[b]Q. When is the next version of Code Igniter coming out? What can I expect from the next version of Code Igniter?[/b]
A. Code Igniter is a product of EllisLab. New releases and new features in the framework are made available when it is possible to release them, and may always be a surprise: [url]http://codeigniter.com/forums/viewthread/53619/P15/#262381[/url]
[b]Q. I've got cool new code for CI. What is the process for getting it included in the official CI distribution?[/b]
A. New code is welcome, but not all code can be included. To maximize the chances of your code making it into CI, test (PHP 4 and 5) and document the code. All decisions about incorporating it fall to EllisLab. Basically, if you want to satisfy your lust for abiding fame you have to make an effort to promulgate your code to as many CI developers as possible who put it through an informal 'vetting' process. As part of this process you should create a 'manual page' to help people learn.
[b]Q. How do I embed views within views? Nested templates? Header, Main, Footer (Blocks) design? Partials? Page Fragments? Ruby on Rails style Yield functionality?[/b]
A. There are several approaches to this design problem. Coolfactor's View Library is one. [url]http://codeigniter.com/forums/viewthread/49910/[/url] Another place to get advice if you don't want to add a new library is Rick Ellis' original thread on the subject (Embedding Views within Views). [url]http://codeigniter.com/forums/viewthread/44916/[/url] Also, teamhurting has implemented a Ruby On Rails style Yield approach that uses CI's hooks system: [url=http://codeigniter.com/forums/viewthread/57902/]Yield using hooks - http://codeigniter.com/forums/viewthread/57902/[/url] Another similar approach using a basic class rather than a class as a hook: [url=http://codeigniter.com/wiki/layout_library/]http://codeigniter.com/wiki/layout_library/[/url] A thread where esra lists a few threads on this topic: [url=http://codeigniter.com/forums/viewthread/57965/]http://codeigniter.com/forums/viewthread/57965/[/url]
[b]Q. Why doesn't Code Igniter support table prefixes in JOIN statements?[/b]
A. Because it doesn't work. Use table aliases instead. [url]http://codeigniter.com/forums/viewthread/48161/[/url]
