Create and Send Email

Layer7web — Sat, 09 Jan 2016 21:26:27 +0000

This is actually the codeigniter email library. I have added this to the codeigniter forum as well.

$this->load->library('encrypt');
		$this->load->library('email');

		//-- setup request
		$request_array = array($user->generate_reset_key(), $user->id, $user->email, time());
		$request_string = implode($this->_request_delimiter, $request_array);
		$encoded_request = base64url_encode( $this->encrypt->encode($request_string) );

		//send the email
		$this->email->initialize(array('mailtype' => 'html'));

		$this->email->from($this->config->item('from_noreply'), $this->config->item('website_name'));
		$this->email->to($user->email); 

		$this->email->subject($this->config->item('website_name').' Password Reset Request');
		$view_data = array(
			'email'  => $user->email,
			'request'   => $encoded_request,
			'lang'	=> $user->language
		);
		$message = $this->load->view('_emails/reset_password', $view_data, TRUE);
		$this->email->message($message);
                
                if($this->email->send())
		{
			return true;
		}
		else{
			log_message('ERROR', __CLASS__.'->'.__FUNCTION__.' failed to send reset request email to '.$user->email);
		}

		return false;

$this->load->library('encrypt');

$this->load->library('email');

//-- setup request

$request_array = array($user->generate_reset_key(), $user->id, $user->email, time());

$request_string = implode($this->_request_delimiter, $request_array);

$encoded_request = base64url_encode( $this->encrypt->encode($request_string) );

//send the email

$this->email->initialize(array('mailtype' => 'html'));

$this->email->from($this->config->item('from_noreply'), $this->config->item('website_name'));

$this->email->to($user->email);

$this->email->subject($this->config->item('website_name').' Password Reset Request');

$view_data = array(

'email' => $user->email,

'request' => $encoded_request,

'lang' => $user->language

);

$message = $this->load->view('_emails/reset_password', $view_data, TRUE);

$this->email->message($message);

if($this->email->send())

{

return true;

}

else{

log_message('ERROR', __CLASS__.'->'.__FUNCTION__.' failed to send reset request email to '.$user->email);

}

return false;

Using a Model

Layer7web — Mon, 04 Jan 2016 01:43:08 +0000

Link to Docs: http://docs.getfuelcms.com/general/models

In order to make the model object available in your Controller (this is where you are using this right?) you need to add this to the top of the file:

$this->load->model('examples_model');

1	$this->load->model('examples_model');

Once you have loaded the model you can access the methods using:

$this->examples_model->method

1	$this->examples_model->method

Loading Views

Layer7web — Mon, 04 Jan 2016 00:29:08 +0000

fuelCMS will load the files designated by the relative URL using the following:

$this->load->view('_blocks/header');
$this->load->view('_blocks/footer');

1 2	$this->load->view('_blocks/header'); $this->load->view('_blocks/footer');

Use this method to load _blocks in your view.

Layouts

Layer7web — Mon, 04 Jan 2016 00:12:28 +0000

There are two way to create layout in fuelCMS. One way is to create a file with the same name as your view file.
In this file you add the layout variable:

$vars['layout'] = 'yourlayout';

1	$vars['layout'] = 'yourlayout';

I don’t like this way because we are creating a file we don’t really need and we are adding a little more confusion to the architecture of the application. By using the following code at the top of your view file you can set the layout.

fuel_set_var('layout', 'yourlayout');

1	fuel_set_var('layout', 'yourlayout');

By doing it this way the next engineer will know just by looking at the view file exactly what layout it is using.

Creating pages with the "Opt-in Controller" method.

Layer7web — Sun, 03 Jan 2016 23:57:59 +0000

FuelCMS makes it possible to create pages without creating a new controller or new controller methods. The fuelCMS guide suggests this is the best way unless we are creating more complicated pages like forms or other dynamic content.

