Hi All,

Therefore I realy intrested to see what are your TOP 3 favorite, most used extensions (plugins, Library, Helper. etc.) that you use with CI.

Would be happy if you can share your expert knowledge.

tank_auth - an excellent, easy-to-use auth system.

Nice one Vik.
Did not realise CI had a good auth library!

I've used a few, and Tank Auth seems to be the best. Here's a review. I like the way Tank Auth's views are bare-bones to make it very easy to include them in your own views.

You can't go past Modular Extensions HMVC as your first choice of library. Then Tank Auth. And then Phil's template library.

My top three are...

"CInject" Dependency Injection Framework - This one was written by me based on my experience in .NET. You can check it out here: http://framework.bootplant.com/docs/cinject/index.html

Colin William's Template Library - http://williamsconcepts.com/ci/codeigniter/libraries/template/

phpActiveRecord ORM - This one isn't specifically, but it is seriously the best ORM I have seen for PHP. I don't even know how much time it has saved me. It is based on Rails' ActiveRecord ORM. Check it out here: http://www.phpactiverecord.org/
