The main difference is that a plugin usually -provides a single function, whereas a Helper is usually a collection of functions. Helpers are also considered a part of -the core system; plugins are intended to be created and shared by our community.</p> - -<p>Plugins should be saved to your <dfn>system/plugins</dfn> directory or you can create a folder called <kbd>plugins</kbd> inside -your <kbd>application</kbd> folder and store them there. CodeIgniter will look first in your <dfn>system/application/plugins</dfn> -directory. If the directory does not exist or the specified plugin is not located there CI will instead look in your global -<dfn>system/plugins</dfn> folder.</p> - - -<h2>Loading a Plugin</h2> - -<p>Loading a plugin file is quite simple using the following function:</p> - -<code>$this->load->plugin('<var>name</var>');</code> - -<p>Where <var>name</var> is the file name of the plugin, without the .php file extension or the "plugin" part.</p> - -<p>For example, to load the <dfn>Captcha</dfn> plugin, which is named <var>captcha_pi.php</var>, you will do this:</p> - -<code>$this->load->plugin('<var>captcha</var>');</code> - - - -<p>A plugin can be loaded anywhere within your <a href="../general/controllers.html">controller</a> functions (or even within your <a href="../general/views.html">View files</a>, although that's not a good practice), -as long as you load it before you use it. You can load your plugins in your controller constructor so that they become available -automatically in any function, or you can load a plugin in a specific function that needs it.</p> - -<p class="important">Note: The Plugin loading function above does not return a value, so don't try to assign it to a variable. Just use it as shown.</p> - - -<h2>Loading Multiple Plugins</h2> - -<p>If you need to load more than one plugin you can specify them in an array, like this:</p> - -<code>$this->load->plugin( <samp>array(</samp>'<var>plugin1</var>', '<var>plugin2</var>', '<var>plugin3</var>'<samp>)</samp> );</code> - -<h2>Auto-loading Plugins</h2> - -<p>If you find that you need a particular plugin globally throughout your application, you can tell CodeIgniter to auto-load it -during system initialization. This is done by opening the <var>application/config/autoload.php</var> file and adding the plugin to the autoload array.</p> - - -<h2>Using a Plugin</h2> - -<p>Once you've loaded the Plugin, you'll call it the way you would a standard PHP function.</p> - - - - -</div> -<!-- END CONTENT --> - - -<div id="footer"> -<p> -Previous Topic: <a href="helpers.html">Helpers</a> - · -<a href="#top">Top of Page</a> · -<a href="../index.html">User Guide Home</a> · -Next Topic: <a href="libraries.html">Using Libraries</a> -</p> -<p><a href="http://codeigniter.com">CodeIgniter</a> · Copyright © 2006-2010 · <a href="http://ellislab.com/">Ellislab, Inc.</a></p> -</div> - -</body> -</html>
