I am building a site that will (obvisouly) have a front end public portion that I want to drive with Concrete5, but then it will also have a members section that I would like to build with Code Igniter.
Does anyone have any idea how I could do that?
I guess I could just throw the Code Igniter code into a sub directory, but would I run into any issues with that?
i can't see why not.
As you suggested a separate folder on the site would be one solution. (you might have to tweak the .htaccess file (if you are using one) to ignore the other cms/framework
Another solution would be to have separate subdomains, eg example.com and members.example.com
I ended up using a sub directory for Code Igniter. I had to change the .htaccess file and Mod_Rewrite rules for apache in order for the Code Igniter "pretty" URLs to work correctly.
I will post the code later if I remember.
I have the same question... any chance you can post how you set it up
The answer, since the OP hasn't posted it, is to change the .htaccess rule:
RewriteBase /
to:
RewriteBase /foo/
where foo is your subdirectory that the index.php and CI reside. This .htaccess should also be in the same folder as the CI index.php. Works like a charm. Also don't forget to add the subdirectory to the base_url config setting.
