If are trying to get somewhere with the Digg API, I highly recommend this tutorial on accessing the Digg API with PHP. Remember to save the php files as a CodeIgniter library so that you can call it like this:

$this->load->library('diggclass');

I can’t wait to get my hands on the Akismet CodeIgniter Library. Elliot Haughin has hit another home run. It looks simple enough to use… just load the library, pass it a comment object (name, email, website, and the actual comment itself), and you’ll get a is_spam flag.

ExpressionEngine 2.0 is now fully “CodeIgnited”. This is probably one of the most exciting things i’ve read coding-wise in weeks. I haven’t had much experience with ExpressionEngine, but now I think myself and anyone else who hasn’t (but had hands in CodeIgniter) is going to be giving it more thought. I’m still reading and digesting the information but it appears you can build a CodeIgniter site and then (perhaps?) slap ExpressionEngine on top of it as a pre-made CMS. Gotta confirm that, but if that’s even remotely possible then that blows my current custom-built CMS (built in CodeIgniter as well) right out of the water.

I agree with Derek. Certainly a great time to be a CodeIgniter “nerd”. This gives me alot more confidence to look for CodeIgniter updates and enhancements down the line.

New To CodeIgniter 1.6.1: Active Record caching, a new Path Helper, and a series of enhancements for working with multiple character sets, etc.

Elliot Haughin’s article on Optimizing and Scaling your CodeIgniter Application looks like a must read for anyone designing application and websites that wouldn’t qualify as “small”. Just beginning to get into this, but if you work with CodeIgniter this looks like a bookmark no-brainer.

This simple library gets status updates from Twitter to use in your CodeIgniter application. Looks like Elliot Haughin has more CodeIgniter libraries for Simplepie, Amazon S3, Flickr, and Lastfm.

I’m bookmarking this sample Facebook application with CodeIgniter mainly for the CodeIgniter aspect since i’m not really an active Facebook user. Still interesting, and worth a look.

The fact that CodeIgniter 1.6 has hit the streets has got me excited about this php framework again. One or two new client projects will be built with this version in the coming weeks. I especially like how you can extend the helpers, but the biggest thing of all is that a CodeIgniter 2.0 might be in our future since development is accelerating.

PHP4 is still supported, and I would agree with that thinking since PHP5 is not yet everywhere in the shared hosting universe.

According to Derek Allard, CodeIgniter 1.6.0 “beta” is available and he’s giving a hint for additional (and bigger) updates in the near future. I’m glad to hear this, since CodeIgniter is my favorite PHP framework. Can’t wait to take a crack at it.

BambooInvoice 0.8.3 Preview - Not only a great web app, but made with PHP MVC framework CodeIgniter.

I’m currently using a year-old solution, but interested in other authorization libraries for CodeIgniter. Michael Wales seems to have created one, so bookmarking for future reference.

SimplePie is a code library, written in PHP, intended to make it easy for people to manage RSS and Atom feeds. Seems to intergrate with CakePHP and CodeIgniter, and there’s even a Wordpress plugin. Here’s a little more on the CodeIgniter intergration.
