Thread: 1.8.0 Bootstrapping Modules and Autoloaders

Quote: Posted by leigh_m


Did you put the following in your application.ini:

resources.modules = ""

This worked for me.

I tried that before and it bombed out with some error. I'll try again tonight though.

I too was struggling with this and I put the issue aside to deal with other problems. Then I started implementing Module-level ini configurations following this post :

Zend Framework: module config | vandenbos.org

and discovered the solution to getting Module-level Bootstrap files to actually load.

The answer to the problem is not in any of the documentation I have read regarding Module implemention in Zend Framework. But all you need to do is to add 'resources.modules[] = ' to your application.ini file. This line will then enable the loading of your module Bootstrap.php files.

Remember to name the module-level Bootstrap class after your module. eg.
'class Admin_Bootstrap extends Zend_Application_Module_Bootstrap' or you will get an error about 'Cannot redeclare class Bootstrap'.

Hope this helps.

In the end this is how it all looks.
My Main Bootstrap
[PHP]
<?php

class Bootstrap extends Zend_Application_Bootstrap_Bootstrap
{

protected function _initApplication()
{
$this->bootstrap('frontcontroller');
$front = $this->getResource('frontcontroller');
$front->addModuleDirectory(dirname(__FILE__) . '/modules');
}

protected function _initDoctype()
{
$this->bootstrap('view');
$view = $this->getResource('view');
$view->doctype('XHTML1_STRICT');
}
}
[/PHP]

My config file

damn im stupid :| instead of carefully reading your solving thread i have searched the whole day long for a solution to my problem... instead of resources.modules = '' i was using (as Jeroen and other guys say) resources.modules[] = and i just couldnt figure out why the heck wasn't working :|

has it anything to do with zf's version? even though Jeroen's tutorial seems pretty up to date :| can someone explain to me, please, why for some

resources.modules[] = works and for others (like me) works this way:

resources.modules = ''

? thanks in advance
