Using the Framework
Basics
MVC Approach
First of all you should learn to create a webpage. CodeCoupler use CodeIgniter as base. CodeIgniter is a web application framework using the Model-View-Controller approach, which allows separation between logic and presentation.
Here is a very very quick "Hello World" example: Hello World
To understand the whole CodeIgniter framework you should read the very clear and thorough documentation here: http://codeigniter.com/user_guide/index.html
Do you know CodeIgniter?
There is one big difference you should know. Please read the next chapter Master Template. In contrast to the pure CodeIgniter framework, CodeCoupler will surround every controller ouput with a master template.
Master Template
In contrast to the basic CodeIgniter framework, every output of a controller will be surrounded by a master-template. The basic layout of the master template looks like this:
<doctype [...] />
<html [...] >
<head>
<charset [...] />
<title> [...] </title>
</head>
<body>
[YOUR CONTROLLER OUTPUT]
</body>
</html>
