My question is, how long do you think it will take to transition to this framework if I have a good grasp on CodeIgnitor? I don't want to be ov...
I've installed the FreakAuth Lite library for CodeIgniter (http://www.4webby.com/freakauth/). Everything is working nicely (logging in/out), but I have one problem.
