After doing a ton of CI installations, I decided to package some of the things I used the most. I don’t claim to be a guru or anything, just figured I could make life easier for others who might have had the same problems I had. Included in this package:

-The ever so popular XJAX script
-Asset helper: to use with images, javascripts, and stylesheets
-Facebox: cool javascript for displaying divs, images, and external pages
-Lightbox: another cool javascript for displaying images and image galleries
-htaccess file to hide your index.php

If there are any other packages and/or addons that are pretty common, I’d love to hear about them so I can try to implement as many as I can! Send me a message or post it here…

Looks great Iverson, thanks for putting this together.  Could I ask you to change the name you use?  You could personalize it… maybe “GandyXT” or something?

Understood…

Fantastic, and thanks for sharing - I really hope this picks up steam - these are indeed very useful tools you’ve got here.

According to the description, it appears this is a full CodeIgniter download plus the files you’ve added in?
Are there any core modifications?

Could you alternatively provide a package with your files separated from CodeIgniter, along with patch files for any core file changes?

I dunno about others, but I keep my own version of CI stored in SVN, and I’d rather not have to sift through an entire copy to get a couple of addons sorted out.

Thanks for putting this together, hope it becomes popular

It is the full core as well as I have just downloaded it. Other than that, it is very good, and very easy to use. Well Done.

Yes, it’s the full core. I will look into separating them, but I’m thinking that the work it will take to re-implement them might offset it’s entire purpose: to have cool features included into a CI download.

Very nice, Iverson.

Very nice. That’s all.

The download link doesn’t seem to work

can you fix the download link?

The download link is fixed. Sorry for the trouble…
