CI3 CI_Controller extending - pingwin - 04-16-2015 Hi! I would like to create an Api controller extending the basic CI_Controller. After that I could extend API_Controller to create separate API controllers like users api etc. I've just read some solutions for older version but that looks strange for my. For example adding __autoload function to the config.php. I tried to put MY_Api.php into application/core folder and it doesn't work. Thanks for the help! RE: CI3 CI_Controller extending - InsiteFX - 04-16-2015 You can name the controller class anything you want, but when saved it has to be saved as MY_Controller in ./application/core RE: CI3 CI_Controller extending - alenn - 04-16-2015 You can change the prefix of the file name too, that can be done in ./application/config.php. So you could save PINGWIN_Controller.php in ./application/core. RE: CI3 CI_Controller extending - Hobbes - 04-17-2015 one thing you can do to achieve this is something like this: in: application/core create: MY_Controller.php in: application/core create: Api_controller.php in: MY_Controller.php your code could look like this: PHP Code: <?php if ( ! defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed'); this way your Api_controller class will be autoloaded with MY_Controller allowing you to extend it in application/controllers just like MY_Controller. |
