CI User Badges

Hello CI community. 
I would love to be able to contribute to the CI core development but I'm not as good as I need to be, so in my MCGA (make the community great again) quest, I decided to create some CI resources to show 1) even more stuff is actively going on with CI and 2) help promote the use of CI as much as I can. 
The first part of this effort is the CI user badges which I think are a cool fun way to show your CI pride. Visit  https://ci-badges.supertechman.com/ get your badge, display it on your socials and tell everyone (I just started, so there are a lot of low numbers to claim - I'm number 1, LOL). 
Feel free to connect on GH or X to help me make this better. Other things to come. 
I will post this exact message in all other places I know CI users congregate.
Cheers,
Rui

Load Custom Helper Only in Specific Controllers?

Hi everyone,
I’m working on a CodeIgniter 4 project and I have a custom helper that I want to use, but only in a few specific controllers. I know I can load helpers globally in
Code:
Config/Autoload.php
, but I don’t want it to be loaded for every controller because it’s not needed everywhere.
What’s the best way to load a helper automatically only for certain controllers without manually calling
Code:
helper('my_helper')
in every method? Is there a clean approach for this in CodeIgniter 4?
Thanks in advance for any guidance!

I wanted to share a project I've been working on called IgniterCMS. It's a free, open-source CMS built on CodeIgniter 4 that I originally started for personal use and client projects. Over the past year, it has evolved significantly and is now a more comprehensive solution.

It features content management, theme and plugin support, user management, and both MVC and headless API options for frontend development. There's also integrated AI assistance, SEO tools, and analytics.

If you're interested, you can check it out here:
GitHub: https://github.com/akassama/igniter-cms
Website: https://ignitercms.com/
Demo: https://demo.ignitercms.com/
Documentation: https://docs.ignitercms.com/

I would appreciate any feedback or contributions. Thanks!

Tracking moved filename changes

November 21, 2025, 3:17 pm
$

In my CI4 document management system, uploaded files are stored in sub-folders within /public/uploads/.  The sub-folders are set according to the category assigned to the files as they are added (finance, insurance, property etc).  The categories are held in a separate table, and the category table field names populate the document form select field.
I've only now realised that if I add a document to a sub-folder where the same document name exists, CI appends a '_1' etc to the filename, so the second file named image.jpg becomes image_1.jpg etc, but the new filename wasn't being logged in the db, which still held image.jpg in the filename field.  I dealt with that by grabbing the new filename and updating the table $data array before updating the db with:
Code:
$theFile->move('./uploads/' . strtolower($catName));     
$data['filename'] = $theFile->getName();       
$documentModel->insert($data);
But, I can't work out how to do this when I subsequently move the file from one category sub-folder to another by changing the Category field within the Edit form, where there is already a filename and CI4 has to append _1 etc.  By that I mean I can change the category within the document form so that the uploaded file physically moves from the old sub-folder to the new one, but I can't find a way to grab the moved file name to update the db.  I get: 'Call to a member function getName() on string' as an error message.

Edit: the CI4 file move method seems to need the full path, which is perhaps why I can't extract just the filename.  
Code:
// check whether category has changed 
        $record = $documentModel->find($id);
        $existingCat = $record['category'];
        $updatedCat = $this->request->getVar('category');
        $filetomove = $record['filename'];
        if($existingCat != $updatedCat)
        {
//        $filetomove = $record['filename'];
        $newCat = $db->query("SELECT name FROM dms_category where id = $updatedCat");
        $newRow = $newCat->getRow();
        $newCatName = $newRow->name;
        $newPath = './uploads/' . strtolower($newCatName);
// $newPath = ROOTPATH . 'writable/uploads/' . strtolower($newCatName);
        $fullNewPath = $newPath . '/' . $filetomove;
        $oldCat = $db->query("SELECT name FROM dms_category where id = $existingCat");
        $oldRow = $oldCat->getRow();
        $oldCatName = $oldRow->name;
        $oldPath = './uploads/' . strtolower($oldCatName);
//        $oldPath = ROOTPATH . 'writable/uploads/' . strtolower($oldCatName);
    $fullOldPath = $oldPath . '/' . $filetomove;
    if(file_exists($fullOldPath))
{
$file = new \CodeIgniter\Files\File($fullOldPath);
$file->move($newPath);
$data['filename'] = $filetomove->getName();
      $session->setFlashdata('msg2', 'Document moved');
        }
        }
        // In case there is already a file with that name in the destination category folder
$documentModel->update($id, $data);
$session->setFlashdata('msg1', 'Record edited');
return redirect()->route('session-build');
} else {
$session->setFlashdata('msg1', 'Invalid edit');
return redirect()->route('documents-list');
etc...

