Name: Mahana Messaging Library for CodeIgniter

Author: Jeff Madsen

Location: - :jrmadsen67/Mahana-Messaging-library-for-CodeIgniter.git

Description: CI library for linking to application's existing user table and creating basis of an internal messaging system No views or controllers included - DO CHECK the README for setup instructions and notes

Welcome to the Mahana Messaging Library for CodeIgniter

This library is intended as a starting off point for building an internal messaging system for your CodeIgniter application. It does NOT include any controllers or views. To use this library:

1. download from github at the above url
2. there are 5 files (not including this README):

    - mahana.sql -- run this sql script in your database. Note that these tables are all InnoDB - Mahana uses transactions
    - config/mahana.php -- you will need to set up your existing users table information here, following the sample data style
    - language/english/mahana\_lang.php -- all error and success messages can be changed here, or multilingual support can be added

    \-- models/mahana\_model.php -- the database model

    \-- libraries/Mahana\_messaging -- the main library file
3. from your controller, load the library as either:

    (Recommended) $this->load->library('mahana\_messaging'); $msg = $this->mahana\_messaging->get\_message($msg\_id, $sender\_id);

    or

    $this->load->library('mahana\_messaging'); $mahana = new Mahana\_messaging(); $msg = $mahana->get\_message($msg\_id, $sender\_id);
4. All functions return the array:

    $status\['err'\] 1= error, 0 = no error $status\['code'\] a specific code for that return value, found in config/mahana.php $status\['msg'\] a configurable message, found in language/english/mahana\_lang.php $status\['retval'\] (optional) returned array of data
5. Features

    Mahana Messaging has a couple of small features you should be aware of:

    1. using the config/mahana.php constants USER\_TABLE\_TABLENAME, USER\_TABLE\_ID, USER\_TABLE\_USERNAME you may quickly and easily integrate the messaging library with your exisiting user table
    2. all return messages are configurable and can be made multi-lingual
    3. return array $status makes for easy conversion to json format for ajax-based systems
    4. get\_full\_thread() and get\_all\_threads() have a unique parameter - $full\_thread. If set to true, a newly added participant to a thread can see all messages dating BEFORE he was added, allowing him to "catch up" on the conversation. Ideal for adding a manager or a new salesperson to a conversation.

Thank you for using Mahana Messaging! Please be sure to leave the author's credits in the library file.
