I apologize in advance for my ignorance of CodeIgniter and the MVC system.
I'm helping a family member with their business website and up until now I've been able to complete most of the required changes just by using logic but now I've hit a dead end. I don't plan to continue supporting them as I'm obviously no CodeIgniter expert. But I'm hoping to leave the website at least functional, so that they can start using it.
I simply want to create a new "page" within the website but it seems impossible. If I can achieve this I think I can figure everything else out on my own.
For example I currently have a "page" for Cancelled Jobs. It the navigation HTML it is linked to like this:
http://localhost/admin/modules/cancelled_jobs
and has a corresponding file here: admin/application/controllers/cancelled_jobs.php
which contains this php code:
class Cancelled_jobs extends CIID_Controller {
public function __construct()
{
parent::__construct();
$this->set_table('job', 'Cancelled Job', 'Cancelled Jobs');
$this->allow_delete = false;
$this->allow_cancel = false;
$this->allow_edit = false;
$this->allow_reactivate = true;
$this->allow_add = false;
$this->overview
->add_item('Job No', 'active', 'job_id')
->add_item('Client', 'active|relationship', 'client.name')
->add_item('Name', 'active', 'name')
->add_item('Status', 'active|relationship', 'job_status.name')
->add_item('Assignee', 'active|relationship', 'team_member.name')
->add_item('Scheduled Date', 'active', 'scheduled_date')
->where("job.cancel_job = '1'")
->order_by('job.created_date DESC');
$this->init();
}
}
I would like to create a new "page" called Closed Jobs.
I've tried copying admin/application/controllers/cancelled_jobs.php and renaming it closed_jobs.php and changing the first line of code to read:
class Closed_jobs extends CIID_Controller {
I then add a link in the navigation HTML:
http://localhost/admin/modules/closed_jobs
However, when clicked, this only results in a "404 Page Not Found" error.
Can anyone point out what I'm missing in the process of creating a new page?
