Codeigniter 3 RC2 Admin developement guideline - summer - 02-23-2015
Hi there everyone.
I'm developing an html/css admin template with Codeigniter 3 RC2 to use as back-end of my sites. i want to develop it in way that i can use it with multiple sites. each of my site contains front-end and back-end. which share the same database and config file, everything else i keep separate.
i have a little issue, i need some expert advice on how to setup admin to work correctly.
all my links open at:
Code:
www.domain.com/manager/{page_name}thats why i have one controller manager, but i want {page_name} (login, dashboard, orders) to be my controller, can is do this with codeigniter's MVC structure or do i need HMVC for that.
if HMVC is required where can i get one which will work with CI 3 RC2.
Thanks.

You can add folders in the controllers folder.
In your case, create a folder called "manager" in the controllers folder. Then, in the manager folder you create a controller for each page you want. The path would now be www.domain.com/{folder}/{controller}/{function}, for example www.domain.com/manager/user/create
Hope that helps.

Hi Silentium!
Thanks for the reply, problem is almost solved.
how can i set routes for it so that next segment after "manager/" is a controller in manager(sub-directory in application/controllers).
it this right?
Code:
$route['manager/(:any)'] = 'manager/$1';
$route['manager'] = 'manager/manager';how can i set the default controller for this sub-directory(manager)?
Thanks in advance.

/(:any) is a catch all route and needs to be the very last route in your routes file or none of the routes after it will work!
HMVC for CI 3.0

^Thanks for the routing tip, i have that HMVC but its not optimized for RC2, at least not yet. has some issues with autoloading session library.
another question:
I have some functions in each controller which are same for all. how can i make a common file for it and reuse in all admin controllers.
Thanks.
RE: Codeigniter 3 RC2 Admin developement guideline - InsiteFX - 02-24-2015
Createe a MY_Controller and put all your common controller functions/methods in it.

^Thanks alot, i have already done that. will i be able to move to hmvc after using MY_Controller?

There is no need to add anything to the routes config. CI supports sub folders in the controller directory by default.
Here is the documentation link http://www.codeigniter.com/userguide3/general/controllers.html#organizing-your-controllers-into-sub-directories.
The only optional settings you might need is setting a default controller for the sub-directory. To do that, just add what you have on row 2 in the routes.php config.
Code:
$route['manager'] = 'manager/<default_controller>';Regarding shared functions, I would go with a 'MY_Controller' as recommended by @InsiteFX
More info on how you do that can be found here http://www.codeigniter.com/userguide3/general/core_classes.html

Yes, Your MY_Controller will extend the MX_Controller for HMVC.
