Frontend and Backend (Base controllers)

[eluser]xerobytez[/eluser]
I think there was a mix up in terminology as well, when reading at first I got the same impression that Aken got which was you were trying to extend controllers from libraries which is no good obviously. Anyway, that autoload snippet doesn't help by loading base controllers from /libraries. I use a similar function when I want to have admin_controller or frontend_controller or whatever, this one is by Phil Sturgeon and is also placed in config.php. However it loads controllers from the /application/core directory which I think is better personally.

Code:

function __autoload($class)
{
if(strpos($class, 'CI_') !== 0)
{
  @include_once( APPPATH . 'core/'. $class . EXT );
}
}

Good luck with your project.
