Articles In: CodeIgniter

 Not too long ago, I started working with CodeIgniter, a framework created by the same people that brought us Expression Engine.  Part of the reason as to chose this framework was due to the fact that it was lightweight and was built for performance.  Something that I felt ADDT was lacking in sometimes.

The more I work with CodeIgniter, the more I am getting into it.  I have actually started enjoying handcoding everything again instead of taking the usual point and click approach I have used with Dreamweaver for quite few years.  There are a few things I missed not having though.  I so totally loved the authentication system in ADDT.  So much so that I am actually trying to write something similar for CodeIgniter.

Since starting with CodeIgniter, I had been looking for a way to put any websites I created in maintenance mode.  I had considered a couple of options.  The first being to replace main index.php file with another that contained the maintenance info.

I am in the process of creating a small CodeIgniter bundle for use in Dreamweaver.  It has been a while since I released any extensions so bare with me if it takes a while for me to have this released.

 For the past few weeks, I have been attempting to re-write my CMS so as to take advantage of some of the proper features of CodeIgniter.  Having created a few projects using the framework itself, I found myself repeating a lot of code on some pages.  I had not really bothered with creating a MY_Controller file to house all the re-usable code until I started re-writing my CMS.
