Zend Framework modular application, cannot load models for each module, autoload models?

Question

Is there a way to have models for each module? I have 3 modules, one is the contacts module. I created a model for it in modules / contacts / models / Codes.php Code controller

class Contacts_CodesController extends Zend_Controller_Action { public function init() { /* Initialize action controller here */ $this->view->messages = $this->_helper->flashMessenger->getMessages(); } public function indexAction() { $codesTable = new Contacts_Model_Codes(); } 

Code Model:

 class Contacts_Model_Codes extends Zend_Db_Table { protected $_name = 'codes'; } 

The error I get: Fatal error: Class 'Contacts_Model_Codes' not found in / Applications / MAMP / htdocs / zf _site / application / modules / contacts / controllers / CodesController.php on line 26

thanks

I found a problem. I forgot to put the boot file in my contacts module. Now everything works, and my modules can use their own models.

 class Contacts_Bootstrap extends Zend_Application_Module_Bootstrap { }

I found a solution, I think! :) This is a problem when adding the following resource to the application.ini file

 resources.frontController.defaultModule = "Default" 

and also you use some parameters. I think this is a mistake.

The correct way to implement modules is:

1 - Create the necessary modules and the default module using the zf tool

2 - In apllication.ini, tell ZF where the modules are and where the controllers of these modules are located, with

 resources.frontController.moduleDirectory = APPLICATION_PATH "/modules" resources.frontController.moduleControllerDirectoryName = "controllers" 

Use famous

 resources.modules = "" 

And install:

 resources.frontController.params.prefixDefaultModule = "" 

This is important because the zf tool sets the value to "1". Here is the error. :)

And remember, DO NOT START THAT THE DEFAULT MODULE!

3 - Create a boot file for each module and put:

If my module is "Evacol":

 <?php class Evacol_Bootstrap extends Zend_Application_Module_Bootstrap { } 

Save it in / modules / Evacol / obviously

Pay attention to Evacol _ ... and ..._ Module_Bootstr ... NAME OF MY MODULE EXTENDING THE RIGHT CLASS. Do not use the default value for the boot file created with the zf tool. I did it :)

CANNOT CHANGE ANYTHING. THIS IS NOT NECESSARY.

And voila! Trust me. He works!

It was Zend Framework 1.10.8

You need to register the Contacts namespace with the autoloader. You can use Zend_Application_Module_Autoloader for this.

 $autoloader = new Zend_Application_Module_Autoloader(array( 'namespace' => 'Contacts_', 'basePath' => dirname(__FILE__) . '/modules/cotacts', )); 

This will create the following mappings for your module inside the provided basePath.

 api/ => Api forms/ => Form models/ => Model DbTable/ => Model_DbTable plugins/ => Plugin 

If you use Zend_Application to extend your application and its modules, you do not need this because the docs say that:

When using modular bootstraps with Zend_Application, an instance of Zend_Application_Module_Autoloader will be created by default for each discrete module, which allows you to automatically load module resources.

Answer 4

add

 resources.modules[] = 

In your ini configuration

I am using version 1.9. This is part of my boot file:

 protected function _initAutoload() { $modelLoader = new Zend_Application_Module_Autoloader(array( 'namespace' => '', 'basePath' => APPLICATION_PATH.'/modules/default') ); } protected function _initAutoloaders() { $this->getApplication()->setAutoloaderNamespaces(array('Eric_')); return $this; } protected function _initPlugins() { $this->bootstrap('autoloaders'); $this->bootstrap('frontController'); // register the plugin for setting layouts per module $plugin = new Eric_Plugin_Modularlayout(); $this->frontController->registerPlugin($plugin); return $modelLoader; } 

The Eric_Plugin_Modularlayout plugin sets the correct layout for each module.

I have 3 modules: default, ez, contacts. The funny thing is: in the action of the contacts, I can call the models in the ez / models directory. no problem.
