ExpressionEngine Bootstrap

Bootstrap your EE environment anywhere you want. Can be useful when you need to run a cronjob or - like me - need to combine both ZendFramework and ExpressionEngine in one project.

Also includes a handy EE template parser.

Example of using the EE super global in a part ZendFramework 1.x, part ExpressionEngine 2.x environment.

<?php
$system_path = APPLICATION_PATH . '/../ee2';
include(APPLICATION_PATH . '/bootstrap-ee2.php');

$EE = get_instance();

if (!isset($EE->session->userdata) || $EE->session->userdata['can_access_cp'] != 'y') {
    $this->_response->setRedirect('/');
}

if (isset($EE->session->userdata['screen_name'])) {
    $this->view->loggedInUsername = $EE->session->userdata['screen_name'];
}

Example of using the template parser. Documentation provided in file.

<?php
 $system_path = APPLICATION_PATH . '/../ee2';
 include(APPLICATION_PATH . '/bootstrap-ee2.php');
 echo parse_template('includes', 'header');