Thanks

docs: Improve guides

A section with guides will soon appear in the documentation. At the beginning, it contains a tutorial for the first application and API development.

https://github.com/codeigniter4/CodeIgniter4/pull/9808

Does anyone have the opportunity to add to the experience of using the framework? I think that would be great.

I have already offered to share my case, but I was refused because of the "imposed development style".
https://github.com/codeigniter4/CodeIgniter4/pull/9262

Therefore, the guide should preferably describe the general (built-in) functionality.

feat: add a standard way to detect email views in view decorators

November 23, 2025, 10:52 am

There is no way to detect when a view is rendered for an email in CodeIgniter4. This causes scripts and markup from view decorators to be injected into emails as well.
There should be a standard way for third-party libraries to know if the output target is an email so unnecessary HTML can be skipped.
Adding an email detection mechanism would:
  • Prevent unnecessary content in outgoing emails.
  • Allow libraries to skip injecting markup for email views.
Possible solutions:
  • Provide a context variable accessible to decorators. (context could somehow be injected by the email class??)
  • Add an isEmail flag to the view renderer options
  • something else ??
The workaround for this today is to add a tag, comment, or ID in the email view and then check if it occurs.
This is not viable for third-party libraries because they do not ultimately control what the users include in their views.
This small change would help all projects and libraries handle email output correctly without workarounds.

NB: I'm up for submitting a PR for this Smile

Multiple session ids

Hi,

I was reviewing my use of session variables and having problems displaying them in a view after instantiating in a base-type controller with $session = service('session', $config);

So I searched github to see how other devs manage their sessions and came across
Code:
session()->set('var', 'value);

I used
Code:
session()->set('myarray', ['sessionId' => session_id()])
and also
Code:
$session->set('myarray2', ['sessionId' => session_id()])

I now have 3 session ids: session_id() which is the real session id, I echo'd out (I assume masked by the CI session functions)

When I dump $_SESSION I can see it has myarray and myarray2 each with different session ids.

I'm happy to use $session but am wondering where the session() is coming from and why session_id() is displaying 3 different session ids

Using modules in CI4

November 24, 2025, 9:12 am

Hello,

My project has two modules: Blog and Shop. I've followed the instructions in the docs to configure the namespaces correctly in app/Config/Autoload.php.

So here's what my project looks like now:

Code:
my-site
    - app
    - public
    - src
        - Blog
            - Config
                Routes.php
            - Controllers
                PostController.php
            - Models
            - Views
                - create.php
                - list.php
        - Shop
    - tests
    - vendor
    - writable

app/Config/Autoload.php:

PHP Code:
<?php
public $psr4 = [
    APP_NAMESPACE => APPPATH,
    'Src\Blog' => ROOTPATH . 'src/Blog',
    'Src\Shop' => ROOTPATH . 'src/Shop',
    ]; 

I've a couple of questions:

1. Is there a way to make the autoloader automatically detect the modules that I add or remove from my src folder instead of having to manually update the $psr4 variable every time?

2. Where do I put the files that are common to all the modules? Right now, I've created a 'Common' module that contains a BaseController.php and layout.php that is extended by the controllers and views in the other modules, like so:

Code:
my-site
    - app
    - public
    - src
        - Blog
        - Shop
        - Common
            - Controllers
                BaseController.php
            - Views
                - layout.php
    - tests
    - vendor
    - writable

This certainly works, but I was wondering what's the best practice to do this?

Thanks

I want all the websites (web1, web2, web3) to share the same CodeIgniter installation located in root/sistema, including using it for their basic views. I also need each site to keep its own URL structure. What is the best or recommended way to configure CodeIgniter so that all the sites can use the same framework while maintaining separate URLs?

Am going through a CodeIgniter tutorial and was advised by instructor on first developing locally and then deploying to hosting My local environs is Ubuntu 22.04. Initially, I installed PHP and Apache2, but realized the instructor specified XAMPP. If I were to install XAMPP, should I first purge all local php and apache2 installs or will the two play together nicely and I ought to be able to run everything smooth?
