Multiple Application

[eluser]CroNiX[/eluser]
Just creating a backoffice directory in the /application/controllers directory makes this stuff so much easier than all of that. Is there a reason why you actually need 2 separate applications? If they were unrelated it would make sense to me, but it seems your backend deals directly with the frontend (as most do), so they are directly related and not really separate applications.

I'd also read Phils article on creating separate front and back end base controllers.
