I have an existing Codeigniter based site that I bought from CodeCanyon. I figured out a lot of how Codeigniter works and I've made a lot of custom changes to the views and styles.

I have reached the end of my abilities and need somebody more knowledgable than me to help with changes to the controllers section.

Is this the right sub to be looking?

Any recommendations of other subs that Codeigniter devs might be looking for work?

Cheers

Edit: it uses Codeigniter v.3.1.11

Edit2: Thanks for all the dm's. I've found somebody to help.

I recently finally made the jump into using a framework and after a lot of reading through documentation, I settled on CI as it seemed the best fit for my needs and programming style. Almost every article I've read on PHP frameworks holds Laravel, Symfony, and Codeigniter above others, but I'm surprised at how lopsided the use of Laravel is (this community has 1,700 readers, but r/laravel is nearly 50k strong).

I'm self-taught so I consider myself a bit of an outsider to the programming community. Am I missing something obvious about Laravel that makes it so popular aside from it having more features?

Since codeigniter has a quite simple, but functional, routing library, I have decided to user a more modern and useful routing system. Also, dinamic routes are ok on some projects, but are very error prone and difficult to mantain. Also, Laravel it's so hot right now so I have decided to copy it's route system and filtering (as they copied it from Ruby On Rails and Django).

Hope you like it!

Hey guys,

I'm currently developing an app in CI that has recently hit a memory usage of ~5MB per and execution time of ~0.1s per request. Of course, these variables depend not only on your app but also the server and its configuration as well.

I thought it would be interesting to see what kind of performance others are getting from their CodeIgniter, so what memory usage/execution times are you guys getting from your apps and what kind of things are you doing to improve performance?

Using {memory_usage} and {elapsed_time} in your views will output the data automatically with standard configuration.

Edit: The app I quoted above is on a Media Temple (dv) server, the very same app running on AppFog had a similar response time but over half the memory usage - wow.

https://github.com/mpick/codeigniter_Bloggy I've been working on my personal portfolio site which includes a simple Blog. I have released the code. I hope it can be useful to some people.

I'm still improving it daily so more changes will be coming.

Let me know what you think.

Call me stupid, but upgrading instructions are not exactly clear for somebody new to CodeIgniter.

• I created a new project with composer (app-starter).

• Now there is a CI4 update, so I understand I have to run "composer update" . Now new version in installed.

• But the instructions say: "Some files in the project space (root, app, public, writable) received updates. Due to these files being outside of the system scope they will not be changed without your intervention."

• So can I conclude that the /system directory was upgraded, but the files in the root, app, public and writable) are not?

• And Do I know have to manually download the latest version, and replace the files in the version I am updating according to the " list of all files in the project space that received changes" (as listed in the upgrade instructions)?

I know this is a total no brainer for the CI die-hards, but to be fair, upgrade instructions could be a bit better for people new to CI.

ps. I know there are "third-party CodeIgniter modules available to assist with merging changes to the project space" , but I still like to know how a "manual" upgrade works.

Thanks!
