What is a good blog system to use with CodeIgniter?

Question

I am developing a fully functional website that includes a blog on the home page. I want it to be fully functional, but I do not want to spend constant coding on it. Is there a good blogging system that can be easily integrated with CodeIgniter?

Answer 1

Honestly, I would separate CodeIgniter from the blog code. If you look at many sites that have a blog these days, they will often have a main application at www.example.com and then post their blog on blog.example.com where they will have Wordpress installed (which I recommend since you already have the php / mysql stack) or something like that. You can still do this work if you want it to be on example.com/blog, but depending on your site, you may need to make some changes to files such as your .htaccess file, as well as the theme of your blog blog. if you want it looks like the rest of your site.

Answer 2

Expression Engine 2.0 is built on CodeIgniter and created by the same company Ellis Labs. It is pretty decent and will be familiar to you if you are already familiar with CI.

Answer 3

If you plan to create a public blogging platform, you cannot use the Expression Engine because of a license violation. see http://expressionengine.com/sales_faq/article/myspace_blogservice/

For a free alternative, try http://pyrocms.com/ . I thought about how to realize myself, because I want to implement a blog on my current site.
