I tried a similar approach but I think a module should be as its name suggests; modular. Which to me means it can be dropped into any ZF application without dependencies from the main application. And actually writing resource plug-ins defeats that purpose plus Zend_Application_Module_Bootstrap provides all the means necessary. It has its own resource container (Registry) plus is has methods such as set- and getOptions. What I also recognize is that accessing these specific module bootstrap options ore resources could be easier.

Have a look at http://www.sreknord.net/blog/zend-framework/zend-framework-module-config-the-easy-way

As to your solution: you could also use (in your module bootstrap class) $this->getApplication()->setOptions() to set the options globally it desired.

Lastly, I tried your code: I also have routes defined for my modules, your resource class tries to parse those files too, as they have the .ini extension and reside in the same folder which then results into an error.

Viceversa for the pointd 2 and 3 I agree with you. They look strange to me too. I’d like to wait for a Matthijs’s reply.

For the points 2 and 3 I agree with you so far… but maybe we are not seeing something I don’t know… I’d like to wait for a Matthiss’s reply.

thanks

I got my problem’s solution. In fact, Your code is superb but,

According to me, it can be optimized further as follows:

1. Put “$appOptions = $this->getBootstrap()->getOptions();” before all loops.

2. In

if (($len = strpos($filename, ‘.’)) !== false) {
$cfgtype = substr($filename, 0, $len);
} else {
$cfgtype = $filename;
}

following code is not redundant:
else {
$cfgtype = $filename;
}

3. Similarly, last “else” is redundant.

I am sorry if I hurt a programmer’s soul but I am just making a excellent code into perfect one.
(If I am wrong then I’ll happily learn new concept)

After going through following methods:

and

I found your way is best because its clean and clear.

But can I have separate bootstrap.php for each module? If Yes then kindly highlight.

I want to add an view helper path in a module, how can I add it? (Actually, in non-modular structure I could add in Bootstrap.php but I am facing error)

Thank you very much for this post. It is really very usefull. Could you please send me the all structures codes over this post , module specific frontcontroller plugins post and per module translation sources post? I and my team debate over a moduler structre for our newest project.

In my opionian you should write a tutorial serials over this subjects. And you can share your codes at SVN.

Best Regards.
