Codeigniter 2 Ajax Problems
Whilst building a new site for a client I was building an AJAX call to re-order images on the fly as to speak.
I use jquery and Ajax all the time. But this time I was getting nothing but 500 error.
OK I’d just upgraded to using Codeigniter 2, jQuery 1.5 and jQuery 1.8.9. I’m not seeing any javascript errors in Firebug.

Custom Drupal 7 Module
Are you sure you locked the door before you left?
To really get under the hood of Drupal 7 I’ve decided to build an e-brochure module. Some would say that I should start with something easier but what the the hell I’ve already built it on Codeigniter so I’ve got the basics already.
Outline:
- Categories that can be used for menu, blocks etc.
- Product can belong to one or more categories.
- Product can be a single product type with or without children products (Attributes)
- Products can be updated online or through uploading a ‘csv’ file. This is particularly useful for price updates.
- Specials or featured function that can be used for displaying in a custom block.
- Discount Groups that can be added on the fly, setup through the user page.
- Each product has multiple prices according to the discount group (note I call it buying group).
- Each child (or attribute) has prices set by discount group
- NO CART
- Order form that allows customers to place and email an order.
Codeigniter vs Drupal
