Creating the Product Edit Page

The edit() function of the admin/products controller is pretty much a clone of the create() process,

except that you have to load in the existing product information. Without further ado, here ’ s the edit()

function itself:

function edit($id=0){

if ($this- > input- > post(‘name’)){

$this- > MProducts- > updateProduct();

$this- > session- > set_flashdata(‘message’,’Product updated’);

redirect(‘admin/products/index’,’refresh’);

}else{

$data[‘title’] = “Edit Product”;

$data[‘main’] = ‘admin_product_edit’;

$data[‘product’] = $this- > MProducts- > getProduct($id);

$data[‘categories’] = $this- > MCats- > getCategoriesDropDown();

$this- > load- > vars($data);

$this- > load- > view(‘dashboard’);

}

}
