Introduction

Hello Everyone, I've been working with CI for 3 months now and as soon as I built my first project, I noticed that something was missing: A backend generator. So I started working on one for my own project then I noticed that it was generic enough and flexible enough to reworked as a bunch of libraries working together. Then while browsing the forums, I kept seeing requests from people who need a way to generate a backend for themselves, or their clients. After seeing how my client reacted to the system, I decided to release the system and share it with everyone, so, here goes:

[size=4]Current Release: 1.2.1[/size]

IMPORTANT NOTE: Please make sure you have the latest version, the previous versions had bugs which could possible present security holes.

There are two versions to download: The basic, and the full. The full comes with CI bundled, the basic does not. However, the full comes with a CI bug fixed which used to cause an error when global xss filtering is on.

To install the basic version, just drag & drop the files/folders into their respective folders (as shown in the directory structure of the zip)

Live Demo (username: demo, password: demo) Documentation Download JTabyBackend Basic (932 KB) Download link (With CI Bundled - contains a bug fix) (1.2 MB) [Setup video](http://citastic.com/JTabyBackend/JTaby Setup Walkthrough.mov) Forum

The zip also contains CodeIgniter (latest release). The video should be sufficient to help you setup the system and play with it. It shouldn't take you longer than 1 hour to figure how everything works, it's quite simple: Just look at the bundled examples.

Main System Features

  • Transparent multi-level login
  • Validation
  • Unified messaging system
  • on-the-fly form generation
  • Extremely rapid development (~40 lines per controller)

Version 1.2.1 Changelog:

  • Fixes a bug which triggered a "Cannot redeclare class TextBox" in PHP4

New Features in version 1.2:

  • Sorting
  • Multiple fields in list view
  • Bug fixes of all sorts

Notes

  • It has come to my attention (Athfar, #codeigniter on irc.freenode.net) that IE7 is PMS'ing about the CSS, so instead of fixing it, I'm going to do what any die-hard OCD'er would do, and redesign the whole thing, make it brighter and happier :)
  • Please note that this is the first time I release open-source code like this, so let me know if I'm doing this wrong.
  • I'm working on getting a hosting account to host the file and a demo.
  • The video takes a bit to load, but once it's loaded, it should play fine.
