Anybody has some material on “Add-on development with Codeigniter” by Adam Fairholm ?

EDIT: finally I solved it , made a simple plugin system for my cms

Hi there,

I am also trying to figure out how to make a simple plugin system for an application I am writing.

Are you willing to share your code? Does anyone else have a good plugin system?

Thanks,

Tim

Hi,

I used this library to build my simple plugin:
https://github.com/bl00dshooter/Plugin-Codeigniter-Library

You can grab from the example how it works..

But if not, how it works for me, in short?

If a plugin is enabled, register an event, then trigger it in a special place in you code. Event is a function in your plugin’s code.

I’ve made a config file, with plugin name, desc, version, position (left), and an array of parameters - info, the controller reads this into the DB, and stores.
On an admin page you can enable/disable the plugins.
In your left colunm view you trigger the ‘left’ event, so the enabled plugins, and where positions set to left will show up in your left column.

I wrote a plugin system myself for Codeigniter. I based it on how Wordpress’s plugin system works. It might require some tweaks to accommodate peoples tastes, but it works and I use it in all of my personal projects.

Great library! Can you tell me how could you implement the following simple plugin task: i have a twitter plugin, that outputs 5 twitter feeds. Switching on/off the plugin on frontend works.
1. How do you skin the plugin with css, where do you place the css?
2. How do you handle on an admin page the feed’s username, and count? How do you validate the input fields in the plugin system? (Of course I dont ask about CI form validation..).

Is it a solution to split a plugin to frontend and backend part, what do you mean?
Thanks 😊
