CodeIgniter 2 + Sparks + PHP ActiveRecord Part 4: Views and Layouts

In this episode we'll take a few minutes to improve the infrastructure of the project. We'll add functionality that will allow our controller to automatically determine which content view should be loaded. We'll also add the ability to have multiple application layouts (aka templates) and to be able to easily switch between them.

Be sure to watch in HD.

Thank you for the compliment. I am OK with putting the form elements (using the CodeIgniter form_heper) directly into the view because frequently you run into the need for changes or forms that are atypical. Often, you'll generate a form and then have a client request an update or change.

I think that it works OK for getting code done and launched quickly.

Your CI tuts are really great and I like how You make the code so clean :)

The only thing I miss in CI is seperate form class, so I don't have to put the whole form elements in view and be able to use twig engine ;)
