System folder Codeigniter

Question

I have an application running with Codeigniter, its name is SAF.

folder structure:

/SAF/index.php
/SAF/application/
/SAF/system/

Now, i'm going to develop other application that going to use at folder structure:

/BOL/index.php/
/BOL/application/

So, can I alter the $system_path variable of index.php in BOL structure to i'll use the system folder of SAF application?

$system_path = '../SAF/system';

Are there any problem in this?

Answer 1

It will work, but unless your BOL application explicitly depends on SAF, I recommend moving system out of both

/system/
/SAF/...
/BOL/...

This is how I used to do it and this way the content of each directory is specific only to its own application (it avoids someone messing with /SAF/system without taking into account the fact that his changes will affect BOL as well).

Answer 2

No, that should work perfectly.
