Put Extensions into a folder ?

[eluser]MartinF[/eluser]
Hello,

is there any way i can put all my extensions of the system/libraries/ in a folder inside the application/libraries/ folder ?

For example I would like my MY_Form_validation extension to go into application/libraries/extensions/
instead of the root of the /libraries/ folder.

I would also like to get rid of the MY_ prefix, but changing the "subclass_prefix" to an empty string does not seem to work.

It does not work to put the folder name in front of the extensions it seems.


Best regards

Martin

Why you need to put it into subfolder? I mean, what for? I think 'libraries' folder is the best place for any library class file!

If you want to modify 'MY_' prefix, look at config.php under 'config' folder, find and replace this line

Code:

/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Class Extension Prefix
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| This item allows you to set the filename/classname prefix when extending
| native libraries.  For more information please see the user guide:

|
*/
//$config['subclass_prefix'] = 'MY_';
$config['subclass_prefix'] = 'EXTENSION_';

Hello,

thanks for the answer.
I know how to change the subclass_prefix as i also mention in my post.

The reason why i want to put them in a folder is because i will have a lot of other Libraries and i dont want to mess it all up.

It would be nice to keep everything separated.

But i think i have come to the conclusion that I will just put all my own libraries in a subfolder and let the extensions of the system/libraries/ go into the root of application/libraries/.

If you use some prefix, lets say 'MY_', then in your directory structure, they already (automaticly) grouped right?

Code:

application - conrollers
              ...
              libraries - Awesomelib.php
                          Coollib.php
                          MY_Session.php
                          MY_Form_validation.php
                          MY_...php
                          Somelibrary.php
                          Xxxlib.php
                          
system      - ...
index.php
.htaccess

Yeah,

but if you have +30 php files it is a mess.

But after putting all my own libraries into folders, it is okay.
Now only the system/libraries extensions are in the root.
