this->load->module('dashboard');
$this->dashboard->show_dashboard($data);
}
Here, the show_dashboard function just loads up a template layout with a desired view in it.
function show_dashboard($data = NULL){
if($data == NULL){
$data['view_file'] = "manage";
$data['page_title'] = 'Sigma Web Solutions';
}
$this->load->module('templates');
$this->templates->admin($data);
}
Templates->admin
function admin($data){
$this->load->view('admin' , $data);
}
The View (omitting the header n Footer)
<?php
if (!isset($view_file)) {
$view_file = "";
}
if (!isset($view_module)) {
$module = $this->uri->segment(1);
}
if (($view_module!="") && ($view_file!="")) {
$path = $view_module."/".$view_file;
$this->load->view($path);
}
?>
Now, when I try the url news/manage, it gives me a blank page with no source code in it. But when I try something like
crud/renderGrid/news/sometitle/ it works just fine.
Kindly point out what did I miss here. Thanks.
Working Solution:
Thanks to wolf I added a route
$route['managenews']= 'crud/renderGrid/news/News';
And it works like charm. But why do I need a route here? Shouldn't it just work. And this means for every module I need to have 4 entries in my route file for the CRUD system to work. can anyone suggest a better method?
