Code explains itself. I plan to do a lot more work on it - just wanted to throw it up here for a little sharing. Feel free to take it to the next level.

(PHP) URL Sharing Helper - brettbergeron

Thu, 27 Aug 2009 13:23:02 UTC

This is a quick & dirty helper for pumping out those annoying little link sharing URLS. I've kept it simple, so all it does is return a URL formatted for a particular service. To use it, just pass a string of the service name to the helper followed by the title. This could definitely be taken to the next level by adding a parameter for the URL, but my needs were incompatible with such a feature.

(PHP) Google Analytics Helper for CodeIgniter - brettbergeron

Below are two functions I've been using to make event tracking a little easier in CodeIgniter. Two functions are available, google_analytics() & track_event(). google_analytics() takes one argument and uses it as the UA code for your tracking profile. track_event has two required parameters, $category and $event. The other two items are optional and won't be inserted unless specified. Usage is pretty straight-forward:

(PHP) Asset Helper for CodeIgniter - brettbergeron

The below code helps you move your site assets (images, css, javascript) to a public folder inside the application directory of CodeIgniter. One thing you'll need to do is define ASSETPATH to be the path to the location of your public items. For myself, I set this to system/application//public/. See some of my other snippets to get some background on the subdomain part of that path.

(PHP) Call CodeIgniter Application Based on Subdomain - brettbergeron

Thu, 20 Aug 2009 13:33:46 UTC

I recently found the need to run multiple CodeIgniter applications inside of a single codebase for development & test purposes. So, I rewrote a few lines of the primary index file (/index.php) to automatically route URLs like subdomain.domain.com to the CodeIgniter application within /system/application/subdomain. As a catch-all, the snippet will route the "www" subdomain (and requests with no subdomain) to application/live. This is a nice & tidy way to give your development, test and live versions of a site their own unique subdomains. Works great when passing the URLs to clients for testing & approval.
