Confusion regarding helper plugin and library - El Forum - 10-16-2010 [eluser]UdayD[/eluser] I want develop a site using CI. But a bit confused between a plugin helper and library. Where i should place what? Like suppose i have a function to validate a user which i will require in all the files. where should i place it in library or create a helper for it or where so that i can use it in all my controllers. Similarly whats the difference between a helper and plugin. Confusion regarding helper plugin and library - El Forum - 10-16-2010 [eluser]MWebber[/eluser] Helpers are collection of function(methods) Plugin is only one function(method) Quote:The main difference is that a plugin usually provides a single function, whereas a Helper is usually a collection of functions. Helpers are also considered a part of the core system; plugins are intended to be created and shared by our community.(from the user guide) Confusion regarding helper plugin and library - El Forum - 10-16-2010 [eluser]InsiteFX[/eluser] As of CodeIgniter 2.0 there will be no more Plugins!
