A project template providing a better way to develop and deploy a website based on CodeIgniter framework.

• Use CodeIgniter as a web framework.
  • Omit index.php in URL no matter where you place your website
    (at document root, its subdirectory, or on a virtual host).
• Use Git as a version control system.
  • With pre-configured .gitignore.
  • Update CodeIgniter by updating the system submodule.
• Develop and test at local and then deploy to the live website.
  • The project is deploying-independent and easy to set up.
  • Deploy the website by git push.
• User-friendly configuration panel.
• The private zone.
• Compatible with Linux and Windows.

1. Download the latest project template, and unzip it.

2. Rename the folder ci-proj-basis-master as your own project name.

3. Change directory to the folder, and execute the following commands:

   git init
   git submodule add git:https://github.com/YiPo/ci-proj-system.git private/system
   git add .
   git commit -m "Initial commit"
   

4. Push this local repo to your remote repo.
   (Replace <your-remote-repo> to where your remote repo is.)

   git remote add origin <your-remote-repo>
   git push -u origin master
   

Run this command: (Replace <your-remote-repo> to where your remote repo is)

git clone --recursive <your-remote-repo>

or execute the following command after cloning.

git submodule update --init --recursive

The config files that may vary from deployments are extracted from the project. These files (as below) are stored as templates in the folder ci-proj-admin/template. Once you link to ci-proj-admin/ and enter the admin panel, these files are copied to their corresponding place and ready for configuring.

• /.htaccess (root/.htaccess)
• /index.php (root/index.php)
• ci-proj-admin/.htaccess (admin/.htaccess)
• private/application/config/database.php (config/database.php)

The private folder and anything in it are unreachable from the web.

1. Have your live website ready, see Clone a Repo and Configuration.

2. Let the post-receive hook of your remote repo access the page ci-proj-admin/deploy.php of your website.

Create the file post-receive in the hooks folder of the remote repo as follows:
(Replace user, password and path/to/website to yours.)

#!/bin/sh
curl -k https://user:[email protected]/path/to/website/ci-proj-admin/deploy.php

and make sure the file is executable.

chmod +x post-receive

Set the webhook URL to the page ci-proj-admin/deploy.php of your website, see Post-Receive Hooks for more information. The URL may looks like this:
(Replace user, password and path/to/website to yours.)

https://user:[email protected]/path/to/website/ci-proj-admin/deploy.php
