using this structure
home
— application (your ci application)
— system (ci system)
— www (css,js and index.php)
set source folder and project folder as home
set web root as the www folder
code completion etc works – no need for hooks etc.
to debug just click debug let debug attach then remove ?xdebug string and continue as usual – (know an automatic fix?)

@Mike,
Sorry, I have installed netbeans 6.7 and i don’t need to restart at all to get it working. But with netbeans 6.5 I had to do it. Weird though.

Hi,
It works only with controller. How can I get it working with model. Because I have to use $this -> db …. in all model… Plz give a solution

@Mike,
You have to restart netbeans EACH TIME(I guess) you add ‘@properties ….’ code snippet in any controller/model.

I’ve tried to follow the instructions above and the code competition doesn’t seem to be working for me.

So far I’ve added my system folder to the include path and created a directory temp with a folder inside called “netbeans_ci_autocomplete.php”. Is there something I’m missing here?

@Andrew
I do the same as you. One core CI system directory for multiple sites:

1 easy updating
2 better performance (file-caching)

Don’t forget to include the CI system directory to the PHP include path at the Project Properties.

That should work!

@Andrey probably answered your question as well.

actually, I have another question you might be able to answer!

I had a number of classes and collection classes in an old project, that are mostly object structures, with getter/setter functions, which I’d created so that I could get lovely netbeans code completion on my objects while looping through things and so on. It just felt the right thing to do.

However, as i’m now trying to build a project using CI, I want to use this lot in a new library for CI, but I want to be able to access this library and get Code Completion.

e.g:

$this->someclass->some_function(param);

actually, going one step further, can a library hold multiple classes? e.g. I load “mylibrary” and then I can get access to:

$this->mylibrary->SomeClass->someFunction(param);

or perhaps more likely:

$myObject = $this->mylibrary->someClass();

so that I can then do:

$myObject->someFunction(param);

I think I’m going to have to pose this question in the forum but it’s down at the moment, grrr.

maybe I did something wrong, but I originally had my structure like this:

htdocs/CIsystem/
htdocs/Website/app

This was so that CISystem could be used across multiple hosted sites, and each website would be a netbeans project, so it had a nbproject folder in it, which is where I placed the file you suggested above.

What I noticed is that I didn’t get proper full on code completion with this structure until I put the files in CISystem folder back inside the project.

So I either had two choices, one project file for multiple websites, or move the CI system folder back inside my website project folder.

Unless I’ve done something wrong?
