[quote author="elitemedia" date="1204650277"]I have some questions:

- You said in your first post that it is the same as Matchbox since version 3.0
But then witch one should we use really ? What are the differences ?

- I would like to know if it can be a good way to use your HMVC to handle some kind of "plugins" (components?) into a CMS for example?

- Is it too a good way to work with it as "reusable" components that we just "plug and play" into another application. Let's say for example I make a contact form as a module that will include the form view, the validation stuff and all the stuff that process email sending of the datas. Then can I just plug it (copy / past + some small config changes) into a next application in 2 minutes without pain?[/quote]

A few of the differences in Modular Extensions compared to Matchbox are:

Modules are not yet aware of the URL unless you make them so, they still require you to use a controller.

Modules can be used in views to build partials totally independent of the main application.

Yes, plug and play is the idea, making reusable modules as components to move to new applications.

Modules can share libraries, models, views etc with the application and with each other.

Modules can load and use other modules and so on.

Modular Extensions does not alter the CodeIgniter core.
