Shopping cart v1.0 code updates
I learnt Codeigniter from a book "Professional Codeigniter" by Mr. Thomas Myer.I started learning PHP at the beginning of 2009 and read a couple of good books about PHP and I had basic knowledge but not practical experience of PHP.
Professional Codeigniter was delightful to read. I have learnt a lot from the book. I highly recommend the book if you are a beginner and want to learn CI in practical ways.
Especially I enjoyed it in three ways.
-
There are some bugs which could not make it for the final edition. But I am glad that it did not make it. Because fixing these taught me more than I expected. I used the book forum, CI forum and Stackoverflow to solve the problems.

Reading a book which teachs you how to create one applicatoin, in this case is shopping cart, is the best way for me to learn PHP and CI.
-
While I was reading the book, I wanted to change the application in my way. And this was again good learning for me.
I recommend the book and read through it to understand fully.
I obtained a permission from the author and I'd like to add my version of updated code here.
As I stated it before the author's final code did not make the printed edition. So there are some mistakes and typos. So I corrected as much as possible. I don't say that it is complete, but nearly. I wrote a small post here about it.It seems the original code was developed with 1.6 or so. I updated to 1.7.2.
Original code had Prototype for javascript. I migraged to jQuery.
Once I added jQuery, there are many menus I could add. However I just chose David Walsh's nudge menu for the front sub-menu.
There are random feature products on the right column. I added links to individual product pages.
Products page shows more details
This enables to sort in both ways, including show rows (10, 20, 30, etc) as well. I used jQuery Data tables plugin for this.
Here is how.I changed other small items which I don't remember.
