An installer for what?

[eluser]Phil Sturgeon[/eluser]
There is nothing much to install. Their is no standard database tables and the config settings you need to edit yourself.

I have an installer that gives a basic PHP/HTML input forms to create main and database config (made by MrEniro for my CMS) but I doubt we really need one for general CI setup.

The only reason I can see a CI installer is if there were some major packages out there.
Meaning a user could setup a forum, blog, user profiles, authentication by just dropping all the packages in the ci folder uploading to their server and running the install script to setup all of these packages.

Once I develop my suite of scripts I will be setting up a dynamic installer that will detect module packages and
read their install scripts! (You would select what packages to install during the setup)

But really look at it here, most of the people using this directly from CI are developers and shouldn't need an installer to do this basic setup. (change config.php, database.php, autoload.php, index.php, upload session db tables if needed) that's it really...

(trust me i know what files to edit lol Ive done maybe 10 installs in a day before because i kept screwing something up once I was doing some advanced configurations

I have been following the matchbox discussion on the forum and somebody suggested a module installer.You can see modules at work here http://www.phpizabi.net/?L=downloads.downloadxtra

I thought it would be very helpful if a module was made such that you only need to insert the module and fire it up in your browser as it is the case with phpzabi.

I was impressed with the CodeExtinguisher Installer. It has an easy setup and recognition for databases.
 
Maybe the guy should consider marketing a custom installer.

Developers basically don't need an installer, but it's aimed for end-users and here's an implementation of basic installer for codeigniter applications:
