bkader/skeleton

A ready-to-use CodeIgniter skeleton with tons of new features and a whole new concept of hooks (actions and filters) as well as a ready-to-use and application-free themes and plugins system.

CodeIgniter Skeleton

A CodeIgniter starter kit with lots of add-ons to give you a head start when developing web application.

What Does Contain?

The most important thing added to CodeIgniter is the plugins features, with filters and actions just like WordPress. But here is a list of main features:

• Application-free themes that can handle their own assets and have independent actions on the application. No need to handle themes on Controllers except for rendering views, settings pages titles and data to pass to views.
• Plugins system where you can install, upload, activate, deactivate and delete plugins, just like WordPress, Joomla! and others.
• Modules management where you can as well install, activate, deactivate and delete modules.
• Themes management system.
• Users management.
• An application-free and ready-to-use dashboard.
• Multiple application contexts: ajax, process, content, help, reports and settings.
• Themes-free authentication and registration as well as independent dashboard login page.
• Multilingual support.

Why a ready-to-use database

Our database contains 9 required tables and a single optional table (sessions). With only these table you can create any type of web application. See Development Logic on project Wiki.

Documentation

Make sure to read our Wiki. They are not complete but they should be as soon as possible.

How does it cost?

I was not really going to share this at all! I built if for my own personal use, then I was told to sell it. Well, I am not selling it, I am releasing it for free, but your donations are most welcome if you want to. You can send any amount you want to help me keep this project up and enhance it as much as I can.

skeleton's Issues

html_class filter not working correctly.

Seems like the html_class filter does nothing.

The array passed to the callback is null for the filter but a long list of classes is still appended in the theme html tag.

Multisite System

Do you plan to develop a CMS system like wordpress does but very different from wordpress.

Wordpress is consuming very much ram and overusing database automatically inserting revision posts.
There are some solutions for this issue but still I do not like wordpress. I am Codeigniterist.

If you have plan to make CMS integrated into admin I will wait or else I will think another solution (maybe a module or plugin). But your coding is very nice If you will do it, it worths waiting :)

Using AdminLTE ad Admin area?

Have you considered using AdminLTE on admin area?
There is new Bootstrap 4 version which is being developed.

Language Files Edit Functionality inside Admin Panel

First of all I like your way of file system for multilanguage issue.
I think that editing language files inside admin panel can be very useful,

A function can search all language terms or you provide only english and function reads from there and serve them to admin page. But this way maybe it is possible to forget any language term.
What is going to happen when you add a new term to any language file you need to manually update all other language files.

In my point of view storing language terms inside database as serialized array and saving from admin panel automatically will prevent any terms lack.

If you already have a solution for this issue please notice. Thanks

Incomplete information during retrieval

I don't know if should it be really added as a bug or a feature. 😆

When we retrieve any type of entity, we get the corresponding details from group/object table.. But not from metadata. I have to recall get_meta for the guid to fetch other details. How about that get_ can give me the metadata as well? Should we join the metadata table?

styles is tried to load via http nonetheless the site is https causing Mixed Content

I have tested master 2.1.

in case the site is SSL, the styles is loaded via http
in Admin_Controller.php line 174 there is a hardcoded http in
$this->theme
->no_extension()
->add('css', admin_url('load/styles?load='.implode(',', $this->styles), 'http'), null, null, true);

this causes the implicite http loading of styles.
would you check this one please ?

Database backup / restore

Do you have plan to make an admin page which backs up and restores database manually / daily / monthly.
It would be nice to have this function.

I have seen this functionality on ci_bootstrap_3.
Back up function is working like a charm but restore doesn't work on this. Still it can be used and fixed.

If you havent seen ci_bootstrap_3 before, it has very useful functions. It can give you other useful ideas.

Front end Multi Language Url

Isn't it better to have url per language which will effect site SEO better
like this:
dev.skeleton.com/en/*
dev.steleton.com/fr/*

Feature Request: Search functionality.

