Loading custom module plugins
by Robert Basic on July 20th, 2010
OK, here's a quicky one from the office :P
I was trying to load a Front Controller plugin which resides in app/modules/my_module/controllers/plugins/ and not in the "usual" lib/My_App/Plugin/. I want this plugin to be called in every request and I want the plugin file to be under it's "parent" module.
Here's what I did: added the path to the plugin and it's namespace to the Zend_Application_Module_Autoloader as a new resource type and then just register the plugin in the front controller in an other _init method.
Code is better, here's some:
class News_Bootstrap extends Zend_Application_Module_Bootstrap
{
/**
* Autoloader for the "news" module
*
* @return Zend_Application_Module_Autoloader
*/
public function _initNewsAutoload()
{
$moduleLoader = new Zend_Application_Module_Autoloader(
array(
'namespace' => 'News',
'basePath' => APPLICATION_PATH . '/modules/news'
)
);
// adding model resources to the autoloader
$moduleLoader->addResourceTypes(
array(
'plugins' => array(
'path' => 'controllers/plugins',
'namespace' => 'Controller_Plugin'
)
)
);
return $moduleLoader;
}
public function _initPlugins()
{
$this->bootstrap('frontcontroller');
$fc = $this->getResource('frontcontroller');
$fc->registerPlugin(new News_Controller_Plugin_Scheduler());
}
}
If anyone knows a better way for doing this, please do share it with me.
Now back to work. Cheerio.
