I wish more attention would return to Kohana (kohanaframework.org), which is basically CodeIgniter done better by a community of coders, except the documentation for 3.x is sparse and IMO certain things in 2.x were better.
This idea for CI is nice, but the video reminded me of one of the more annoying parts of CI: $this->load->whatever()ing everything, which should be rightfully obsoleted for everybody running PHP5 as it is in Kohana, because PHP can autoload classes with your own custom __autoload() function. It's wasted effort to manually load everything and the collisions created in the local namespace are intolerable.
- pan69 16y agoKohana 3.x has nothing to do with the Codeigniter framework. Even Kohana 2.x was a complete rewrite from Codeigniter. Kohana is indeed a much modern PHP MVC framework. It supports a cascading file-system and HMVC out of the box. There is a lack a polished documentation but I've been working with Kohana 3.x since it's release and the documentation hasn't been much of an issue. However, if you're new to MVC and/or programming Codeigniter might be a better choice. Concerning the post. I'm not sure how useful this is. The amount of time you spend installing modules/plugins is disproportional to the amount of time you spend on building your site. Normally you end up using a handful of modules over and over again anyway.
