    <p>I'm building a CMS using <a href="http://codeigniter.com/" rel="nofollow">CodeIgniter</a> and I'm stumped on the best way to go about handling the various CRUD views. Given that my URL is similar to...</p> <p>mydomain.com/admin/app/content/pages/edit</p> <p>...where 'admin' is my controller and 'app' is my action method, I currently map segments 3, 4, and 5 to actual directories/files, like so:</p> <pre><code>/views /admin /content /pages list_view.php edit_view.php add_view.php /banners list_view.php edit_view.php add_view.php </code></pre> <p>One caveat is that I need to call different non-CRUD model methods depending on which page is being called, so my app() action method is starting to have have a nasty if..else block. Also, each section's views are going to look different, because of different table data, so I don't see how I can avoid having a bunch of view pages. Obviously the downside of all this is that 1) I'm repeating a lot of code, and 2) if I add a new admin section I have to physically make a slew of new directories and add a new portion to the if...else block.</p> <p>So my questions are:</p> <ol> <li>How can I reduce the number of directories and view pages I'm creating?</li> <li>Can <a href="http://codeigniter.com/user_guide/database/fields.html" rel="nofollow">list_fields() or field_data()</a> methods lend itself to any automation?</li> </ol> <p>One idea I had was to profile the table I'm interacting with, create a dynamic associative array that defines which fields I want to expose as well as the type of form element it should be, and then pass that off to a common view. Thoughts? Flaws?</p> <p>Thanks!</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
