This post is outdated, and might and might not work. Unfortunately I currently don’t have time to check and/or fix it. Sorry 😦
I created this tutorial because I was having a hard time finding good simple CodeIgniter + JQuery tutorial for newbie like me. The one I found, created by MR Forbes, is hard to understand and apparently isn’t working. Another one, pr0digy’s, is using Mootools for the AJAX framework.
So I decided to create my own CodeIgniter and JQuery tutorial based on pr0digy’s tutorial. I’m assuming you already know how to code using CodeIgniter. If you’re new to CodeIgniter, you need to find others tutorial first. The videos given in CodeIgniter’s site is a good start.
This tutorial is about creating simple CodeIgniter + database + ajax system. User will be shown a form to post a message. Then after he/she press the submit button, the system will save the message using ajax and then show the message. You could see the result first if you want.
Database
The first thing we need to do is creating a table to save the message. For this tutorial, We will use this:
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `messages` ( `id` tinyint(4) NOT NULL auto_increment, `message` varchar(256) NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (`id`) )
Controller
Then, we need to create a controller. My controller is named message
. You could name your controller any name you like. After that, create 2 functions/methods, view and add.
view is used to get the default view and list of messages from the database. The codes are:
function view($type = NULL) { // get data from database $data['messages'] = $this->Message_model->get(); if ($type == "ajax") // load inline view for call from ajax $this->load->view('messages_list', $data); else // load the default view $this->load->view('default', $data); }
We fetch messages from the database using Message_model->get()
function. Then the data is passed to the view. Here, we have 2 views called. One for the default view, where we called the page using message/view
, and the other is for calling from ajax.
add is a proccess used to insert the message to the database. The codes are:
function add() { // if HTTP POST is sent, add the data to database if($_POST && $_POST['message'] != NULL) { $message['message'] = $this->input->xss_clean($_POST['message']); $this->Message_model->add($message); } else redirect('message/view'); }
This function is accessed when we press the submit button from the form. This function will save the message using Message_model->add()
function.
Model
The next thing we need to create is the model. I use Message_model
for the name. Here we create two functions, add and get. add is a function to insert the data into the database. get is a function to retrieve data from database. I think the codes are pretty self-explainatory, but you could drop me a message if you need some explainations on the codes.
function add($data) { $this->db->insert('messages', $data); } function get($limit=5, $offset=0) { $this->db->orderby('id', 'DESC'); $this->db->limit($limit, $offset); return $this->db->get('messages')->result(); }
View
I use 2 files for view section. default.php
and message_list.php
. The message_list
is used for displaying the messages taken from the database.
- message ?>
Hey, Where’s the JQuery?
Here we go. The last, and maybe the most important part of this tutorial. So, we the our controller, we had the model, and we had the views. I assume you already know how to include a jquery script to your view. The jquery codes are this:
$(document).ready(function() { $('#submit').click(function() { var msg = $('#message').val(); $.post("", {message: msg}, function() { $('#content').load(""); $('#message').val(''); }); }); });
So, when we click the submit button, the javascript will take the value of input textbox then send it to message/add
using post method. When the action succeed, the script will call message/view/ajax
. Note the ajax
keyword. It will call the message_list
view instead of the default one. Then the view will replace the content in div#content
tag.
Well done. You could see the demo I made from the tutorial.

Update: Need how to do this using JSON? Check CodeIgniter and Ajax Using jQuery tutorial using JSON.
i wondering how to include the jquery.
cause i also been following MR Forbes example..
although can get the first page running. But when it load back the page again, it not running anymore.
i put my file like this :
www/codeigniter/system <– this is for all the system files.
i put my javascript jquery
www/codeigniter/javascript/jquery.js
in the view, i include like this
it can run when i type my URL like this
localhost/codeigniter/index.php/message
but not when
localhost/codeigniter/index.php/message/view
can guide me how to really put the jquery files ?
thanks !!~

have you put the javascript link in your head tag in view? yours would be like this:
<script language="javascript" src="javascript/jquery.js">
ps: I sent you email with the same comment 🙂
oh well, the code is filtered. sucks.
here’s how to include your javascript:
http://kriwil.pastebin.com/d2a83eb9b
the link works.
before this i found that when the URL like:
localhost/codeigniter/index.php/message/view
when it got another / after index.php
then i have to include extra “../” to the original “../jquery.js”.
if localhost/codeigniter/index.php/message/view/
another / behind view.
then i have include “../../” to the include link.
but your reference link solve the problem.
it help lots…..
thanks lots…
aw

glad I could help 🙂
yes, we have to use absolute url when dealing with link in CI, because CI url structure is like directory structure 🙂
for this part…
$(document).ready(function() {
$(‘#submit’).click(function() {
var msg = $(‘#message’).val();
$.post(“”, {message: msg}, function() {
$(‘#content’).load(“”);
$(‘#message’).val(”);
});
});
});
how could i add more element to it ?
you are using json way ?

