What's the difference in library folders? - El Forum - 02-07-2010

Title says it all. There is a SYSTEM/LIBRARIES as well as a SYSTEM/APPLICATION/LIBRARIES folder. When I want custom functions to get booted in via "autoload.php", I need to use SYSTEM/LIBRARIES. What's the other one do/for?

dont edit the ones in system/libraries. put all of your code into application/libraries. this is so if you upgrade the codeigniter install you dont overwrite any of your code.

I suggest you take the application folder out of the system folder, then LEAVE THE SYSTEM FOLDER, just don't touch the files there.

Ok, but when I put my own library ("captions.php") into the app/libraries folder and then added its name to the autoload.php file, it wasn't ever loaded. It only worked when I added my file to the system/libraries folder.
Thoughts on why this happened?
