Create a Contact Manager – New Premium Tutorial

That will be indeed very popular :)

will be paying for this!

That is really neat :D

Good luck Members :D

Is there a problem with your support? I have opened a couple of tickets, which I have had no response from. My access to Plus content seems to have been cut off. My first ticket was sent last Friday….

Also when trying to access the content I get an authentication error which directs me to a link that doesn’t go anywhere – http://eden.helpserve.com/

oldukça farklı bir seçenek teşekkür ederim

Extremely Poorly wriiten and explained. Issues that I found :-

1) The author probably doesn’t know that this tutorial is for someone who has decent enough knowledge about CI. His explanation about CI concepts are very vague.
2) Proper MVC pattern is not followed. Why is there a $this->db->insert() in a controller? Why do you need a model if you are doing is directly from the controller.
3) Lot of code repeating again and again. Use of common functions is lacking.
4) Naving conventions followed is horrible.
5) Overall : Very poorly written code which will get worse to manage later on if this has to be integrated in a bigger application.

I would NOT recommend paying for this tutorial if you are not a ‘plus’ member.

Let me start with thank you for the tutorial and all the time and effort put into it. I did learn a great deal.

Now let me criticize. Sorry but it has to be said.

I am seriously wondering if someone hacked into nettuts and fubar’d this tutorial. Yes it was that bad messed up to be one of the premium tuts.

Here’s a list of everything wrong with this.

1. mix of camelCase and under_score naming conventions that was wrong and causing undefined var errors. I went through every single line of every file fixing uppers that should be lowers and lowers that should be uppers and that was the code I downloaded.

2. mix of
and
Again it was scattered everywhere. I have become very proficient with notepad++ search and replace features.

3. All the files had the encrypted attrib applied to them and I had to search google to find out why my files names were green in explorer and all the css, images, and js files were causing 500.50 internal server errors

4. Another complaint about database methods in the controller. It takes a few minutes to convert them over to the model.

5. open forms with echo open_form() but then close them with regular html tag? And p tags instead of nice clean and logical use of labels and inputs.

6. site_url could be an older version codeigniter so I won’t complain but now it’s base_url and the syntax is different. Instead of this
<link rel="stylesheet" href="”/>
I had to change them all to
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/path/to/cssfle”/>

7. The add function was left out in the video and the one in the source has lines commented out with no explanation of why.

8. The edit function doesn’t work and the way the add and edit views get all users and groups and then list a form for each one is probably why. I can click on a user and go to edit them and it fills the edit window up with multiple forms because that code is in a loop that doesnt’ end until it has listed a form for all users returned from the getAll function. Once again, your code that I downloaded. Not something I messed up.

9. 3 huge css files yet still a ton of inline css,

10. js.js ?

11. Stating in a real jerky sounding way that basically, your not going to bother explaining things your doing and we should go to nettuts if we want to find out more from Jeffery? I understand that on the basics but you leaned on that crutch several times throughout the video.

12 Oh and one more thing. $data is not a special codeigniter variable. It’s just a variable called $data. Codeigniter might recognize it and let us do a few minor things with it but it’s just a variable. Thus the reason it’s empty every time we try to access it in another function so the views weren’t finding the members array because they had been passed an empty variable so had to go back and copy down the load->model and getAll a couple of times because it was missing.

After all that, thanks for getting me started and showing me some good funcitoning jquery.

HI all,

1. I think a missing table called “sessions” was not mentioned in the tutorial note, from the error message I somehow found out that it seems to have the following fields:
session_id
ip_address
User_agent
last_activity
user_data
only after you created table and fields above you are able to proceed with the application

2. There are errors notified that some CI functions have been deprecated, I will need to overwrite these folders in order to get it run ( I copied from downloaded CI folders) :
\system\codeigniter
\system\libraries
\system\database\db.php

I still have problem showing members that was created under Group.

Such quality of work doesn’t fit to be a premium content I would said.