});

if you want to add more element, you could see this code: http://kriwil.pastebin.com/f1bcc82a4
no, I’m not using json yet. I’m using regular jquery method. Maybe I’ll write tutorial about that later 🙂
thanks for the reply…
here is another question. i have been figure it for 2 days.
for php require_once, include…
i cant use base_url() or BASEPATH.
not sure what happen here…
i did it same way as how i do with the javascript.
can help me with that ?
thanks…

you could use the BASEPATH.
I just tried and it worked. The BASEPATH defines your CI system folder.
So if you want to include a file from view folder, you should write like this:
require_once(BASEPATH . 'application/views/test.php');
why would you want to use require_once anyway? if you want to include some function, you could create it as CI plugin. It’s more elegant in CI 🙂
i want to include files like header and footer that shared.
so in CI include is not preferred?
hmm..i think i can get your idea….
just use controller to load view of header and footer….
that might works….haha….thanks

if you want to include another view files in view folder, you could use
$this->load->view('filename');
in the view file 🙂
it’s the same with inlcude file, only it’s done the CI-way 🙂
I did that in every website I created. like this:
I put header.php and footer.php in my view folder 🙂
oh…yeah…if the view files is out of view folder…
then i will have bit problem to included.
so how about css? same way how the jquery file done ?

yup, if the file is not the view folder, maybe the only way is using that require_once method 😉
yes, css is using the same way with jquery 🙂
thanks dude…you helped me alot…

Hello,
I couldn’t figure out yet.
Is your code working?
I am having the same behaviour as your demo, however I can’t add more registries. Do I have to add an onClick event at the button?
If yes please tell us how.
Nice Tutorial!

nice articel..i’ve implemented, and it works..thx..
but, can you writing articel about CI + ajax + thickbox or Ci + ajax + extjs..
in simple case, can you explain how to insert data to database with JQuery ajax then load modal box with thickbox, after that the data load to extjs grid
thx

You really should be more careful. You’re not validating any user input! This is dangerous! You should really take away the demo before any damage is done.

Great tutorial! Thanks, huge help.
One thing that I’m noticing on my site is that only the first input registers. If I put in more, they get inserted into the DB but the list does not update, I have to refresh the web page to see the new entries. Any ideas?

please help me to do this.
thank you

hi Dinesh,
you could create another view for form, and change the
add
function in controller to something like this:then you call the add function via jquery to show the form.

Thanks for posting this, but neither demo nor code works correctly with Ie6. It was reported earlier but not answered. What might be the reason? After loading the page it is possible on add and show one new record. After that submit doesn’t change screen apperance but shown new record after browser refresh (but that not the way to use it)… Any advice?

Anybody figured out why this doesn’t work properly on Internet Explorer? (I’m using IE8 and it still doesn’t work).
The problem is that the very FIRST input to the form gets displayed, but second, third or anything after that do not get re-loaded onto the message-list view. However, the data gets inserted into database fine.
It works on FireFox.

For those who are having the IE problem, here is the fix.
The issue is in regards to IE caching and each time it attempts to load the “div” given the URL, it thinks it’s loading the same content.
So, a quick fix would be to “confuse” IE that each time you post a comment, it is a new URL we are re-loading. And we can achieve this by giving a random integer attached to the end of the URL.
Here’s the code :
$(document).ready(function()
{
$(‘#submit’).click(function()
{
var msg = $(‘#message’).val();
var load_url = “?random=” + Math.random()*99999;
$.post(“”, {message: msg}, function() {
$(‘#content’).load(load_url);
$(‘#message’).val(”);
});
});
});
Hope that helps.
You can also always use jQuery’s “append()” method to re-load the page, something like
…
$(‘#content’).append(‘new comment that was just posted…!’);

Software engineering researchers rarely write explicitly about their paradigms of research and their standards for judging quality of results. ,
The very first part of it has an express contradiction. ,
I would highly recommend changing your function (method) from the name ‘view’ to the name ‘display’ as it would most likely cause less confusion as view is the name given to displaying views in the MVC pattern.
If you changed it, it would be like this:
To load a view, the call is $this->load->view(‘welcome’);
To load your display: $this->display();
Less confusing when you aren’t using a CI method name for your functions.

You skipped the most important part:
“The last, and maybe the most important part of this tutorial. …I assume you already know how to include a jquery script to your view.”
If I already knew, I wouldn’t need the tutorial, would I?
it should be trivial. <script src=”/path/to/jquery.js” type=”text/javascript”></script> will do 🙂
