CI's next release estimate? / CI Praise - El Forum - 01-10-2008

Code Igniter is the best thing ever! Btw I can't connect to the SVN, I followed Derek's easy tutorial but Tortoise asks for authorisation... :|
I created a folder, done import, place the url in and after connecting it asks for username + password, I got really excited when I heared about the Repository!
Edit: fixed!
I fiddled around a little and managed to in... I'm off to explore!!

If you like CI and want PHP5, there is always Kohana.
Am I going to get slapped on the wrist for typing that here?

hi guys,
i thought the will come some official orm stuff in the next release.
@tilzinger: yeah, kohana is a nice project but still very 'alpha' (thats just my personal feeling). the lack of documentation is the thing with really needs to push some steps further to get on a stage with codeigniter. and there are also a lot of libraries around ci with are still missing in kohana (don't have the time to convert all the stuff for myself).
kohana seems very promising - but needs just a little bit more time.
... just my opinion

yup kohana guys are good guys, but their goals are different then ours. I'd prefer you kept kohana discussion on their boards though.
@darksky()... glad you got the SVN up and running.
@all: I'd like to highlight the SVN more for new users... right now its just a 1 sentence note on the bottom of a userguide page that most people don't ever need to read. I'd love to hear thoughts on ways we could highlight it more.

how about a link on the codeigniter home page? :-) right next to the Bug Tracker link?

Thanks for your blog i looked the SVN really carefully and now i am already using it. For me, as a beginner with versioning, it was helpful. But i also would like to link out Single-User [email protected], it helped me to understand the basics about importing and differences of trunk and working directory.

This is helpful. I have been developing a project, and debating weather to stick with CI, or move to another framework, as I haven't heard much about the lasting support from the CI dev team. Reading this is reassuring to the fact that it will continue to be developed and maintained.
Thanks guys!

By the way here's a little trivia: I am a solid CI fan but somehow I sort of evaluated other frameworks during the past months including the Zend framework recently. It was good, however I still ended up saying: CI has all that I need and I love the way CI does it
For example in the Zend framework, you need to access $_GET elements using name/value pairs like
example.com/controller/action/name/value/name/value/name/value which has a potential to make the URL too long. In Codeigniter you don't need that name element anymore, just value! example.com/controller/action/value/value/value

If I have my information correct, Zend Framework is planning a semi-major release in the next couple of months (1.5). It will contain a bunch of bug fixes and loads of new functionality - including CLI support and build tools. There is also a neat little proposal for handling Ajax in the works, but I don't know if that is going to make it into 1.5. You may want to look at the roadmap and make a decision based on that. Also, you can easily build your own router (you can actually build multiple routers) with ZF, so I wouldn't be too concerned with the format of the URL. At this point in time, CI is much more friendly out of the box. However, I have found that if you really dig into the ZF it becomes very easy to work with and is quite robust.

Yeah I know that Zend is very much customizable but having it customized to my preference defeats the "rapid" that I am already getting from CI. Right now, developing applications faster than usual is my main concern for choosing a framework because after all it's the main point of having a framework otherwise I could just create one for my own (which I already did but it just requires a lifetime to perfect it all by myself

You could also try integrating ZF with CI to utilize some of the powerful ZF libraries while still benefiting from the structure and workflow of CI. There are quite a few integration methods on these forums, wiki and on the web. This method looks very interesting.
