I am working on a CodeIgniter - HMVC
What I know:
is I should not create assets like css,js,images inside the application folder in codeigniter, but I have a necessity for it.
**What I am trying to achieve is : **
to create a standalone module and trying to use it in another project. In that case, I really need to add the necessary css,js,images files into the modules folder it self.
The Error I get is:
You don't have permission to access /v7-bitbucket/application/modules/some_modle/assets/bootstrap.min.css on this server.
How do I overcome this?
Please advice.
Thanks.
There are 2 ways I can think of for you to access this data.
The first one is using an htaccess and a custom rule, which redirects certain files to inside the other directory. This way, the user will still have access to only certain specific files outside of the public HTML folder.
The second option is to use PHP and render the content of the file in custom tags.
Ex: Instead of entering <link href="<?= $path ?>">, you would do <style><?= file_get_contents($path) ?></style>. This would be harder to cache, and a bit harder to implement for images.

It appears that this question is asked often and answered the same way: store the css files outside of the application directory and then use base_url() . "path/to/file".
However, I want to keep my css files and js files inside my application/views/ directory, because the views directory is effectively the html space, and css and js belong to that space (in my opinion).
Below is the structure that I wish for:
root
- application
-- views
--- assets
---- css
---- js
- system
When I attempt to load css files from within this directory structure, I get a NetworkError: 403 Forbidden, which makes sense because of CI's framework protocol.
But I am guessing that there is a way.
Publicly reachable files like CSSes images and JS files need to be in public directory next to index.php file. So hierarchy would be:
root
- application
- system
- assets
-- css
-- js
You can aproach to those files with hard coded

or using (loaded) url helper with it's function base_url() or site_url(). Don't forget to fill correct URL into application config file.

