Rails-like Generator Script

[eluser]kilishan[/eluser]
Version 0.2 of the CI Tools library has been released. You can grab it at: http://ci-tools.googlecode.com.

This release integrates the scripts with CodeIgniter itself, so that all of the CodeIgniter libraries can be used within your own generators. It also allows direct access to all of the apps config settings (like database settings, etc). Actually, it uses a new frontend script that runs your app just like it would from a browser, except by using the command line, so you could use the cli.php script to run cron jobs off of.

This also means that it is theoretically possible to run the scripts through the browser now, though that functionality has not been fully tested yet.

Note that the generators themselves have not been updated, except as needed to function within the new environment. I've got one or two items I want to get into the library before working on the generators themselves. (See the roadmap above).

I've also started putting up documentation at the googlecode pages.

I've noticed a fair number of downloads but very little comments here. I hope that doesn't mean it wasn't working for you. If that's the case, hopefully the new release fixes that (as a number of small bugs were squashed) and the new docs should help everyone out.

If you're having other problems with it, though, please let me know.
