More and more at work, I’m using CodeIgniter (actually version 2) coupled with Datamapper ORM for quick projects. I even completed a fairly substantial project (the Careers page for PetRelocation.com) with probably 90% of the work being done in an 8 hour period… solo. The most difficult aspect of the whole thing was having multiple file uploads required for the page.  For these projects, I created base framework with CodeIgniter 2 and Datamapper ORM already integrated… plus some of the config files already set, like the autoloads.

So in the effort of being a good community member, I’m offering the CodeIgniter/Datamapper base that I use.
