SandCastle is a collection of tools for creating a community website/portal. It is currently under heavy development, kickstarted by the mozilla.org.uk website revamp in 2012. Built ontop of the CodeIgniter for ease of use, however each componenet should provide a good starting point for those wishing to use another framework (or even pure PHP).
This Spark is the beginings of an event listing system. It provides the needed functions to make storing and listing upcoming events easy as 3.141526... More specifically it deals with the database side of things.
When talking about the "database result object" this refers to the CodeIgniter database result object, i.e. $query->result()
I'm going to assume that you're using CodeIgniter, and thus you have a basic understanding of PHP. These are both prerequisites if you want to follow the instructions from now on.
First you will need to install the Spark Package Manager. Once you have move into the root of your CodeIgniter application and issue the following command:
php tools/spark install sandcastle-events
To load the model into your application use the following, replacing x.x.x with a version number (see tags).
$this->load->spark('sandcastle-events/x.x.x');
The main model will now be available using:
$this->event_model
More details to come... till then take a nose at the source
