I have to install 10+ APIs in my third_party folder, each has it´s own examples files for testing oauth validation and other features.
without too many changes, has anyone found an easy way to hack the Codeigniter routing to execute files like
$route['hackToken'] = "/application/third_party/googleads-php-lib-master/examples/AdWords/Auth/GetRefreshToken.php";
Codeigniter expects to find a class derived from Controller at the target of a route. So, you will not be able to do this unless you create a Controller for each example.

In the last 3 months, i have learnt html, css, js and php and now i'm trying to learn Framework Codeigniter. My teacher gave me a rough idea abt MVC and asked me to download a project made on codeigniter from internet and edit it.
I downloaded a login form project and tried to read it. But i'm still kind of confused how everything works. i hv 2 questions:
What is the correct approach to learn codeigniter?
In how many days one can learn codeigniter? (i practice around 6-7 hrs a day)
The best way to learn codeigniter is to read the manual of codeigniter
Because, codeigniter framework is so much popular for their well formatted and clean documentation.
Or you can check this for beginner level tutorial
Or if you want to learn codeigniter by doing practical projects then you can follow this link
I learned CI over a weekend using this technique.
Start with simply setting up a 2 page site.
Home and About Us.
Pass simple string variables from the controllers to the views.
Next, bring a model into it.
Make a method in your model that returns some plain text, to the controller and finally to the model.
Next, make the model actually make a request to your database and return the result to the constructor then view.
After that try these:
write a helper function
Try making a basic route
Log a debugging message
upload a file from a form using the upload library
That's a good grounding in CI
Keep in mind Codeigniter is no longer in development also.
If your keen on sticking with PHP, you might want to check out the similar active project called "Laravel" after getting the hang of CIs very simple MVC structure.
Good luck!
the common way is read their manual and follow the guide, the another approach is search youtube for codeigniter turial, there are many good tutorial out there and easy to follow for example here is my result in the first place for keyword "codeigniter tutorial"

What is the best way to use codeIgniter with BoilerplateJS? should I put the codeIgniter folder in a BoilerplateJS folder or the contrary? Or something else? Need to make an authentifcation page in codeigniter and redirect the application in boilerplateJS.
Thanks.
I tried BoilerplateJS with CI in the following way:
Basically this is including BoilerplateJS in CodeIgniter folder.
I included all the BoilerplateJS code except the index file in to a folder named public which is in the root folder of CodeIgniter. The index file is placed in the views folder and will be loaded by a controller. (See the image)
For this to work some file paths had to be tweaked.
File paths in boilerplatejs index file (boilerplate.html in my case) had to be changed as follows:
./libs/jquery/jquery-min.js >>to>> public/libs/jquery/jquery-min.js
./libs/underscore/underscore-1.3.3.js >>to>> public/libs/underscore/underscore-1.3.3.js
and so on.
In main.js requirejs path configurations should be changed to:
require.config({
//Let's define short alias for commonly used AMD libraries and name-spaces.
paths : {
// requirejs plugins in use
text : 'libs/require/text',
i18n : 'libs/require/i18n',
path : 'libs/require/path',
// namespace that aggregate core classes that are in frequent use
Boiler : './app/core/_boiler_'
}
});
And in your controller you can load boilerplatejs by: $this->load->view('boilerplate.html');
I was thinking of integrating BoilerplateJS and CodeIgniter and probably use codeignighter-rest server for some time.
If all goes well I will share the code within the week.
A sample project is available at: https://github.com/slayerjay/codeigniter-boilerplatejs
EDIT Adding my view on CodeIgniter and BoilerplateJS
Firstly I have not (yet) done any major projects with BoilerplateJS and Codeigniter. But I have done projects using CI and the CI REST Server and know BoilerplateJS in and out.
I do not have much experience with other PHP frameworks (I have meddled with cakePHP and some others) but for me CI helps me to organize my code according to MVC pattern in a clean way, and provides excellent helper libraries and documentation.
As the OP rightly said, authentication is handled best outside BoilerplateJS and this can be done nicely with something like ion-auth for CI. After the user is authenticated and the SPA is loaded, the rest of the calls will be handled by the CodeIgniter REST server.
In this case you won’t be using much of the View aspect of your MVC architecture, but CI’s models and helpers would be of great help.
If you just need a simple REST server you can go with some lightweight solution that just provides REST type routing, but in many cases you will need to interact with a database and do some data processing.
So if you have decided to have a PHP backend for your application, Codeigniter with the REST server is a good choice.
I'm developing the custom payment method for Magento involving the SOAP requests. The service provided the wsdl schema that I should use. But I'm struggling to decide, what would be the best place to put it following Magento module structure.
Right now I'm considering to use etc directory, but I have some concerns on that point, since this directory is supposed to have the xml config files only. Please let me know if someone has faced such issue already, and what do you consider the best architecture approach.
I know, it's not the big deal what placement I will end up with, but I would rather follow the existing pattern, if it exists...
You can refer to the magento core modules: app/code/core/Mage/Usa/etc/wsdl/FedEx
Etc directory is used for storing all configuration and service data, so you can add your wsdl file to the etc directory too.
I believe Smarty templates has functionality built in that allows you to manage your site URLs from a config file so if something gets moved, you only have to update the URL in one place. Does this sort of functionality exist in CodeIgniter? If not, any pointers or examples on how/where to add it?
For example:
Instead of hard-coding the link it would be: Settings
But where would you want to set $links so that it was available everywhere? Or is it really best to just hard code them?
Take a look at the config class. It allows you to make custom config files.
It's not entirely made for URL's but you sure can use them.
The base url should be basically right at the start of /app/config/config.php, where app is the name of your codeigniter application folder. You access it through calls to the base_url() function.
Yes, it's called Routes, configuration located at config/routes.php. Documentation
If you ask about the rendered html of the links, then your best bet would be using site_url() in conjunction with constants, for example site_url(URL_SETTINGS);, there is no built in functionality for that, but I can say I don't think that is necessary as it would be used too rarely, but it would influence performance every single load.
in yii i could have mvc components (acts like an own application). could i have this too in codeigniter?
eg. in SYSTEM/APPLICATION have a folder called COMPONENTS and in there i put stand-alone applications that would be a part of the application. components like ADDRESS BOOK, MAIL, TWITTER and so on. every component folder has folders like: models, views, controllers, config etc.
so a component model extends the application model which in turn extends system's (code igniter) model. the same goes for view and controller.
i've already got a lot of these components which i want to use in codeigniter. is it good idea to place them as i said in SYSTEM/APPLICATION/COMPONENTS or is there best practice for this?
You can do this in CodeIgniter using v1.7.2 or 2.0, but using Packages as Billiam suggested would not work and sadly he is just confusing you.
You are basically looking for a HMVC architecture and this can be provided with a system called Modular Separation.
That works with CodeIgniter 1.7.2 and I have patched it to work with the (still unfinished) CodeIgniter 2.0 branch on the link in the entry.
Not by default in CI 1.7.2, but 'packages' will be available in 2.0.
Added ability to set "Package" paths -
specific paths where the Loader and
Config classes should try to look
first for a requested file. This
allows distribution of
sub-applications with their own
libraries, models, config files, etc.
in a single "package" directory. See
the Loader
class documentation for more
details.
