Firefox Extension
Sometimes the simplest community contributions are the most useful. Released this month: the CodeIgniter Userguide Firefox Extension.
By adding a menu entry for the userguide into Firefox, it's basically a set of bookmarks to each section. Brilliantly simple, and effective.
What's more, there's a jQuery one too!
Excellent stuff.
Snippets for gEdit
As a result of moving some of the time over to develop using Ubuntu, and using gEdit a lot as a result, I have attempted to port the Intype snippets across to gEdit. Though not identical to the ones for Intype, they're pretty close and hopefully people will find them useful!
The original bundle available for Textmate / E-TextEditor is available from Start Up Web 2.0
How to install
- Download the CodeIgniter snippets XML file for gEdit
- Load gEdit and Install the gEdit Snippets plugin (from Edit - Preferences - Plugins)
- From the 'Tools' menu, choose 'Manage Snippets'
- Click the 'Import snippets' button, and choose the XML file you downloaded
- New entries should now be shown under the "PHP" heading as shown below:
- Close 'Manage Snippets
- To test: Open a php source file. Type: ciarg and press <tab>. You should be presented with the a snippets menu.
If for any reason you wanted to remove these snippets from gEdit, the file is held in ~/.gnome2/gedit/snippets

CodeIgniter 1.7.0 released
The latest version of CodeIgniter, has been announced by EllisLab.
This version includes the new Form Validation library as well as a load of other changes / fixes as detailed in the Change Log
The Style Guide has some good suggestions, some of which may go against your own writing style, but I'm all for an attempt at standards within CI! As a relative newcomer to CodeIgniter I'm still learning the ropes, but some element of 'best practice' to follow is very helpful!
I've had to go ahead and change the source code from my own applications but it has been quite a rewarding experience.
Intype Bundle for CodeIgniter 1.6.3 snippets
This is a direct conversion for use with Intype 0.3.1.734 of the CodeIgniter 1.6.3 bundle for Textmate.
I claim no responsibility for this great bundle other than converting it to work with Intype and re-creating the menu.
The original bundle available for Textmate / E-TextEditor is available from Start Up Web 2.0
How to install
- Download the bundle
- Extract the contents of the bundle to the following path, ensuring that 'keep folder names' (or similar) is checked:
(amend path to Intype if necessary)C:\Program Files\Intype\bundles
- Load Intype, and you should see a new entry under Bundles (CodeIgniter 1.6.3)
- To test: Open a php source file or switch language to PHP. Type: ciarw and press <tab>. You should be presented with the menu as shown in the image above.
