What is the right way to load own helpers - El Forum - 07-17-2011
[eluser]Unknown[/eluser]
I am new in codeigniter. using version 2.0.2
I am trying to load my own helper file from application/helpers folder.
but codeigniter show me error : Unable to load the requested file: helpers/common_helper.php
after some debugging i found that the loader class is looking for that file first in
application/helpers folder if it exists then system/helpers folder. but there is not such file so it generating the error.
i made some change in the loader file as following :
Code:
/*Original code Line No 759 */
if ( ! file_exists($baseclass))
{
log_message('error', "Unable to load the requested class: ".$class);
show_error("Unable to load the requested class: ".$class);
}change to:
moving the include statement from line 785 in this condition.
Code:
if ( file_exists($baseclass))
{
include_once($baseclass);
}now it working fine with me.
is it OK? i don't know.
can any one help me please.
thanks in advance

You likely named your helper file incorrectly. CodeIgniter looks for a specific structure when it comes to the file name. In your case, it is looking for the file "common_helper.php" in the "application/helpers/" folder. If you rename your file to that, everything will work fine. There is zero need to modify the Loader library.
