Chapter 6: Creating a Dashboard

Creating the User Home Page

The user home page is called with the index() function. Just as with the product and category home

page, the function loads a view and provides a listing of all users (thanks to your MAdmins

getAllUsers() function!) to that view.

function index(){

$data[‘title’] = “Manage Users”;

$data[‘main’] = ‘admin_admins_home’;

$data[‘admins’] = $this- > MAdmins- > getAllUsers();

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

$this- > load- > view(‘dashboard’);

}

The view itself, admin_admins_home, is pretty much a clone of the other home pages except that you ’ ll

be looping on the $admins array and using username instead of name while printing.

< h1 > < ?php echo $title;? > < /h1 >

< p > < ?php echo anchor(“admin/admins/create”, “Create new user”);? >

< ?php

if ($this- > session- > flashdata(‘message’)){

echo “ < div class=’message’ > ”.$this- > session- > flashdata(‘message’).” < /div > ”;

}

if (count($admins)){

echo “ < table border=’1’ cellspacing=’0’ cellpadding=’3’ width=’400’ > \n”;

echo “ < tr valign=’top’ > \n”;

echo “ < th > ID < /th > \n < th > Username < /th > < th > Status < /th > < th > Actions < /th > \n”;

echo “ < /tr > \n”;

foreach ($admins as $key = > $list){

echo “ < tr valign=’top’ > \n”;

echo “ < td > ”.$list[‘id’].” < /td > \n”;

echo “ < td > ”.$list[‘username’].” < /td > \n”;

echo “ < td align=’center’ > ”.$list[‘status’].” < /td > \n”;

echo “ < td align=’center’ > ”;

echo anchor(‘admin/admins/edit/’.$list[‘id’],’edit’);

echo “ | “;

echo anchor(‘admin/admins/delete/’.$list[‘id’],’delete’);

echo “ < /td > \n”;

echo “ < /tr > \n”;

}

echo “ < /table > ”;

}

At the end of the process, your admin home page should look like Figure 6 - 12.
