Fitting an established site into a CI framework
- by David
I manage a rather large, feature full nightmare of a site which has no end of feature creep settings/options/etc.
Up to now its been coded in a procedural/functional way and would like to move to an OO,MVC setup. I'm quite new to it all but have done alot of research and feel that CodeIgniter is a code choice of framework to use to help quicken the transfer. Before looking at a framework, I started constructing a list of objects to create classes out of:
photos
users
forum topics
forums
blogs
blog posts
comments
The trouble I have now, is I do understand where these generic/universal objects fall into the CI MVC setup. What is the best way to organise this kind of stuff? These classes can generally be used on multiple models/views/controllers.
