Converting an MVC app to HMVC in CodeIgniter

Question

I have an App in CodeIgniter built using the regular MVC pattern. If I want to switch to HMVC then I have to move all Models,Views and Controllers to the modules folder? I don't understand if in HMVC everything is a module or both Modules and the old MVC structure can coexist.

Answer 1

H in HMVC stands for hierarchical, the files in your normal controllers,vews and models folders are on top of the hierarchy. This means that you can still use or old controllers,models,views folders. These folders will then be accessible by all modules in your system.
