Multiple applications with shared libraries on v3.x - yodapt - 04-14-2015
Hi,
I am not new to CI development but it's been some 5 years since I last worked with it.
While developing a website I though about using the same libraries (system) in 2 applications, the frontend and admin of the website, and was wondering what would be the best approach to do so, if I just need to rename the paths in the index or something else I should be wary of.
Thanks in advance.

You might look into CI packages. http://www.codeigniter.com/user_guide/libraries/loader.html?highlight=packages#application-packages

Oh, sorry just saw the "system" libraries.... Yeah just install /system wherever you want and just tell $system_path in index.php where it is.

Like CroNix said, just change your $system_path in index.php will do.

I met similar situation and after some years I have worked out my own practice to include both frontend and admin panel within single CI application.
You may have a look on my repositories to give you some inspiration:

https://github.com/waifung0207/ci_bootstrap_3 (for CI3, single application folder with shared classes / config files, but currently work-in-progress)