Creating a Module

Layer7web — Sat, 02 Jan 2016 03:44:32 +0000

*** All of the code snippets taken from http://www.getfuelcms.com/. 🙂

$config['modules']['guestbook'] = array(
     'model_name' => 'guestbookcomments_model',
     'model_location' => 'guestbook'
);

$config['modules']['guestbook'] = array(

'model_name' => 'guestbookcomments_model',

'model_location' => 'guestbook'

);

Make sure you have you database tables set up. Here is an example:

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS guestbook_comments (
    id INTEGER UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
    author VARCHAR(25) NULL NULL,
    comment VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL,
    'date' DATETIME NOT NULL,
    visible ENUM('yes', 'no') NOT NULL DEFAULT 'yes',

    PRIMARY KEY (id)
);

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS guestbook_comments (

id INTEGER UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,

author VARCHAR(25) NULL NULL,

comment VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL,

'date' DATETIME NOT NULL,

visible ENUM('yes', 'no') NOT NULL DEFAULT 'yes',

PRIMARY KEY (id)

);

Create the Model Class:

<?php
if (!defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');
require_once(FUEL_PATH . 'models/base_module_model.php');

class GuestbookComments_model extends Base_module_model
{
    public function __construct()
    {
        parent::__construct('guestbook_comments');
    }
}

class GuestbookComment_model extends Base_module_record
{
}

if (!defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');

require_once(FUEL_PATH . 'models/base_module_model.php');

class GuestbookComments_model extends Base_module_model

{

public function __construct()

{

parent::__construct('guestbook_comments');

}

class GuestbookComment_model extends Base_module_record

{

}

Create the Controller:

<?php
class Guestbook extends CI_Controller
{
    function view()
    {
        echo '<h1>Guestbook</h1>';
        $this->load->module_model('guestbook', 'GuestbookComments_model');
        $comments = $this->GuestbookComments_model->find_all();
        foreach ($comments as $comment) {
            echo '<h2>' . $comment->author . '</h2>';
            echo $comment->comment;
        }
    }
}

class Guestbook extends CI_Controller

{

function view()

{

echo '

Guestbook

$this->load->module_model('guestbook', 'GuestbookComments_model');

$comments = $this->GuestbookComments_model->find_all();

foreach ($comments as $comment) {

echo '

' . $comment->author . '

echo $comment->comment;

}

Add Method to the Controller:

<?php
public function add()
{
    $this->load->library(
        'form_builder',
        array(
            'id'=>'addComment',
            'form_attrs' => array(
                'method' => 'post',
                'action' => 'newcomment'
            ),
            'submit_value' => 'Add new comment',
            'textarea_rows' => '5',
            'textarea_cols' => '28'
        )
    );

    $fields = array(
        'name' => array(
            'label' => 'Full Name',
            'required' => true
        ),
        'comment' => array(
            'type' => 'text',
            'label' => 'Comment',
            'required' => true
        )
    );
    $this->form_builder->set_fields($fields);
    echo $this->form_builder->render();
}

public function add()

{

$this->load->library(

'form_builder',

array(

'id'=>'addComment',

'form_attrs' => array(

'method' => 'post',

'action' => 'newcomment'

'submit_value' => 'Add new comment',

'textarea_rows' => '5',

'textarea_cols' => '28'

)

);

$fields = array(

'name' => array(

'label' => 'Full Name',

'required' => true

'comment' => array(

'type' => 'text',

'label' => 'Comment',

'required' => true

)

);

$this->form_builder->set_fields($fields);

echo $this->form_builder->render();

}

Create method in the Controller to handle the form submission:

<?php
public function newcomment()
{
    $this->load->module_model('guestbook', 'GuestbookComments_model');
    $comment = $this->GuestbookComments_model->create();
    $comment->author = $this->input->post('name');
    $comment->date = date('Y-m-d G:i:s');
    $comment->comment = $this->input->post('comment');
    $comment->save();

    echo 'comment successfully added';
}

public function newcomment()

{

$this->load->module_model('guestbook', 'GuestbookComments_model');

$comment = $this->GuestbookComments_model->create();

$comment->author = $this->input->post('name');

$comment->date = date('Y-m-d G:i:s');

$comment->comment = $this->input->post('comment');

$comment->save();

echo 'comment successfully added';

}
