use modules in the application folder

Hi

I'm new with code igniter, but I have a question about modules. I used Zend Framework and their you could set a module structure. For example, my application structure:

http://www.pastebin.be/3404

url example: http://www.mywebsite.com/forum/topic/view/325

forum = module
topic = controller
view = action

Can I create this structure in code igniter and how do I set the controller to this structure?

Thanks

yes you can do, create a folder called forum in the controllers directory then create a new controller called topic in controllers/forum directory, and define a function in the topic contoller called view and than write whatever you want into view function.

I'm gonna test that Gurkan OLUC, but do I have to change the $application_folder in the index.php?

[eluser]Gurkan OLUC[/eluser]
no, it is not reqired you don't have to change anything in config files

[eluser]stijn1989[/eluser]
ok thanks, but do I have to do the same thing for the models and views?

to bundle the controller/modules/views of your 'module'
you need to use modular separation

now you can have a structure like this:

application/modules/your_modulename/controllers
application/modules/your_modulename/models
application/modules/your_modulename/views

application/modules/your_modulename2/controllers
application/modules/your_modulename2/models
application/modules/your_modulename2/views

and you can call this then with: index.php/your_modulename/controller

now you can just copy your module to another location (CI installation)
with the normal CI installation you have to copy files in 3 different folders and that makes you crazy after a while
I hope this helps..
