external classes

[danfreak]

Add a kinda "vendor" (like in CAKEphp) folder where wo include all external classes and scripts. In order to make it working even with complex classes with several files and folder extend the php 'include_path' directory.

I always do it with a post-controller hook: [code] <?php

if (!defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');

class Myclasses {

/**

• includes the directory application\my_classes\ in your includes directory * */

function index() {

//includes the directory application\my_classes\Swift\

ini_set('include_path', ini_get('include_path').';'.BASEPATH.'application/my_classes/');

}

}

?> /code

This can be accomplished as of Kohana 2.0. The syntax is:

{{{<?php

Kohana::find_file('vendor', 'path/filename');

?>}}}

This will search (in this order): APPPATH, $configinclude_paths?, SYSPATH.
