I got stuck in a a problem in which I need to update some info from database in the same page that is shown.
On this case I’m fetching some “global settings” from a website in an index page which comes with a form in it. Here is a picture of it just to make it more clear to understand what I mean.
As you can see I created the button and I made it possible to see the values from the database, the problem is that I can not figure it out how to update it from there. Can somebody suggest an idea?
Here is my controller:
` public function index()
{
$this->form_validation->set_rules('website_favicon', 'Favicon', 'trim|required|min_length[4]');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('website_logo', 'Logon', 'trim|required|min_length[4]');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('website_name', 'Website Name', 'trim|required|min_length[4]');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('website_credits', 'Credits', 'trim|required|min_length[4]');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('website_credits_link', 'Credits Link', 'trim|required|min_length[4]');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('website_copyright', 'Copyright', 'trim|required|min_length[4]');
if($this->form_validation->run() == FALSE){
// Get Current Subject
$data['item'] = $this->Settings_model->get_website_data();
//Load View Into Template
$this->template->load('admin', 'default', 'settings/index', $data);
} else {
// Create website settings
$data = array(
'website_favicon' => $this->input->post('website_favicon'),
'website_logo' => $this->input->post('website_logo'),
'website_name' => $this->input->post('webiste_name'),
'website_credits' => $this->input->post('website_credits'),
'website_credits_link' => $this->input->post('website_credits_link'),
'website_copyright' => $this->input->post('website_copyright'),
);
// Update User
$this->Settings_model->update($id, $data);
// Activity Array
$data = array(
'resource_id' => $this->db->insert_id(),
'type' => 'website settings',
'action' => 'updated',
'user_id' => $this->session->userdata('user_id'),
'message' => 'User (' . $data["username"] . ') updated the website settings'
);
// Add Activity
$this->Activity_model->add($data);
//Create Message
$this->session->set_flashdata('success', 'Website setting has been updated');
//Redirect to Users
redirect('admin/settings');
}
} `
Here is my model:
<?php
class Settings_model extends CI_MODEL
{
function __construct()
{
parent::__construct();
$this->table = 'website_settings';
}
public function update($id, $data)
{
$this->db->where('id', $id);
$this->db->update($this->table, $data);
}
public function get_website_data()
{
$this->db->select('*');
$this->db->from($this->table);
$this->db->where('id', 1);
$this->db->limit(1);
$query = $this->db->get();
if ($query->num_rows() == 1) {
return $query->row();
} else {
return false;
}
}
}
and here is my view:
<h2 class="page-header">Website Settings</h2>

Thanks for helping.
Also any idea how can I use this globally in a template?
