sharing library between Multiple Applications with one CodeIgniter Installation - kendysond - 09-04-2015
before version 3.0.0/3.0.1 i could share a library between all my "Multiple Applications with one CodeIgniter Installation", by putting the library file in the system/libraries folder, but with this new version update, i get the error
An Error Was Encountered
Non-existent class: CI_Formsclass
ps: formclass is the name of the library
please can anyone help me achieve this since the codeigniter team decided to remove the feature thank you.

Put the shared library here: https://github.com/ivantcholakov/starter-public-edition-4/tree/v4.0.65/platform/common/libraries

You shouldn't put anything in the `system` folders. Leave that for CodeIgniter otherwise your changes will get overwritten whenever you upgrade the CI core.
Instead, for common libraries, create a new folder, and add that folder as a Package in both of your applications. You can have this path autoloaded by adding it to the autoload.php config file. By default it will load APPPATH/third_party but you can always replace that if you don't use it.
Code:
$autoload['packages'] = array(FCPATH.'common');RE: sharing library between Multiple Applications with one CodeIgniter Installation - kendysond - 09-04-2015

It's always helpful to provide more details on exactly what you did that didn't work. Otherwise, we don't have any idea how to help you.
I just ran through the process and did the following:
- Created a new folder called "common" at the same level as the index file and application/system folders
- Created a new library at "/common/libraries/Tryme.php with a simple die('found it!') in the constructor to ensure the class was found and loaded.
- Added "FCPATH .'common' to the "config/autoload" setting for packages.
- Added "$this->load->library('tryme')" to the welcome controller.
When I visited the site, it died with the "Found it!" text on the screen as expected.
