CodeIgniter support on netbeans 8.0

Question

I am new in codeIgniter and trying to do the project in netbeans 8.0. The problem is, I can't download the plugin for codeigniter support. It shows some error like

"Some plugins require plugin PHP Annotation API to be installed."

I checked here for a solution and got this - "http://ellislab.com/forums/viewthread/184716/"

but the thing which I need is this - "http://alielwafdy.wordpress.com/2012/07/28/codeigniter-support-in-netbeans/".

this supports only up to netbeans 7.3.1

what should I do for netbeans 8.0. Please help

I already checked this question. But it is of Netbeans Version - 7. I am asking this question to find if there is an option in Netbeans 8, So this is not a duplicate

Answer 1

Alternate way,

• Create folder "CI_Auto_Complete" in outside the project. (ie. like anther project)
• place a php file called "CI_AUTO_COMPLETE.php",

• copy and paste the code from http://blog.bobbyallen.me/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/netbeans_autocomplete_codeigniter.txt

• Add "CI_Auto_Complete" folder to the include path.

• Right on click pjt --> properties --> include path --> Add folder.

Answer 2

Still there is no direct plugin available even though you can use auto complete class which will helps you for auto complete words.

1. copy the php code from http://blog.bobbyallen.me/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/netbeans_autocomplete_codeigniter.txt

2. save the file into your CodeIgniter Project’s NetBeans folder (in the root, so in the same folder as project.properties and project.xml)

3. If you have NetBeans currently open you’ll need to restart it for the changes to take effect!
