CodeIgniter Third party class not loading
- by Jatin Soni
I am trying to implement Dashboard widget class (found here: http://harpanet.com/programming/php/codeigniter/dashboard/index#installation) but it is giving me error Unable to load the requested class
I have tried to add this class in autoload as well as menually to my controller $this->load->library('dash') but this also giving the same error.
I have checked dash.php and found below method private function __example__() but can't understand what the developer is saying in comment.
class Dash
{
private function __example__()
{
/*
* This function is purely to show an example of a dashboard method to place
* within your own controller.
*/
// load third_party hArpanet dashboard library
$this->load->add_package_path(APPPATH.'third_party/hArpanet/hDash/');
$dash =& $this->load->library('dash');
$this->load->remove_package_path(APPPATH.'third_party/hArpanet/hDash/');
// configure dashboard widgets - format: type, src, title, cols, alt (for images)
$dash->widgets = array(
array('type'=>'oop', 'src'=>'test_dash', 'title'=>'Test OOP Widget', 'cols'=>3),
// if 'title' is set to FALSE, the title block is omitted entirely
// note: this is an 'html' widget but is being fed content from a local method
array('type'=>'html', 'src'=>self::test_method(), 'title'=>false, 'cols'=>3),
array('type'=>'file', 'src'=>'saf_inv.htm', 'title'=>'Safety Investigation'),
// multi-content widget - set widget title in outer array (also note use of CI anchor to create a link)
array('title'=>anchor('tz', 'TARGET ZERO'),
// sub-content follows same array format as single content widget
// 'img' content can also have an 'alt' text
array('type'=>'img', 'src'=>'saf_tzout.gif', 'alt'=>'Action Completed'),
array('type'=>'file', 'src'=>'saf_tz.htm'),
array('type'=>'file', 'src'=>'ave_close.htm', 'title'=>'Average Time to Close')
),
array('type'=>'file', 'src'=>'saf_meet.htm', 'title'=>'Safety Meeting'),
array('type'=>'file', 'src'=>'saf_acc.htm', 'title'=>'Accident Investigation'),
array('type'=>'file', 'src'=>'saf_hazmat.htm', 'title'=>anchor('hazmat', 'HAZMAT')),
array('type'=>'file', 'src'=>'saf_cont.htm', 'title'=>'Loss of Containment'),
array('type'=>'file', 'src'=>'saf_worksinfo.htm', 'title'=>'Works Information'),
// an action widget - 'clear' will generate a blank widget with a style of clear:both
array('type'=>'clear'),
// multi-content widget - width can be set using the 'cols' param in outer array
array('title'=>'RAG Report', 'cols' => 2,
array('type'=>'file', 'src'=>'saf_rag.htm'),
array('type'=>'img', 'src'=>'ProcSaf.gif')),
array('type'=>'file', 'src'=>'saf_chrom.htm', 'title'=>'Chrome checks'),
);
// populate the view variable
$widgets = $dash->build('safety');
// render the dashboard
$this->load->view('layout_default', $widgets);
}
...................
} // end of Dash class
Installation path is root/application/third_party/hArpanet/hDash/libraries/dash.php
How can I load this class to my system and use widgets?
