Creating Admin Screens for Sizes

Because the Sizes table is practically identical to the Colors table, you ’ re going to be able to save a great

deal of time in this section. All you have to do is copy the controller, model, and three view files you

used for colors and repurpose them for sizes. Practically all you have to do is change out sizes for colors

within the code, and you ’ ve got another working admin section.

For example, here is the admin/sizes controller. Please note that it is precisely identical in structure to

the admin/colors controller, except it uses the sizes nomenclature for redirects, labeling, and model

functions:

< ?php

class Sizes extends Controller {

function Sizes(){

parent::Controller();
