Admin Section

[eluser]NateL[/eluser]
My little app will have pretty much 2 user roles. Admin, and viewer.

I have the set up laid out properly, I think..this is sort of a shopping cart (but without the checkout abilities)

example.com/available (CI root...this is what the public sees. )

example.com/available/admin (this is where the admin goes to log in)

example.com/available/admin/animal/edit/5 (controller/function/id)
example.com/available/admin/animal/add
example.com/available/admin/animal/delete/5

and so on...

so, would I create an admin folder inside my controllers? and then create a NEW controller called 'animal_admin', and then would that file simply extend what is already there? for example:

Code:

class Animal_admin extends Animal(){
// admin functions go here
}

it would be structured like so:
/controllers/animal.php
/controllers/admin/animal_admin.php

Thanks for any tips or advice

I have my admin pages in folders and I just extend the class from the main controller. I don't think there is any point in extending another one of your controllers unless you plan on using functionality from that controller.
