+--- Thread: creating an admin folder (/showthread.php?tid=39044)
creating an admin folder - El Forum - 02-27-2011

My website (like most websites) consists of two parts:
Frontend and Backend.
Now the backend has MANY controllers, models, etc. and the frontend also has its share of the same.
I would like to separate the backend so that it places it and all its files under:
www.mywebsite.com/admin
while the frontend stays www.mywebsite.com
How can I do this? without having a controller called "admin" with EVERYTHING inside that?

Create a folder named admin in your controllers directory.
controllers/welcome.php
controllers/admin/welcome.php
Both front- and back-end of your application should share the models - much more easy to maintain.

I like the approach with modules best, and this is how I use it most of the times. Basically it's very similar to this article:
