Codeigniter with wordpress - El Forum - 08-14-2012

Hi all,
Ive searched the forum and found some answers to this issue but trying to provide more specific info to potentially get some help
Im trying to set up a Codeigniter application with a Wordpress instill located in a subfolder
ie:
www (Codeigniter App)
-/blog (WP install in sub dir)
Ideally we want to have CI handle login and register (and user profiles) due to a number of specific business rules - this is all done already using Ion Auth
Then we'd like some specific published pages/content to come out of Wordpress - I have the WP JSON plugin installed but ideally I want to just use WP
The main question I have is how do I keep a user logged in when switching between both platforms - I dont know too much about CI or PHP sessions so any help on how to access them from within Wordpress would be helpful
ie: if user is logged in - show links in the header to their profile and show their username in WP - if not, links to our Ion Auth sign up page (in CI of course)
Cheers and thanks

Ive been able to Google this post about doing it
http://www.indevcenter.com/2012/06/23/accessing-codeigniter-session-wordpress/#more-201
My question would be - do I drop the code suggested in the post into one of my WP theme PHP files? (basically like a CI view file)
Ive tried doing that and printing and echoing and getting no results
print_r($data);
or
print_r($_SESSION);
Cheers

So Ive also discovered that Ion Auth handles some user info I need to access
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9088008/codeigniter-ion-auth-trying-to-get-the-user-name-of-a-logged-in-user-in-to-a-str
So I guess the question is how do I access this session info from Ion Auth within a Wordpress install setup like Ive outlined about in my original question?
Thanks

So Ive been able to get things working - I've just lost access to Wordpress's admin using this code below

But I'll keep trying to figure this out for anyone else.

Hey,
Nice sources, thanks for sharing... Once I managed to get the integration working the other way around, enablig CodeIgniter to use WP functions. In my case WP managed the users. If you want to take a look, my 'experiments' are online:
