In this tutorial we will be looking into Doctrine Record Hooks. This will allow us to trigger certain actions in our Models.
We are going to use this feature to simplify a few things in the existing code, and even gain some performance benefits.

In this article we are going to create Templates (with CodeIgniter) to keep our Views organized, and avoid repeating the same HTML code. Also we are going to learn about Doctrine Data Hydrators to see alternative ways to structure the data returned from the database.
In this article we are going to look at 3 main subjects: Hooks (with CodeIgniter), Doctrine Profiling and DQL. And we are going to see how we can use these to optimize some of our database interactions.
Today we will continue building our Message Board project. First we will start building the Home Page, which will be a Forum List. Then we will learn about Doctrine Data Fixtures. This will help us create some test data to play with.
In this episode of the series, we will continue building our Message Board project. First we will have a quick overview of Doctrine Model Relationships. Then we will create Models for our Message Board, such as: Forums, Threads, Posts etc… with proper relationships. Finally we will learn how to add data into such Models.
CRUD stands for Create, Read, Update and Delete, the basic operations performed on the database. With regular CodeIgniter setups, most developers would use the Active Record Class for performing such operations. But we are not going to be doing that.
In this episode of the series, I will show you how to perform CRUD with Doctrine.
In this episode we are going to build a User Signup Form following these steps:
- We build a Login Form View and a Login Controller.
- Learn about some URL Helpers.
- Change the Default Controller.
- Implement User Authentication.
- Learn about Singleton Pattern and use it to improve our code design.
- Learn about the Sessions Library.
- Implement User Logout.
In this episode we are going to build a User Signup Form following these steps:
- We build a “User” Model with Doctrine.
- Learn about Mutators.
- Create tables using Doctrine.
- Remove index.php from CodeIgniter urls
- Build and Style the Signup Form.
- Learn about Helpers, Libraries and how to extend them.
- Form Validation and checking for duplicates.
In this episode:
- We do a quick fresh install of CodeIgniter and Doctrine, without going into details like last episode.
- Briefly go over some of the basic concepts of CodeIgniter and Doctrine.
- First we will review Controllers and Views in CodeIgniter.
- Then we will move on to Models using Doctrine. This is where things are going to get a little different, compared to other CodeIgniter tutorials out there.
- Finally we will preview a sample Doctrine Model and talk about what our main project is going to be.
Being inspired by the wonderful series of articles/screencasts on the nettuts website called CodeIgniter From Scratch I decided to write my own series on using CodeIgniter and Doctrine together to build a functional website in a series of tutorials.
In this first part of series, I will show you how to create a basic CodeIgniter install and add Doctrine as a plug-in.
In this video, I show some sample code I wrote in a fresh install of CodeIgniter and Doctrine. It’s very easy to use once you get familiar with it. This will allow you to avoid writing repetetive CRUD functionality in all of your CodeIgniter models.
Later I will post an article showing how to install Doctrine into your CodeIgniter setup.