It would be great if we have something dedicated for searching our entities/objects. 😃

PHP before 5.5 support

"Can't use method return value in write context" error.

And this cause :
"empty() needs to access the value by reference (in order to check whether that reference points to something that exists), and PHP before 5.5 didn't support references to temporary values returned from functions."

So I have to extract the checkable value, and do the check on the variable.

example KB_Lang 133 row:
$idiom = empty($this->config->item('language')) ? $this->fallback : $this->config->item('language');

to this:
$language = $this->config->item('language');
$idiom = empty($language) ? $this->fallback : $language;

CI-Skeleton

Would changing this repository's name to CI-Skeleton be nicer?
This is not a suggestion, only an idea. I have seen lots of packages built on codeigniter an lot of them named as CI-*
Maybe it can help to be find by people.

Autoload Deprecated

__autoload() is deprecated, use spl_autoload_register() instead in C:\xampp\htdocs\ci\skeleton-2.1-master\skeleton\third_party\bkader\compat.php

PHP v7.2.3
DB Connection OK
Nothing Changed in code till now.
but this message shown on every page.

Bug: Typo error.

skeleton/src/skeleton/libraries/Kbcore/drivers/Kbcore_relations.php

Line 107 in 19b4711

if (empt($data))

Please change empt to empty. Also at line # 125.

skeleton/src/skeleton/libraries/Kbcore/drivers/Kbcore_relations.php

Line 144 in 19b4711

$this->ci->db->insert('relations', $dat);

Also, $dat should be $data

Social Login Functionality

Hi @bkader,
Do you have plan to integrate social login functionality for this awesome software?
If so I have a package which already has this functionality. I can share.
If you are interested please inform me.

or you can consider CodeIgniter-HybridAuth
It has

Front End User Profile and Settings Links doesn't Work

When I click this links it goes to
http://localhost/ci-skeleton/username and http://localhost/ci-skeleton/settings links.
They don't work.

Codeigniter Auto Update for Skeleton

Is it possible to integrate the codeigniter github updater to skeleton package or should be done via a plugin or module?

Maybe a function checks everytime or once a day or what time user selects if there is a master new version. Then software updates itself.

There is also an option to select what to be ignored while updating.

A list of files or folders to never perform an update on.
Not specifying a relative path from the webroot will apply
the ignore to any files with a matching segment.

I.E. Specifying 'admin' as an ignore will ignore

'application/controllers/admin.php'
'application/views/admin/test.php'

and any other path with the term 'admin' in it.

please check:
CodeIgniter-GitHub-Updater

Plugins Count on Admin Page

When there is no plugin, on the admin page Plugins box seems not nice.
Because box height becomes smaller. If writes 0 Plugin maybe it will be fixed.

Doc Request : Simple Blog Demo

How about creating a simple blog module demo?

It took me 10 minutes to figure out from where is the view called. N still can't figure out how header and footer got connected to the template. 😄

Enhancing the default Dashboard

The actual dashboard is cool, but not as great and fancy as it should be. This why we should work on it and enhance it a bit.

It doesn't have to use Bootstrap, but it should be responsive and answers to the Skeleton needs.

Call to protected method KB_Controller::check_captcha()

Wherever the captcha check is used as callback for form rules callback_check_captcha it triggers this issue:

Call to protected method KB_Controller::check_captcha() from context 'CI_Form_validation'

I believe it is better to change their access to public instead of protected.

Admin Login Page: Message: Argument 1 passed to Theme::body_class()

When I logged in as user (not admin) and directly visit http://localhost/skeleton/admin page, as natural redirects to http://localhost/skeleton/admin/login?next=admin page and gives the error below.
I think I see this because I use PHP 5.6 on local machine. But Main issue is regular user's viewing admin login page should be an unwanted activity.
I suggest seperating admin login and regular user login. Or at least (maybe better) when a regular user is logged in wants to see http://localhost/skeleton/admin page, system should redirect that user to his profile page. This would be nicer. Otherwise If he or she logins via admin/login form, maybe there will be two sessions. So before logining as admin, user should logout.
