Answer 1

Best netbeans plugin to use for codeigniter framework is nb-ci-plugin.

When using nb-ci-plugin choose the correct plugin build for the respective netbeans version.

steps to install this plugin is shown here - be sure to choose the correct plugin build/version

and for the auto-complete for CI-HMVC just add

YavorK/netbeans_codeigniter_hmvc_autocomplete

contents leaving the <?php ?> tag and add it into the file __ci_auto_complete__.php in the netbeans from nbproject folder located in the root of your CI project

To enable auto-complete for your own Controller or Model just add it under

"/**" 

for example add a line
* @property Users $users to include your Users module controller.

And
* @property Mdl_users $mdl_users for your Mdl_users model

for autocomplete when typing $this->users-> use ↑ (up arrow) to select from the methods of Users

After installing the plugins and providing base files in NetBeans (Tools->Options->PHP->CodeIgniter->BaseFiles).

I just copied the codeigniter zip content into the php project in netbeans.folder structure of codeigniter inside php project after that, right click on the project and run so you will see your default navigator with the welcome page from CodeIgniter.
