Create the Models Views and Controllers

Go back to the command line, and in the plugins/wp-mvc directory, generate scaffolding (initial code for a resource's model, views, and controllers) for the Venue resource:

./wpmvc generate scaffold VenueListing Venue

This will create a model, views, a public controller, and an admin controller for venues in plugins/venue-listing/app/. You will also now see an admin menu for managing venues.

Modify the admin views

The generated code only uses the name column, so let's add fields to the add and edit forms for the other columns.

<?php
// app/views/admin/venues/add.php
?>

<h2>Add Venue</h2>

<?php echo $this->form->create($model->name); ?>
<?php echo $this->form->input('name'); ?>
<?php echo $this->form->input('url', array('label' => 'URL', 'style' => 'width: 300px;')); ?>
<?php echo $this->form->input('address1', array('label' => 'Address 1')); ?>
<?php echo $this->form->input('address2', array('label' => 'Address 2')); ?>
<?php echo $this->form->input('city'); ?>
<?php echo $this->form->input('state', array('style' => 'width: 40px;')); ?>
<?php echo $this->form->input('zip', array('style' => 'width: 80px;')); ?>
<?php echo $this->form->input('description'); ?>
<?php echo $this->form->end('Add'); ?>

<?php
// app/views/admin/venues/edit.php
?>

<h2>Edit Venue</h2>

<?php echo $this->html->object_link($object, array('controller' => 'venues', 'text' => 'View')); ?>

<?php echo $this->form->create($model->name); ?>
<?php echo $this->form->input('name'); ?>
<?php echo $this->form->input('url', array('label' => 'URL', 'style' => 'width: 300px;')); ?>
<?php echo $this->form->input('address1', array('label' => 'Address 1')); ?>
<?php echo $this->form->input('address2', array('label' => 'Address 2')); ?>
<?php echo $this->form->input('city'); ?>
<?php echo $this->form->input('state', array('style' => 'width: 40px;')); ?>
<?php echo $this->form->input('zip', array('style' => 'width: 80px;')); ?>
<?php echo $this->form->input('description'); ?>
<?php echo $this->form->end('Update'); ?>

Modify the public views

Let's display the venue address and a link to its website in the public show view.

<?php
// app/views/venues/show.php
?>

<h2><?php echo $object->name; ?></h2>

<div>
  <?php echo $this->html->link('Website', $object->url); ?>
</div>

<?php
  echo '<div>'.$object->address1.'</div>';
  if (!empty($object->address2)) {
    echo '<div>'.$object->address2.'</div>';
  }
  echo '<div>'.$object->city.', '.$object->state.', '.$object->zip.'</div>';
?>

<p>
  <?php echo $this->html->link('All Venues', array('controller' => 'venues')); ?>
</p>

That's it! You can now begin to add venues in the admin section in Venues > Add New, edit them, view them at public-facing URLs like /venue/1/, and see a paginated list of them at /venues/.
