CodeIgniter
There are quite a few tutorials that will show you how to how to get autocomplete for CodeIgniter 1.7.x but unfortunately the same doesnt apply for CodeIgniter 2.0. I have however been using a method that allows me to get code-hinting across my controllers and models.
This comes with a warning however. We will be making some changes to the controller.php and model.php so make sure you backup these 2 files or at the very least have a zipped copy of CodeIgniter handy in case things go awry.
If you have your codeigniter app ready, navigate to your system folder and open up controller.php and model.php in the core directory. Copy the lines below and paste them in each file. Most likely before the start of the class declaration.
It's been a long time coming but it's finally here. Yup, CodeIgniter 2.0 has been released. Best of all, it comes in two flavours: Core and Reactor.
For those who want to stick to Ellislab development cycle, Core is for you. Quite simply, EllisLab use the Core version of CodeIgniter to develop its commercial products such as Expression Engine and MojoMotor.
This tutorial will show you how to quickly and easily create a local CodeIgniter repository on your computer. This is very handy if you are looking to start a new project very quickly without having to download the zip file from the Codeigniter website, extracting it and then copying the file to its required location, ideally the webserver where your files are hosted.
I really do enjoy using CodeIgniter for a lot of my web development projects but sometimes I do get frustrated at the lack of simple things such as chaining especially with the email library. Not to mention, I have had a few problems with it on occasion. I recently decided to take a look at what PHP apps or libraries could easily integrate with PHP without so much as having to always write a "CI" library for integration to be successful..
For my first port of call, I immediately thought of Swift Mailer. I did search the web and found a library with tried to integrate Swift Mailer with CodeIgniter but guess what. It was for an old version of CodeIgniter and I felt the version of Swift Mailer used then was pretty old.
In this tutorial, we will be looking at how to use Adobe Spry with CodeIgniter. There have been several tutorials shows you how to use CodeIgniter with other JavaScript frameworks but none really have touched on Spry. So I hope this will be the first of many tutorials that will showcase Spry's usage with CodeIgniter.
