Hi Dan,
In "system/application/config/config.php" you'll find this line:
Code:
$config['subclass_prefix'] = 'MY_';What this means is that CodeIgniter will automatically load files from your library directory (application/libraries) that are named after CodeIgniter's native libraries if they have that prefix.
So for example (an example that will help you achieve your goal), you can create a file in application/libraries called MY_Controller.php. Then in that file make a class that extends the Controller class and does what you need it to do, like so:
Code:
<?php
/*
* File: system/application/libraries/MY_Controller.php
*/
class BaseController extends Controller
{
function BaseController()
{
parent::Controller();
$this->load->library('user_agent');
if($this->agent->is_mobile())
{
if($_SERVER['HTTPS'] != 'on')
{
$this->load->helper('url');
redirect(str_replace('http://', 'https://', current_url()));
}
}
}
}Now in all of your site's controllers you'll just extend the BaseController instead of Controller and you're all set.
I hope this helps.
