I’ve done the tutorial but when I create a new “article” it doesn’t get saved to the database. Everything seems to be fine when I create a new “article” and submit it. But when I check the database nothing is saved there. Also, I manually entered information into the database but nothing appears in the news page.
news_model.php:
<?php if ( ! defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');
class News_model extends CI_Model {
public function __construct() {
$this->load->database("newsDB");
}
public function get_news($slug = FALSE) {
if ($slug === FALSE) {
$query = $this->db->get('news');
return $query->result_array();
}
$query = $this->db->get_where('news', array('slug' => $slug));
return $query->row_array();
}
public function set_news()
{
$this->load->helper('url');
$slug = url_title($this->input->post('title'), 'dash', TRUE);
$data = array(
'title' => $this->input->post('title'),
'slug' => $slug,
'text' => $this->input->post('text')
);
return $this->db->insert('news', $data);
}
