CodeIgniter PHP Structure

Views/layouts/mainlayout.php: Master Layout Template

This file serves as the main layout template using CodeIgniter's view system. It provides the common HTML structure and includes partial views for consistent page elements.

Uses <?= $this->include('partials/...') ?> for partial includes and <?= $this->renderSection('content') ?> for content injection.

    
<!DOCTYPE html>
<?= $this->include('partials/theme-settings') ?>

<head>

    <?= $this->include('partials/title-meta') ?>

    <?= $this->include('partials/head-css') ?>

</head>

<?= $this->include('partials/body') ?>

	<div class="main-wrapper">

		<?= $this->include('partials/menu') ?>

		<?= $this->renderSection('content') ?>

	</div>

	<?= $this->include('partials/modal-popup') ?>

	<?= $this->include('partials/vendor-scripts') ?>

</body>
</html>
    

Views/index.php: Content Page Template

Each view extends the main layout using <?= $this->extend('layouts/mainlayout') ?> and defines content sections with <?= $this->section('content') ?>.

This approach provides clean separation of concerns and maintains consistent layout across all pages while allowing flexible content.

    
<?= $this->extend('layouts/mainlayout') ?>

<?= $this->section('content') ?>

    <!-- Page HTML content goes here -->

    <div class="page-wrapper">

        <div class="content">
            <!-- Your page content -->
        </div>

		<?= $this->include('partials/footer') ?>

    </div>

<?= $this->endSection() ?>
    
CodeIgniter View System Benefits
  • Template Inheritance: Views extend layouts for consistent structure
  • Partial Views: Reusable components like headers, footers, and navigation
  • Content Sections: Flexible content injection without output buffering
  • Clean Separation: Logic and presentation are clearly separated

Dynamic Title Feature

Overview

The Dreams EMR CodeIgniter application implements an intelligent title generation system using CodeIgniter helpers that analyzes URI segments and converts them into user-friendly page titles. This system processes URL segments through multiple transformation steps to create readable, properly formatted titles.

File Location: app/Helpers/title_helper.php
This helper contains the title generation logic
Key Features
Smart Acronym Detection

Converts acronyms to uppercase

Smart Suffix Detection

Automatically adds "Icons" and "Charts" suffixes

Word Processing

Converts URI segments to proper title case

SEO Optimized

Creates search-engine friendly titles

CodeIgniter Integration

Uses CodeIgniter URI service and helper system

Professional Appearance

Consistent and polished title formatting

Examples
  • index → "Admin Dashboard"
  • appointment-consultation → "Appointment Consultation"
  • ui-alerts → "Alerts"
  • icon-bootstrap → "Bootstrap Icons"
  • chart-js → "JS Charts"
How It Works
  1. CodeIgniter URI service reads current URL segments
  2. Gets the last segment from the URI
  3. Converts hyphens to spaces
  4. Applies smart acronym detection
  5. Generates final title
Title Format

All generated titles follow this consistent format:

<title> {Generated Title} | Dreams EMR - Responsive Bootstrap 5 Medical Admin Template</title>
Example Output

For appointment-consultation URI segment:

Appointment Consultation | Dreams EMR - Responsive Bootstrap 5 Medical Admin Template

Note

The system automatically handles title generation using CodeIgniter helpers. For custom acronyms and suffixes like "Icons" or "Charts", you may need to manually add them to the title generation logic in app/Helpers/title_helper.php.

JSON Data Management

The Dreams EMR CodeIgniter app uses JSON files to store and retrieve data through a helper system. This offers a simple and lightweight alternative to databases and works smoothly with CodeIgniter’s MVC structure.

Key Features
CodeIgniter Helper

Dedicated json_helper.php for data loading

Error Handling

Automatic fallback to empty array on errors

Fast Processing

Direct file access with helper functions

Easy Maintenance

Simple to read, modify, and version control

MVC Integration

Seamlessly works with CodeIgniter controllers

Structured Data

Consistent JSON schema with helper validation

Complete Implementation Flow
JSON Helper Function
File: app/Helpers/json_helper.php
This helper automatically loads and validates JSON files
// app/Helpers/json_helper.php
<?php

if (!function_exists('load_json')) {
    function load_json(string $fileName): array
    {
        $file = ROOTPATH . 'public/assets/json/' . $fileName;
        
        if (is_file($file)) {
            $jsonContent = file_get_contents($file);
            return json_decode($jsonContent, true) ?? [];
        }
        
        return [];
    }
}
Controller Implementation
File: app/Controllers/PatientsController.php
Controller loads JSON data and passes it to the view
// app/Controllers/PatientsController.php
<?php

namespace App\Controllers;

class PatientsController extends BaseController
{
    public function all_patients_list()
    {
        // Load JSON data using helper function
        $data['patients'] = load_json('all-patients.json');
        $data['totalPatients'] = count($data['patients']);
        
