I believe I used e texteditor for this. It’s nice and light.

Wow, and it keeps getting worse. If this is the kind of tutorial I can expect from tutsplus, i’m canceling. I’m sorry I wasted my 9 bucks on this.

It’s more than just naming convention, it’s a very bad tutorial all around. The functions are poorly named, and pure MVC is followed. I stop 20 minutes in because there should have been a group model to hold get_model(). Also, GetID is a horrible name because it doesnt get an ID at all, it gets a member based on ID.

should have been (in members model) get_member_via_id($member_id);

It’s sloppy programming all the way through.

What editor is it your using Connor? (Or if anyone else knows)

It looks like inType, but with some additional menu options, but I can’t make the name or icon out properly in the screencast. I am on the hunt for a good one just now having been pushed out of Aptana now it’s ditched it’s PHP plugin. I enjoyed inType and looks along the same lines so keen to find out…

Altough tutorial is very, very interesting I have found some issues which aren’t nice in Plus tutorial:

1. naming convetion – sometimes functions are named using “_”, sometimes it is a Camel Case. I think that Code Igniter has some “good practice” rules about it And if we aren`t sticking to them strictly we should use the same naming convention accross whole tutorial.
2. Audio synchronisation – it is just terrible. Even on updated version. I would like to remind that this is not regular free tutorial but tutorial from “famous” plus so some level of quality has to be maintained.

Anyway it is a very good tutorial which I`m happy from
