Modular Separation for CodeIgniter 2

Posted about 2 years ago

Sadly CodeIgniter 2.0-dev has not brought us any sort of modular/HMVC system, but luckly Modular Separation works for this new "version" with two minor tweaks.

The fix was worked out a few hours after the CodeIgniter 2.0 dev code was released but I was hoping wiredesignz would incorporate and re-post. Sadly the man has other commitments to attend to, so I have released the patched version.

I will use this fork to work on some cool new CodeIgniter 2.0 related features such as supporting Packages as well as the existing custom "module location" array.

Note: In no way is this intended as theft of wiredesignz work. He is a brilliant developer who I have a great deal of respect for, so please notice his name is still on every file with only "@modified Phil Sturgeon" added in. I have patched his work.

Update: There was some confusion in this post with my wording. CodeIgniter 2.0 is not officially released yet, I am talking about the development code. DO NOT use CodeIgniter 2.0 on any live sites just yet, I will post an update when I feel confident enough to run CodeIgniter 2.0 on my live sites.

Hi phil,

I follow your website regularly,you do a good job keep it up. I have one question regarding codeigniter 2.0 - is it better to wait until the final version or can i start working with 2.0, i saw you are changing pyrocms to 2.0, Did you face any problems using this. We are starting a new project in our company and how hard it will be to upgrade from 1.7.2 to 2.0 in future.

Released? Where? CI 2.0 is still in development, hasn't made it out yet.

CodeIgniter 2.0 was released? Where can one find it? On CodeIgnter.com it is still 1.7.2?

Hold your horses guys, CodeIgniter 2.0 is still in development, but the codebase has been released. I am getting my code working with it so I can play along with the development changes and bug-fixes as they come in.

Do NOT start deploying websites with CodeIgniter 2.0 just yet, there are still some major bugs to be sorted out. I have squashed a few of them and have one left that I am going to look at tonight. I'll post an upgrade guide when I believe CodeIgniter 2.0 is ready to go into use.

Btw, PyroCMS is running perfectly on CodeIgniter 2.0 :-)

Hi Phil,
Thanks for the answer,

Every one in Codeigniter community try to develop a CMS (Which I really appreciate), but no one tries to do a basic structure or some basic modular development structure which will allow us to use it more ways than possible now. I am not sure whether you got my point or not, I mean if I want to develop a CRM I should be able to use the basic structure and develop it, If I want to develop a website I should be able to do it, If I have to do something else I should be able to do it. I know we can modify Pyro CMS to do all this stuff which i am doing now.. but I think you will know a better solution for this may be..

Hi Phil,

Having a slight issue applying the update. I am just testing out a fresh alpha copy of CI2.0. I have copied the patched files to the application's libraries folder, created a modules folder and a page module. Unfortunately, when I try to access the module, I get a "404 Page Not Found" error.

What could I be doing wrong?

just to let everyone know... you need to put these in the application/core folder as of latest codeigniter 2 version... placing them in application/libraries is in older versions.

Just tried implementing module separation 2.1 from the bitbucket repo. , and it was looking for My_config. So i stole it from pyrocms and it worked fine :)
