Forward

Category:Library::Controller | Category:Library::Community

Introduction

Forward allows you to jump from one controller to other once the execution of the first is finished.

Requirements

CodeIgniter 1.6.2

Download

File:forward_1.6.2-0.1.zip

Included files

[b]Core[/b] codeigniter/CodeIgniter.php libraries/Controller.php libraries/URI.php

[b]Example[/b] application/controllers/test.php application/controllers/welcome.php

Install

You must overwrite the 3 CI files listed in included files in Core. If you have a local modification of them, back up your files before.

Usage

Your controllers will have a method named "forward" which receives an arbitrary number of parameters. Once the controller execution is finished, CodeIgniter will continue executing the forwarded method.

The parameters can be: an URI string (for example "welcome/index/argument") many strings (for example "welcome", "index", "argument") an array with strings (array("welcome", "index", "argument"))

Any of these examples will generate the same URI. The URI [b]will be[/b] routed using your custom route rules. If any of the forwarded controllers is not found, a 404 error page will be displayed. Also, all loaded models and libraries will persist on the forwarded CI object.
