Code Igniter 1.5 released

Hot on the heels of Firefox2, another magnificent piece of software has been released. Code Igniter 1.5 is out and now available for download!

It contains loads of new improvements and enhancements including database caching, a table class, an FTP library, and download helpers. Even implemented are versions of a list helper, and table->clear()!

I’ve started a folding team for Code Igniter, and put up a quick team page.

Unusual fortune cookie

Those of you who know me know that I spend a lot of time teaching. I've even won a few pretty nice teaching awards for it (other award was at Seneca College). So I was very surprised to hear what my students really thought of me!

Your students secretly agree that your head is too small for your body.

Now I have a complex!

Code Igniter Spanish Language Translastions

One of the great things about Code Igniter is the community that has built up around it. They write plugins, offer enhancements, and welcome new users openly in the forums. One of the interesting things the community has done is write many language translations for the framework. ReynierPM has written spanish language translations, which I’ve offered to host for him here on derekallard.com.

list helper extension for Code Ingiter

I was surprised that there weren’t list helper functions in the html helper, so I wrote one. Below is a list helper for the html helper to generate ordered and unordered lists from an array.
