I know this is a simple function but I just thought it could be useful for people to have a global site name e.g My Site and just to add on a string e.g - Home so when calling the function site_name() you can retrieve My Site - Home. The code to add this is below and the url helper is required.

Insert Into /system/applaction/config/config.php

Hi, I am new to CI and MVC concept. Previously, I was building my own PHP classes to handle all the coding in PHP. And currently I am going to port my previous application into CI.

But I have some queries in my mind currently, and I hope to get some advice from all of you here. I have read through the user manual and get the basic understanding on MVC.

My application is a Flash gaming portal and the homepage will have some general information and a panel that show up all the current games available.

I wonder how would my pages structure are in this homepage?

Obviously I need a HomeController, and I need to call a GameController somewhere in the function of my HomeController to pull out all the games and display them in a seperate view?

I hope I am on the right track...

Just a tip for those wanting to send emails with double-byte character sets (eg. big5), there are two things that can screw you up:

1. CI's native Email class does a stripslashes() on the message content when preparing the mail. I would suggest extending the Email class and removing the stripslashes() call from the message() function.

2. Wordwrap - make sure you turn it off in your email configuration (it defaults to true) because it may split a double-byte character.

I'm building a community site that will depend heavily on image uploads. In the beginning my thought was to store everything in one directory with a hash for the filename using SHA2 as MD5 & SHA1 have been known to have potential collisions, I don't even think they are actively used by even the gov't anymore. Anyway, my concern, I don't know when the single directory approach could become more of a hinderance than a benefit as image count piles up.

It's been asked before, 'why don't we just slap the file in a DB blob field'. Now I'm not a DBA and I have thought about that myself considering it would just be a straight shot to the DB without having to access the filesystem thereafter. But, I'm very weary if it turns out that the DB in use has to be changed to another DB down the road and I've heard horror stories of trying to move from one blob type to another. So for me I'm shooting for keeping things on the fileserver.

I've done a search through the forum as well on the interweb, here is the strategy I've decided to run with maybe someone else will find it to be of use, maybe other useful strategies will surface.


Option #1 - Month & Year
IMG_FOLDER/YYYY/MM/ID_FILENAME.EXT

While this looks like a good candidate it doesn't really spread files across the board much and still leaves room for directories to have a massive about of images something I'm trying my best to stay away from.


Option #2 - Hashed
IMG_FOLDER/a-f0-9/a-f0-9/a-f0-9/ID_FULLHASH.EXT

Use the MD5 hash of the image ID. substr() the hash as needed for the 3 sub folder names. For the filename, rename the temp file to the ID plus the full hash to thwart a collision.

Here is an example:

I've written a custom library and saved it as application/libraries/LDAP.php. The library has a custom config file and it is in application/config/LDAP.php. If I have:

applicaation/config/config.php:

$config['log_threshold'] = 4;

applicaation/config/autoload.php:

$autoload['libraries'] = array('LDAP', 'database', 'session', 'validation', 'email');

when I look at my log file I have this snippet:

DEBUG - 2007-10-24 14:48:53 --> Loader Class Initialized
DEBUG - 2007-10-24 14:48:53 --> Config file loaded: config/LDAP.php
DEBUG - 2007-10-24 14:48:53 --> Helpers loaded: form, url
DEBUG - 2007-10-24 14:48:53 --> Database Driver Class Initialized
DEBUG - 2007-10-24 14:48:53 --> Session Class Initialized
DEBUG - 2007-10-24 14:48:53 --> Encrypt Class Initialized
DEBUG - 2007-10-24 14:48:53 --> Validation Class Initialized
DEBUG - 2007-10-24 14:48:53 --> Email Class Initialized
DEBUG - 2007-10-24 14:48:53 --> Controller Class Initialized

and I'm thinking shouldn't I be able to see my LDAP class loaded in my logs? I'm having some weird behaviour with my library so I'm staring my investigation wondering if the library was even loaded.
