Error in docs?

This is my current setup which is working

"MY_Controller" (changed prefix) in my libraries dir:

Code:

class Base_Controller extends Controller
{
    function __construct()
    {
        parent::__construct();
    }
}

Normal controller in my controllers dir:

Code:

class Home extends Base_Controller
{
    function index()
    {
        
    }
}

But from the docs I was lead to believe my first controller should extend "CI_Controller" but if I tried that I got an error (saying CI_Controller did not exist) so had to just extend "Controller".

That is because the Controller class has no CI_ prefix in its name.

I agree it's a little confusing but since you are extending base CI classes, I think it's expected of you to look in the class you're extending and find out its exact name, in this case, Controller.
