Database Views
Updating my contributions on the wiki has become a nightmare. Please check my svn at google for the latest revisions: http://code.google.com/p/tamer/ CI_TaMeR SVN
How would you like it if you could save your views in the database? You could save all your views in the db or just views you would like to give users access to change. I also save my flat files like Privacy Policy, ToS, About Us and success page etc in the db.
CREATE TABLE `view` (
`id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
`slug` varchar(20) NOT NULL,
`Title` varchar(200) NOT NULL,
`Body` longtext NOT NULL,
`Groups` tinyint(4) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
UNIQUE KEY `slug` (`slug`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;
