transform library from app to CI

[eluser]Marc Arbour[/eluser]
Hi.

This may already have been addressed, but I don't know what to search for.

How can I transform a library that resides in the application subfolder to make it reside in the main CI library folder?

Any pointers will be appreciated.

"Move it", is probably not the answer you're looking for.

Just to double check what you're trying to do. You want to move a library from system/application/libraries/ to system/libraries?

Sorry what are you trying to do?

The system/libraries folder is reserved for built in libraries. You should not place your scripts in there because if you ever upgrade your CI it would be erased.

Hi, moving will do?

As far as my library is concerned, it doesn't overwrite any original CI files so I think it would be safe to use system/libraries instead of /system/application/libraries... Right?

Yep, the loader checks both directories.

It's perfectly safe to use, the only caveat is upgrading, as louis w mentioned. However, using the system folder can be convenient if you're running multiple related apps on that core install.
Bottom line: Experiment, it's a great way to learn what works best for you. If it doesn't pan out in the long run you can always move it back.
