I was reading the expression engine documention and its just brillantly contructed but what kinds of things can codeigniter do for expression engine that expression engine can’t do by it’s self?

I know EE is easier but how do you hook them both together? Can you make a template in EE which is really a CI controller and you can use CI generated variablea and then load that information into EE templates which get load buy calling them as veiws in a CI controller

Like embedding Codeigniter in Expression Engine Is this done out there or do you just use EE and not CI or vice versa and never combine the two? And if you do hook them up together Why?

Currently it isn’t easily doable to run both CI and EE together, but as they begin sharing more and more code the bridge will get better and better.

In the future, I can see the interoperability between the two really working out well (I imagine it will get much easier to develop extensions/plugins for EE). As of now, the mixing of the two isn’t as graceful as one would like but there are way to get around it. You could review EE’s developer guidelines and just work on an extension/plugin.
