Great news about the very latest versions of Codeigniter 2.
As of today’s date the latest version on github has a new feature which allows you to move the views folder outside of the application folder.
The setting is inside the main index.php.
This means, at least to me I don’t have to give permissions to anyone else to access the application folder (i.e. the designers !!!)
Here’s my new structure layout.
webroot/ application/ public/ index.php .htaccess css/ js/ images/ system/ views/ template.php
