Site Name Function

[eluser]lszanto[/eluser]
I know this is a simple function but I just thought it could be useful for people to have a global site name e.g My Site and just to add on a string e.g - Home so when calling the function site_name() you can retrieve My Site - Home. The code to add this is below and the url helper is required.

Insert Into /system/applaction/config/config.php

Code:

/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Site Name
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| The full name of your website to implement in your pages.
|
|    My Site
|
*/
$config['site_name'] = "My Site";

Obviously replace the site name with your own site name.

And Insert this into /system/helpers/url_helper.php

Code:

// ------------------------------------------------------------------------

/**
* Site Name
*
* Returns the "site_name" item from your config file
*
* @access    public
* @return    string
*/    
function site_name()
{
    $CI =& get_instance();
    return $CI->config->item('site_name');
}

Hopefully this has helped and is useful to you if not sorry for wasting your time

No, this is great. In fact, CI supports the creation of custom config files if you need it, and I use this on nearly every project.