Hey i'm going to politely push back on this idea :-)
Your application and system folders should be ABOVE the root, so they are not publicly accessible. (Unless this is a really simple application and you are not doing any database interaction, etc). They should not be considered part of the HTML or public space because you do not want the public accessing them. Set the path for them once in the main index.php file and its done.
Also i suggest renaming your system and application folders, like "system302". Over the long term it makes versioning and upgrading (and reverting if needed) much easier.
We run a main website which is not made in Laravel. A specific script on this website however is made in Laravel. We need this script (or to be exact, a specific view inside of it) to fetch some resources from the main website (PHP files which mainly include HTML). When, inside the Laravel application, we try to include these resources, we can not - as they don't exist in the Laravel project workspace. This results in an error that the file does not exist. Attempting to climb out of the project (../../../file.php) does not seem to help either.
We're including it this way:
<?php
include '~/template/nav.php';
?>
We don't wish to include this file into the actual Laravel project, as that would require having to update it twice to ensure they remain equal. Is there any way for us to include this "external" file in our view? Every bit of research done seems to suggest adding it into the project, which would just cause twice the amount of administration on updates.
Cheers!
Just faced same problem. My Laravel Project is an API that need's to include outside php file. So what I did was specify entire path:
include($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/../../my_example_file.php');
$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] will lead you to Laravel's public folder.
I'm prepare a multistore on magento.
I have a three template, and I was change a few file from code/core and replace in code/local, but only one template take a changing code from code/local
a rest template should take file from code/core/
Now every template take files from code/local/
How can I'm set app to resolve a problem
thx for help
You should NOT overwrite core files in local. Better try to develop your own module which rewrites the core functionality. In this module you can integrate a configuration, so it's only used for one store view, and not for all.
I am looking into building my own CMS / extended framework on top of CodeIgniter, and I was wondering how to structure it to keep code out of the application folder. I noticed that in a typical CI set up, the file structure looks like this:
application/ //code for your application
system/ //CodeIgniter core
index.php
However, in PyroCMS, They have used the following structure:
application/ //code for your application
system/
--cms/ //PyroCMS core
--codeigniter/ //CodeIgniter core.
How do I accomplish a similar result?
To emulate that structure just edit the index.php constants:
APPPATH
BASEPATH
#WebweaverD has provide you a good solution to improve your application usgin HMVC. I will give you another.
How about something like this:
-system/ //CI core
-index.php //manage the front_end requests
-acp.php //manage the back_end requests
-apps/ //applications dir
--back_end/ //only "admin" controllers, libraries, config. No views here
--frond_end/ //only "user" controllers, libraries, config. No views here
--acp/ //views for back_end
--themes/ //views for front_end
All above can be implemented as you want only extending the necessary core files.
The short answer is that everything starts from index.php, this is where core/CodeIgniter.php is included and it is also where application and system paths are set (retrieving values from config).
I think that pyro cms actually sets /system/cms as the application folder, presumably they have written code which looks at the presented application folder for content and processes it.
Another approach is to use wiredesigns modular HMVC:
https://bitbucket.org/wiredesignz/codeigniter-modular-extensions-hmvc
This will allow you to separate your code out into modules. Just have a folder called cms containing all your cms modules and another folder to build your custom content on top.
You set the path to your modules folder in the config so if you wanted your cms code in the system folder you could set the path to your modules folder there and build on top using codeigniter in the standard way, perhaps adding a hook before or after your controller is loaded to call the cms core.
Mine is just a suggestion but you can easy fork pyrocms and build your own cms on it.
PyroCMS will deprecate codeigniter in the next version so you can keep their code and fix it where you need and modify it as you want
I am just a beginner in code igniter. I have just downloaded the code igniter framework. But i don't know that where should i keep my html, php files and stylesheets, images etc. Is there any procedure to do the things? Please guide me.
CodeIgniter has an awesome user guide that will come with the install you can read through (or read it online at - http://codeigniter.com/user_guide/ ), or you can watch some of the videos on their site - http://codeigniter.com/tutorials/
In comparison to most other frameworks you're going to find they have maybe the smallest learning curve and great documentation. I would also recommend learning basic PHP and getting familiar with your web environment maybe before beginning.
I used these tutorials to help get me started with the framework haven't look back since! http://net.tutsplus.com/sessions/codeigniter-from-scratch/
hi I am a weekend coder and picked up CI about a year ago.
It helped me a lot.
The best tutorial I found was on the IBM's developer site. It runs through putting together a simple application. Admittedly, there's nothing in it about directory and file placement but it helps cement ideas about how models, views and controllers (MVC), and why MVC is so helpful. Because the basic idea is quite simple, it's worth running through a simple CI tutorial again and again till you 'feel' or intuit the basic helpfulness of the setup.
Things like JS, CSS files can be kept in their own folders at the first level of your website folder e.g /js or /css or /images. You ask about PHP files as well. PHP files which you, the coder, write, are either 'views', 'models' or 'controllers'. These go in the folders with those names in the /application folder e.g /application/views/yourview.php or /application/controllers/yourcontroller.php. The CI install comes with a default view file and a default controller, which you are probably already aware of.
The files inside /application/config are important as well. Read the user-guide about tweaking these files. The most obvious tweaks are to database.php to connect to your db, autoload to give automatic use of CI helpers/libraries which you can choose, and to config.php to give CI the name of your website e.g the name you give to '/'.
The file 'index.php' comes with the CI installation (/index.php). You don't need to fiddle with it at all really except to determine the level of error reporting you want ('environment') and that's not a priority at all. But it's important to remember this about index.php - that CI uses it as the essential reference for defining paths to useful folders like CSS or images. So even if your view file is in /application/views, if it refers to an image like a logo.gif in /images for example, the path to it is just /images/logo.gif. It is not anything more complicated like ../../images/logo.gif.
I hope that helps.

Offline version of CodeIgniter user guide is available with CodeIgniter which already downloaded by you.
just extract your CodeIgniter zip file in your localhost server root directory,
Then http://localhost/www/CodeIgniter_2.1.2/user_guide/ open this url with browser ,here you can access offline version of CodeIgniter user guide.
Here I am using wamp server so I used this url, If you are using xampp server then please use http://localhost/CodeIgniter_2.1.2/user_guide/
Okay this is what I would usually do for code igniter
here is my directory structure.
CI App Path (e.g "c:\xampp\htdocs\ci_app_name" )
-application
-system
-assets
--css (new folder , where css files will be included)
--js (javascript and jquery libraries location)
Basic HTML and PHP files should be location
CI_app_pah
-application
--views (this is where to put HTML and PHP files)
For other things such as Controller , Models and Views , you can't put any where but put in their related area.
That will be
CI app
-application
--controllers
--models
--views
