Separating front-end and back-end using codeigniter

[jwausi]

Hi,
Am developing my website using codeigniter and got stuck when i tried to make the backend. Am using CMS backend that comes with its own folder with everything (.htaccess, its own MVC etc) so I put all my frontend folders into one folder called frontend withinn the application folder but now I cannt view my frontend pages. I get this: The configuration file does not exist. Please help me.
My directory looks like so (find attached)

Hi!

Check the documentation:

• http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-guide/general/managing_apps.html

In particular:

Note: Each of your applications will need its own index.php file which calls the desired application. The index.php file can be named anything you want.

So, in the main index.php file change the application path, i.e. change this:

$application_folder = 'application';

To:

$application_folder = 'application/frontend';

For the admin application create a directory, let's say backend, put a copy of the index.php file there and make it point to the admin app, so:

$application_folder = 'application/admin';

To complete the operation put a copy of the .htaccess file inside the backend directory and change it to use this directory as base of the rewrites:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|robots\.txt)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /backend/index.php/$1 [L]

Now, when you want to access the admin panel go to http://localhost/backend/ and everything should work fine.

Try this https://github.com/rusuandreirobert/codeigniter-startup

It uses HMVC.

Basically HMVC gives you a structure rather the normal one in codeigniter.

CI has controller/action .
HMVC CI has module/controller/action .

And in HMVC you'll have admin & front :).

You can read more about HMVC here : https://bitbucket.org/wiredesignz/codeigniter-modular-extensions-hmvc
