In this two-part series, we’ll be creating a basic ‘Jobs Board’, similar to “FreelanceSwitch Jobs” and “Smashing Jobs”, using the CodeIgniter PHP framework. Sign up!
"This tutorial series will not serve as a beginners guide to CodeIgniter, however you don't need much experience with it either. I'd recommend to at the least, have an understanding of what an MVC (Model, View, Controller) system is and to have had some experience creating a simple application with CodeIgniter.
Just having been through the video tutorials on CodeIgniter's website, and a look through the beginners guide to CI here on Nettuts will be enough!"

( )StruC June 25th
It’s not.
Kevin Urrutia June 24th
Very nice i love codeigniter
( )Christer June 24th
Please don’t use “Test text”, “Another listing”, etc in the article pictures. gives a little less professional feeling. Use relevant and plausible example text. It’s better to use Lorem Ipsum.
Anyways. Haven’t seen the tut yet, but will do that now. Pretty sure that I gonna enjoy the tutorial.
( )Dan Harper June 24th
Yes, I probably should have used Lorem ipsum when taking the screenshots. I never really played attention to the text, tbh.
I’ll keep it in mind for later tutorials, thanks
( )Dave June 24th
Nice tut,
One thing: as ‘convert’ is a single function it’s would be a better fit as a CI plugin and not a library class
( )Dan Harper June 24th
I’ll keep that in mind, thanks! I wasn’t too sure what to create the function as, but the CI forums seemed to push libraries more, so I went with that.
( )Dario Gutierrez June 24th

Way Little, Way Late! Honestly, with rails why do people even use PHP anymore?
( )Ian June 24th
I don’t have a plus membership but this looks like a good tutorial. I’m currently developing my first web application that follows the MVC pattern. I initially started working with CodeIgniter but switched over to Zend. I highly recommend checking out Zend. The learning curve is defiantly a bit more steep but it’s worth it imo.

Could I get more details on what all this covers?
Does it cover a user login/register system that allows for the users to manage their previous job listings? or is it an anonymous board.
( )Dan Harper June 25th
It’s an anonymous board, as I felt a complete system was simply beyond the scope of a two-part tutorial.
We create a front page displaying all the listings available. Click on any listing to be taken to it’s ‘details’ page.
In the site’s sidebar we display the categories. Click one to see the listings for that category only.
Also in the sidebar is an ‘Add a Listing’ button. On that page is a basic form to fill out. We run a number of validation checks on the submitted data. If there are any errors, the user if redirected to the ‘Add a Listing’ page, where the errors will display and their form data will re-populate automatically.
Otherwise, the data is inserted into the database.
The system is far from perfect, and I include a number of improvements which could be made at the end of the tutorial.

( )Shane June 25th
Looks good!
( )SEO Paw June 26th
Nice job, looks very good! Thank u!
( )PhilFreelance July 2nd
This is a great tutorial in learning MVC framework. I’m also start working on the CI Framework and it’s a very great learning.
( )matt July 2nd
Superb tutorial, sir.
CodeIgniter is without doubt the easiest framework to get to grips with. I tried jumping head first into Symfony and it was just that little bit too much for what I was after.
Great tutorial, great site. Keep up with the Codeigniter tutorials please!
( )Dan Harper July 6th
