+
+<h1>Scaffolding</h1>
+
+<p>Code Igniter's Scaffolding feature provides a fast and very convenient way to add, edit, or delete information in your database 
+during development.</p>
+
+<p class="important"><strong>Very Important:</strong>  Scaffolding is intended for development use only.  It provides very little
+security other than a "secret" word, so anyone who has access to your Code Igniter site can potentially edit or delete your information.  
+If you use scaffolding make sure you disable it immediately after you are through using it.  DO NOT leave it enabled on a live site.
+And please, set a secret word before you use it.</p>
+
+
+<h2>Why would someone use scaffolding?</h2>
+
+<p>Here's a typical scenario:  You create a new database table during development and you'd like a quick way to insert some data
+into it to work with.  Without scaffolding your choices are either to write some inserts using the command line or to use a
+database management tool like phpMyAdmin.  With Code Igniter's scaffolding feature you can quickly add some data using its browser 
+interface.  And when you are through using the data you can easily delete it.</p>
+
+<h2>Setting a Secret Word</h2>
+
+<p>Before enabling scaffolding please take a moment to set a secret word.  This word, when encountered in your URL,
+will launch the scaffolding interface, so please pick something obscure that no one is likely to guess.</p>
+
+<p>To set a secret word, open your <kbd>application/config/routes.php</kbd> file and look for this item:</p>
+
+<code>$route['scaffolding_trigger'] = '';</code>
+
+<p>Once you've found it add your own unique word.</p>
+
+<p class="important"><strong>Note:</strong> The scaffolding word can <strong>not</strong> start with an underscore.</p>
+
+
+<h2>Enabling Scaffolding</h2>
+
+<p>Note: The information on this page assumes you already know how <a href="controllers.html">controllers</a> work, and that you have
+a working one available.  It also assumes you have configured Code Igniter to auto-connect to your <a href="../libraries/database/index.html">database</a>. 
+If not, the information here won't be very relevant, so you are encouraged to go through those sections first.
+Lastly, it assumes you understand what a class constructor is.  If not, read the last section of the <a href="controllers.html">controllers</a>
+page.</p>
+
+<p>To enable scaffolding you will initialize it in your constructor like this:</p>
+
+<code>
+&lt;?php<br />
+class Blog extends Controller {<br />
+<br />
+&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;function Blog()<br />
+&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;{<br />
+&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;parent::Controller();<br /><br />
+&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<samp>$this->load->scaffolding(</samp><kbd>'table_name'</kbd>);</samp><br />
+&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;}<br />
+}<br />
+?&gt;</code>
+
+<p>Where <kbd>table_name</kbd> is the name of the table (table, not database) you wish to work with.</p>
+
+<p>Once you've initialized scaffolding, you will access it with this URL prototype:
+
+<code>www.your-site.com/index.php/<var>class</var>/<dfn>secret_word</dfn>/</code>
+
+<p>For example, using a controller named <var>Blog</var>, and <dfn>abracadabra</dfn> as the secret word,
+you would access scaffolding like this:</p>
+
+<code>www.your-site.com/index.php/<var>blog</var>/<dfn>abracadabra</dfn>/</code>
+
+<p>The scaffolding interface should be self-explanatory.  You can add, edit or delete records.</p>
+
+
+<h2>A Final Note:</h2>
+
+<p>The scaffolding feature will only work with tables that contain a primary key, as this is information is needed to perform the various
+database functions.</p>
