x editable and codeigniter: display error message if data not updated into db
if you are processing the editable submission using ajax you need to set:
echo 1; //if model returns true
and
echo 0; //if model returns false
in the controller.
Then in the ajax reponse you need to check in the script:
(Consider the response variable is response)
if(response==1){ alert('Update Success.');}else{ alert('Update Failure !')}
This would be easier if you provided us with a code sample.
If you're working with ActiveRecord, you can always use:
if($this->db->affected_rows() > 0){ return true;}else{ return false;}
