Codeigniter 2.0?

[eluser]Ludwig Mair[/eluser]
Hi,

i just think about to use Codeigniter 1.7.2 for a bigger Project. I notice that there is discussed in some blogs the Codeigniter 2.0.

My concern is now, if i start with my project now with the currrent Version, perhaps i am not able to update it anymore to Codeigniter 2.0 without a lot of changes and trouble.

Any ideas to this?

THanks

Ludwig

Converting was pretty simple for me. I have a project just finishing up. I started with 1.7.2 and switched to 2.0. Basically did a find & replace for extends Model with extends CI_Model. Moved any of the core classes I extended from /application/libraries to /application/core. I wasn't using plugins, so it took me about 10mins or so to try each controller to make sure everything was loading correctly. Everything worked as expected.

There is a nice write up at [url="http://www.philsturgeon.co.uk/news/2010/05/upgrading-to-codeigniter-2.0"]Phil Sturgeon's blog[/url].

Hi Phil,

first, thanks for your quick reply.
what you tell me sounds really positiv. Then, i guess will start with Codeigniter 2.0 instead of 1.7.2

Thanks a lot

I am not Phil, just a fan of his. He's got some great code and ramblings on his blog. Good luck with 2.0, it's running nicely for me.

And EllisLabs is apparently using CI 2.0 in its products (ExpressionEngine, et al). It's reasonably safe to go with 2.0 now although EllisLabs has stated that it is not 100% locked down.

[eluser]Derek Allard[/eluser]
Yup. I'd recommend starting from CI2 codebase at this point. Its true that it isn't 100% locked down, but you can be fairly sure that nothing that is in there will break.

Hi there,

after all the positiv comments i am certain to start with CI2.0.


Thanks a lot

Hi guys,

Many recomends switch to CI 2.0, but... why?? there's new features that 1.7.2 don't have?? im trying to see in http://bitbucket.org/ellislab/codeigniter/ what new features or like have the 2.0 version, but I dont see nothing new... any page with the differences?

thanks! =)

In the Changelog maybe?

Also Phil Sturgeon wrote a blog on updating to 2.0 and Elliot Haughin has a blogpost on it too.
