Global Libraries

[eluser]pwfraley[/eluser]
Hi all,

I have a question about developing global Libraries.

I have setup Codigniter with a global CI Installation and have virtual hosts with applications that use the global CI Installation.

Now I have created a Library that is used in all of the Applications. I put this Library in each of the application/libraries folders. Now when I make a change to the library I have to copy it too all the applications. I guess I could use links and link it to all applications, but when I install the apps on a hosting provider I do not have the possibility to create links.

Is it possible to put my library into the system/libraries folder? What do I have to look out for? Should I name my class CI_Mserver instead of Mserver?

Also what if I have a base Application with Base Models and Base Controllers and I want to extend those? Can I somehow create a Baseapp, which I can inherit from in Sub Applications?

Thanx for any ansers

Well I spent an hour now reading thru the posts, as far as I understood:

1. I can put my own Library in the system/libraries Folder, but I have to name it MY_Mserver (is that correct)?

2. I still have not found an answer to the model and controller question I posted up there. Can I create a model and a controller folder in the system folder and then use those files as bases for my apps?

Can anyone answer those questions?

You can put the library in the system folder as CI does a search of each of the library folders to find your function. You only have to rename it with a "MY_" if it is extending an existing CI library. Ive never used Mserver so I dont know if thats your or CI's ...
With Models and Contrllers I belive you should be able to put them in the main system and then in the applications you should be able to extend them using the MY_ and referencing/ instantiating it as the base class.

Hope this helps..

Thanks. I tried to put it in system library folder and it worked. MServer is my own class it connects to a calculation/statistics server. I use that to get live data from it to display in my app.

I will try the same with the controller and model this evening, but it seems like it should work ...

Again thanks for the reply
