Hello CodeIgniters,
  This thread is to announce the immediate and public availability of CodeExtinguisher 2.0 RC10. This is not the full and final version of CodeExtinguisher 2.0!

After a round of testing, bugs have been ironed out and some new features have been introduced. As of this posting, the documentation has not been updated. However, the attached zip is fully functional and should be fairly obvious to previous CodeExtinguisher users.

Installation:
1) Extract the zip’s contents into your CI-root directory (alongside index.php)
2) Run installer.php (or set it up manually by running codex.sql and updating your database.php file)
3) Delete installer.php (and codex.sql)
4) Access the backend through backend.php (Login with the credentials you created in the installer)

Please report any bugs and concerns in this thread.

Major Changes:
Changelog for Release Candidate 10:
- Touched up the design
- Added the ability for the ManyToMany and the OneToMany plugins to pick up definition files
- Fixed bugs in the ManyToMany plugin
- Fixed get_where / getwhere inconsistency
- Fixed the way TextArea handles newlines
- Added resource identifiers to the template library so that resources don’t get loaded twice
- Replaced native session library with the OB Session library, fixing a random logout bug
- Added ability to declare a user as an Admin, circumventing all restrictions
- Fixed validation bugs
- Added a new Hidden plugin

The download links are updated to point to the latest release candidate!

Holy JESUS… I misread the title of this thread as “CodeIgniter 2.0 Public Beta”... you can imagine how wide my eyes got!  Anyway, sorry for having nothing of any consequence to contribute here 😊

I did the same thing. And seeing as how this is only my 3rd or 4th post, I have even less to gloriously contribute. ^.^

haha sorry for the misleading

A PHP Error was encountered

Severity: Notice

Message: Undefined property: codexForms::$lang

Filename: libraries/codexforms.php

Line Number: 71

Fatal error: Call to a member function line() on a non-object in /..backend/system/application/backend/libraries/codexforms.php on line 71

CodeIgniter 1.6.1

Ah, thanks for pointing that out, I was adding the language files last minute and missed the ‘->CI’...I updated the download 😊

jT, very promising tool for CRUD and easy admin. thnx

I’m getting a blank screen with CI 1.6.1, even with a fresh install of both CE and CI. Wasn’t happening with my older version of CI (1.5.4), though I did have to replace all the “get_where” calls with “getwhere.” Anyone else having this problem?

I just tried CE with 1.5.4 and 1.6.1 of CI, and everything seems to be working fine. What kinda envoirnment are you running this in?

I’m running MAMP with php4, pretty standard setup I think. I’ll play around with it and let you know if I find anything useful. Great piece of software btw, I hope I can get the new version running!

Ah ok, I might be guilty of forgetting to test php4…i’ll get right on it and let you know when I update the download.

EDIT: dleavitt, could you please go to /Applications/MAMP/conf/php4/php.ini and change display_errors to On instead of Off, then restart MAMP?

I just downgraded to php 4.4.1 and it seems to be working fine. Your blank page is probably hidden PHP errors.

Hi, the issue was that the “logs” directory wasn’t world writable (the database.php file wasn’t either, I’ve been having to flag it before installation.) I don’t know if this is an issue unique to me or whether it would be common issue for mac users. It’s slightly pernicious because for some reason it doesn’t cause php or apache to throw any errors, or at least it didn’t for me.

Thanks!

Well the database.php file does have to be writable to run the installer, as the installer modified that file. I suppose the logs directory would have to be..otherwise the system wouldn’t be able to write to the files…I’ll have to add some checking to make sure those two files/folders are writable…thanks for finding that.

More feedback - under php4, the fields (other than oneToMany) don’t get populated when you edit an item. It looks like the problem might be in the iterate function in codexforms.php (line 211.) It may be related to the fact that objects in php4 are not passed by reference.

Yeah, that was it.

line 216:

$return_array[$name] = $obj->$func_name($value);

needs to be changed to:

$return_array[$name] = $this->objects[$name]->$func_name($value);

to work in php4.
I am not sure why it matters whether the original object or a copy is being referenced, but apparently it does.

Also, I’m not sure if you’re interested in feature requests, but if so, it would be neat to have the “table” have the option to display non-text data types more informatively, eg image thumbnails and the titles of items in associated tables.
