A brief overview of the problem The massive explosion in web applications over the past few years means that more and more data than ever is being saved and loaded from databases. Web application frameworks such as Kohana take a lot of the grunt-work out of the process of shunting data around, but there are still [...]

Default controller for serving static pages

Dave Stewart — Fri, 22 Aug 2008 10:27:11 +0000

A brief overview of the problem A framework such as Kohana is really useful when serving lots of dynamic pages, as it allows you organise both your thoughts and your code into folders, creating order from what could potentially be chaos, at the expense of having to adhere to a structured way of working, in this [...]

Hi again folks, The last article dealt with setting up a single web application, but what if you need to set up multiple applications? For example I need to set up a site that is comprised of an administration application, a private section for our sales department and a public site. Well its actually very easy! Using [...]

There are some interesting discussions going on in the Kohana forums regarding a new design for the Kohana websites. Right now, nothing is definite so if you have suggestions, you are a Photoshop/Illustrator expert or you hold a degree in usability, feel free to have your say.

As promised, here is a link to the Kohana 2.2 API Use it to write documentation or just as a reference, it’s all fine by me The current trunk API is also still available. I try to give it a regular kick for some updates for those of you eager to follow svn development. [...]

Kohana, Subversion and the Eclipse IDE

Plus I also enjoy IDE features such as refactoring, code [...]