        // Pass data to view
        return view('all-patients-list', $data);
    }
}
Routes Configuration
File: app/Config/Routes.php
Define URL routes that map to controller methods
// app/Config/Routes.php
<?php

use CodeIgniter\Router\RouteCollection;

/**
 * @var RouteCollection $routes
*/

// Main routes using Home controller
$routes->get('calendar', 'Home::Calendar');
$routes->get('video-call', 'Home::Video_call');

// Patient details routes
$routes->get('patient-details-appointments', 'PatientDetailsController::patientDetailsAppointments');
$routes->get('patient-details-visit-history', 'PatientDetailsController::patientDetailsVisitHistory');

// Specific list routes
$routes->get('all-patients-list', 'PatientsController::all_patients_list');
$routes->get('all-doctors-list', 'DoctorsController::all_doctors_list');

// Other routes
$routes->get('pharmacy', 'PharmacyController::Pharmacy');
$routes->get('staffs', 'StaffsController::Staffs');
View Implementation
File: app/Views/all-patients-list.php
View displays the JSON data in a user-friendly format
// app/Views/all-patients-list.php
<div class="table-responsive">
	<table class="table table-hover table-center mb-0">
		<thead>
			<tr>
				<th>ID</th>
				<th>Name</th>
				<th>Email</th>
				<th>Phone</th>
				<th>Actions</th>
			</tr>
		</thead>
		<tbody>
			<?php if (!empty($patients)): ?>
				<?php foreach ($patients as $patient): ?>
					<tr>
						<td><?= htmlspecialchars($patient['id']) ?></td>
						<td><?= htmlspecialchars($patient['name']) ?></td>
						<td><?= htmlspecialchars($patient['email']) ?></td>
						<td><?= htmlspecialchars($patient['phone']) ?></td>
						<td>
							<a href="<?= base_url('patient-details') ?>" 
								class="btn btn-sm btn-primary">View</a>
						</td>
					</tr>
				<?php endforeach; ?>
			<?php else: ?>
				<tr>
					<td colspan="5" class="text-center">No data found</td>
				</tr>
			<?php endif; ?>
		</tbody>
	</table>
</div>

  2. Controller: Uses helper to load JSON data and prepare it for views
  3. Routes: Routes.php maps URLs to controller methods
  4. View: Displays the JSON data in HTML format with proper error handling

RTL Language Support

Overview

This application supports RTL (Right-to-Left) languages like Arabic and Hebrew. It uses conditional CSS and RTL layout templates to provide proper RTL support

Conditional CSS Loading

RTL-specific CSS is conditionally loaded based on the current page in head-css.php:

// Regular Bootstrap CSS for non-RTL pages
<?php if ($page !== 'layout-rtl') {   ?> 
    <!-- Bootstrap CSS -->
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php echo base_url('assets/css/bootstrap.min.css'); ?>">
<?php }?>  

// RTL Bootstrap CSS for RTL pages
<?php if ($page === 'layout-rtl') {   ?> 
    <!-- Bootstrap CSS -->
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php echo base_url('assets/css/bootstrap.rtl.min.css'); ?>">
<?php }?>
Key Features
  • Conditional CSS Loading - Automatically switches between regular and RTL Bootstrap CSS based on page type
  • CodeIgniter View System - Uses CodeIgniter's partial system for dynamic CSS loading
  • Bootstrap RTL Support - Leverages Bootstrap's built-in RTL CSS framework
  • Page-Based Detection - Automatically detects RTL pages and loads appropriate stylesheets
Note

The conditional CSS loading automatically detects RTL pages and loads appropriate Bootstrap stylesheets. This approach ensures that RTL-specific styles are only loaded when needed, improving performance and maintainability.

Theme Mode Switcher

Overview

The template includes a live dark mode toggle in the header that allows users to switch between light and dark themes instantly. This feature provides better user experience in different lighting conditions.

How to Access

Dark mode is accessible through the header toggle button:

<!-- Light/Dark Mode Button -->
<div class="header-item d-none d-sm-flex me-2">
    <button class="topbar-link btn topbar-link" id="light-dark-mode" type="button">
        <i class="ti ti-moon fs-16"></i>
    </button>
</div>
Implementation

Dark mode is implemented using JavaScript in theme-script.js:

// JavaScript implementation in theme-script.js
document.getElementById("light-dark-mode").addEventListener("click", function(e) {
    "light" === config.theme ? 
        changeLayoutColor("dark") : 
        changeLayoutColor("light")
});
Key Features
  • Live theme switching without page reload
  • User preference persistence
  • Bootstrap 5 dark theme integration
  • Improved readability in low light
Note

The dark mode toggle is available in the header on all pages. Users can switch themes instantly without losing their current work.
