Codeigniter shopping cart v1.1 Part 2 categories module

We start creating a module. The first one is the categories module.

When you create a category, you need to enter the category name, Short Description and Long Description.
We are using TinyMCE in short and long description area.

Download Page

Module: Categories

There is a status drop-down to select active and inactive.
If you want to create a sub-category, select a parent category from ‘Category Parent’ drop-down. There will be all the category you created.

I have added an accordion on the right side in Create Category page. You can modify it in categories/views/admin/category_right.php which you can find at the end of this page.

In the Category home page, I used dataTables so that you can sort, search, display different numbers of record etc.

Database

Dump the following sql.

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `omc_category` (
  `id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `name` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
  `shortdesc` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
  `longdesc` text NOT NULL,
  `status` enum('active','inactive') NOT NULL,
  `parentid` int(11) NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM  DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 AUTO_INCREMENT=96 ;

mytools plugin

We are going to make a plugin called mytools_pi.php in module\categories\plugins folder.

When you create a new category, this will create a new folder and thumbnails folder in it. When you delete it, this will delete the folder and sub-folders and files as well.

Please note that we are calling a MProducts model which we haven’t added yet. And also change in the following lines. We are loading mytools plugin and using its function here.

...
// Loading plugin mytools which we have added earlier
		$this->load->plugin('mytools');
...
...
// we used to use like this. $this->session->set_flashdata('message','Category created');
// now we are using Bep's flashMsg function to show messages.
flashMsg('success',$this->lang->line('userlib_category_created'));

...
...

// createdirname function is from plugin mytools.php
			$folder = createdirname($string);

...
// This is how BackendPro do
