Does anyone know how to create online installation like Joomla or Wordpress into project based on CI.
I think installation will :
1. Edit the database.php file in config.
2. Run the query to create database structure.
3. Automatically delete the installation file.

Sounds good, srobet. "Edit the database.php file in config" gives me pause, but I don't know how else you'd do it.
I would recommend writing this in an install.php file that has nothing to do with CI, like, it's just a standalone script. Sounds like you're heading that route anyway.

You'll also have to dynamically generate the base_url in config.php, possibly change the URI_REQUEST, at the minimum.
For full support you'd need to offer a way to change the index.php file to support a system folder outside of webroot, the encrpytion key, the log/cache folders.
It's a thought I have had multiple times... would definitely be a worthy addition to CI.

Good point, Michael.

Me too. I started off on a sort of CI App prototyping GUI awhile back. Only got as far as a bunch of sketches, some pretty designs, and a tiny bit of code.

We have done a start of an installer script in Linkster. It's not yet complete and not working as expected for an end user, but you can check it on our SVN repository:

Yes. like I told, we only have started something that is not yet finished. As you can see our installer create a htaccess file on the fly, you should be able to go in the same manner to create dynamically the database.php file.
