Comments on: Zend Framework: module specific frontcontroller plugins

My solution, after reading this article and few others, was to subclass Zend_Application_Resource_Modules and override the init() method. Iterate through all modules, getting the options from the config files, merge them to the application’s bootstrap options passing it as an array to setOptions(array($moduleName => $moduleOptions)). This is done before parent::init() so the bootstrap’s options get updated before each module bootstrap, since all module bootstraps look for their configs inside the application’s bootstrap configuration.

This didn’t work for me either until I made the following modifications:

1. Make sure you’ve created a bootstrap class for your module extending from Zend_Application_Module_Bootstrap.

2. Modify Rexus_Application_Resource_Moduleplugins replacing the foreach loop in init() with the following code:

$bootstrap = $this->getBootstrap();

if ($bootstrap instanceof Zend_Application_Module_Bootstrap) {
foreach ($options as $pluginName) {

$pluginLoader->registerFrontControllerPlugin(
strtolower($this->getBootstrap()->getModuleName()), $pluginName);
}
}

The problem is the code is expecting a getModuleName method on all the bootstrap classes (including the default), but this method only exists on Zend_Application_Module_Bootstrap.

ok, i managed to load the moduleplugins resource.

using ZF 1.9 the class Rexus_Application_Resource_Moduleplugins doesn’t work at all..

php crashes because of this line $this->getBootstrap()->getModuleName()

Just in case, this is how I got around the module specific loading of an authentication mechanism:

class Bootstrap extends Zend_Application_Bootstrap_Bootstrap
{
protected function _initAuth()
{
$frontController = $this->bootstrap(‘frontController’)->frontController;
$frontController->registerPlugin(new Cantah_Controller_Plugin_Auth(array(‘modules’=>’admin’)));
}

Then in the preDispatch of the Cantah_Controller_Plugin_Auth plugin I check if a module is set, and if the module is admin, do the appropriate Zend_Auth checking.

I’m not too sure how you load Rexus_Application_Resource_Moduleplugins, is it in the application.ini?
