iScaffold

I’m planning to renew the configurator & generator code into a single page app. The work is currently in the brainstorming phase. If all goes well, my friend bjmatt will join me to create an ultra-cool GUI written in mostly JavaScript.

Nothing fancy yet :)

I’ve just pushed a new version to GitHub. It fixes the issues with one=>many relations. Now you can see the related table’s fields in the listing and show view.

I’ve also updated the delete function for the referred tables in the model template. It now deletes the records from the switch table as well.

I’ve created a Wiki on GitHub with greater detail about how you can set things up.

I’ve just finished a small mainentence update on the project.

Updates:

• iScaffold and the generated code now both use CodeIgniter to 2.1
• Smarty 3.1.7
• Moved the geneartor GUI files to the /repo directory

Fixed some of the bugs also:

• If you picked the wrong database in the config, the generate link didn’t showed up.
• In the dashboard.tpl there was a Smarty error.

The project is one step closer to become the ultimate code factory for CodeIgniter. I’ve added many features and spent a lot of time to make this project a usable tool for developers and administrators.

It’s safe to say that you can handle the administration area to your clients or colleges with little or no modification.

So here are the updates:

• The generated code is powered by CodeIgniter 2.03
• The generator now generates an entire application, including CodeIgniter
• You can configure to hide fields in the listing view
• Self join support. Now you can join a table to itself, now you can easily manage fields like “parent_id”
• Template lite replaced with Smarty 3.1.3
• Automatic password protection
• Embedded widgets. WYSIWYG editor and datepicker plugin now included.
• jQuery based widgets
• Applied a version of Pilu’s webapp theme
• Multi delete support
• Required fields are now marked with a star
• File upload validation bugfix
• Timestamp bugfix
• Moved project to GitHub
