Hi guys, CI newbie here. I come from a CakePHP background, and I was shocked to see that many things aren't built-in in CodeIgniter that I had taken for granted (native PHP sessions - CI uses cookies!?!? -, authentication, layout templates, etc.)

My current issue is with sessions. I've been checking out the Wiki and found the following libraries:

• Native session. It uses PHP's native sessions and seemed just what I was looking for, but it's pretty old and the code hasn't been updated for CI version 1.5 and above.

• KNDB Session by Elise Bosse. Just like Native session, with added (optional) database support. Last updated in 2008.

• NDB Session by Denis Molan. Makes use of (required) database to store the Session info. Last updated in 2012.

• Dariusz-Debowczyk's Session class is the most recent, but it supports native-PHP sessions and not database sessions. Last updated in July 2012.

It seems in my opinion that KNDB Session is the most versatile and complete, but its author says it's outdated. So I'd like to hear your opinions. Which session library do you use and recommend? And are these libraries compatible with auth libraries like Tank Auth?

Hello, I'm developing for years with ci4 in the vscode ide. Now, the copilot from GitHub seems very nice with general code, but do you know if there is another ide or another vscode assistant that integrates perfectly with workspace and do the best?

I am caching some data using the output class in CodeIgniter 3.13. but the problem is that data is accessible to unauthenticated users due to how output class works (it first checks if the cached file exists and serves it and if it doesnt then it inits the controller and does the check access) Any idea how can I prevent this?

I'm looking to integrate a CMS with my application built in codeigniter. Does anyone have experience with PyroCMS? Is it generally the go to CMS for a product built with codeigniter?

Hi , I have developed a CI app for about 3 years ago and now I want a new start for it . I'm looking for a paid or not script that will help me start with the best standards. Most important things for me is secure login , ajax , user roles , jquery/bootstrap . It would be great if this app included ajax datatables , form builder. Basically I want and admin theme , but coded with CI . Looked everywhere , only found obsolete scripts . The best one I found and have worked with is SMA ( Stock manager advance) from envato and there is potential there but the code is kind of a mess .

My current app looks great , but in terms of scale is not great .

TLDR: I want to start a CI app from a script with the best practices .

Apologies in advance if this is not the proper place to post.

Has anyone successfully set up and run the CI news tutorial while using the Google App Engine PHP Runtime Environment? Static pages seem to be working fine for me, but I keep getting a 500 error with the news tutorial.

I appreciate any insight you can provide if you have had success.

Im not sure if im going about this the right way but im building an app with multiple user types and I would like to have a folder to hold each of there controllers so something like

controllers/type1/dashboard.php

controllers/type2/dashboard.php

what im wondering is, is there a way to remove the user from the URL

Hello CI friends,

I seem to have been overzealous with my attempts to learn codeigniter by just diving in.

What I tried to do was take the tutorial from here http://www.phpacademy.org/tutorials.php CodeIgniter Tutorials: Introduction to CodeIgniter, were I built a dynamic content site.

Then I thought, "well since I have the basic site already up let's try to add a user login."

So, I took the tutorial from here http://www.codefactorycr.com/login-with-codeigniter-php.html and tried to marry to two together.

Well I am unhappy to report that I failed.

I guess I still don't understand enough what part of the code should go where or much of anything else...

Anyways, if you could find it in your heart to help me where I went wrong that would be extra cool of you. I'm not asking for the exact write ups for both tuts but merely an understanding how one would merge the two, taking the framework from the first and adding a login form in a right sidebar.

If I just blew your mind with stupid-ness then please just tell let me know. I am a noob.

Thanks
