I'm working on a project where the following are in development:
- public info website with protected resource areas
- web application
Both will be on the same server, under the same domain.
The web application is login protected. If a member logs into the web application, they can also access the protected resource areas on the public site and visa versa.
Q. Both are being developed using CodeIgniter. Because there is need for this shared login, is it advisable to keep both as one project/one big site structure? or 2 separate CI projects/structures with a means of sharing the login.
One developer is tackling the web app and one (me) is tackling the public site - so my feeling is that it would be easier to keep them separate structures with some cross-over for the login/session management.
