Setup multi modules in Zend Framework v1.9 with 13 steps

**www.zend.vn** · 11-21-2009, 06:53 AM

Easy to setup multi modules in Zend Framework with 13 steps (tutorial)

1. Create basic structure for the application

(H001)

2. Create detail structure for each module (Admin & Default)

(H002)

3. Configure file application\index.php

Code:

<?php
   date_default_timezone_set('Asia/Ho_Chi_Minh');
   
   // Define base path obtainable throughout the whole application
    defined('BASE_PATH')
        || define('BASE_PATH', realpath(dirname(__FILE__)));
     
        
    // Define path to application directory
    defined('APPLICATION_PATH')
        || define('APPLICATION_PATH', BASE_PATH . '/application');
        
    // Define application environment
    defined('APPLICATION_ENV')
        || define('APPLICATION_ENV', (getenv('APPLICATION_ENV') ? getenv('APPLICATION_ENV') : 'development'));
   
   set_include_path(implode(PATH_SEPARATOR, array(
       realpath(APPLICATION_PATH . '/../library'),
       APPLICATION_PATH . '/modules/admin/models' ,
       get_include_path(),
   )));
    

   /** Zend_Application */
   require_once 'Zend/Application.php';
   
   // Create application, bootstrap, and run
   $application = new Zend_Application(
       APPLICATION_ENV,
       APPLICATION_PATH . '/configs/application.ini'
   );
      
   $application->bootstrap()->run();

4. Configure file application\.htaccess

Code:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -s [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -l [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^.*$ - [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^.*$ index.php [NC,L]

5. Setup application file which contain configuration of application application\configs\application.ini

Code:

[production]
phpSettings.display_startup_errors = 0
phpSettings.display_errors = 0
includePaths.library = APPLICATION_PATH "/../library"
bootstrap.path = APPLICATION_PATH "/Bootstrap.php"
bootstrap.class = "Bootstrap"
resources.frontController.moduleDirectory = APPLICATION_PATH "/modules"
resources.modules = ""

resources.layout.layout = "layout"
resources.layout.layoutpath = APPLICATION_PATH "/layouts"

[staging : production]

[testing : production]
phpSettings.display_startup_errors = 1
phpSettings.display_errors = 1

[development : production]
phpSettings.display_startup_errors = 1
phpSettings.display_errors = 1

6. Create content for file application\layouts\ layout.phtml

Code:

<?php echo $this->doctype(); ?>
<html>
<head>
   <?php echo $this->headMeta(); ?>
   <?php echo $this->headTitle(); ?>
   <?php echo $this->headLink(); ?>
</head>
<body>

<?php echo $this->layout()->content; ?>

</body>
</html>

7. Create content for bootstrap file of appliction application\ Bootstrap.php

Code:

<?php
class Bootstrap extends Zend_Application_Bootstrap_Bootstrap
{
   
}

Setup configration for Admin module (Back-End) (View picture H002)

8. Create content for bootstrap file of Admin module application\modules\admin\Bootstrap.php

Code:

<?php
class Admin_Bootstrap extends Zend_Application_Module_Bootstrap 
{
   
}

9. Enter content into IndexController của Admin module - application\modules\admin\controllers\IndexControl ler.php

Code:

<?php
class Admin_IndexController extends Zend_Controller_Action {
   
   public function indexAction(){
      $this->view->show = 'Zend Framework training course in www.zend.vn<br>Back-End';
      
   }
   
}

10. Show content indexAction in IndexController of Admin module - application\modules\admin\views\scripts\index\inde x.phtml

Code:

<h2><?php echo $this->show;?></h2>

Setup configration for Default module (Front-End) (view picture H002)

11. Create content for bootstrap file of Default module application\modules\default\Bootstrap.php

Code:

<?php
class Default_Bootstrap extends Zend_Application_Module_Bootstrap 
{
   
}

12. Enter content into IndexController của Default module - application\modules\default\controllers\IndexContr oller.php

Code:

<?php
class IndexController extends Zend_Controller_Action {
   
   public function indexAction(){
      $this->view->show = 'Zend Framework training course in www.zend.vn<br>Front-End';
      
   }
}

13. Show content indexAction in IndexController of Default module - application\modules\default\views\scripts\index\ index.phtml

Code:

<h2><?php echo $this->show;?></h2>

Run:
Front-End: http://localhost/multi-module/ Or http://localhost/multi-module/index
Back-End: http://localhost//multi-module/admin/

I have the following in my application.ini:

Code:

resources.modules[] = ""

What's the difference of the []?

**bsdfgsaga** · 11-28-2009, 12:23 AM

OK, cool!^_^ I just wanted to make sure I didn't do anything wrong :]

Nice! I'll start saving up some scratch for this

Really, the first one to sort out this mystery.

It looks like there must be a subclass of Zend_Application_Module_Bootstrap at the module level...

**Neantis** · 12-24-2009, 12:54 PM

I guess the application bootstrap file is called and then the module bootstrap is, am I right? Is it possible to share models, forms, etc... between the modules? How zf handles this?

**risoknop** · 01-17-2010, 02:27 AM

Why are there two bootstrap files (one for each module)? Is there any reason for that? I always use just one bootstrap file in my modular Zend Framework applications.

**PHPop** · 01-17-2010, 01:14 PM

1. Setting resources.modules[] = "" instead of resources.modules = "", causes the resources[modules] to have an element [0].

2. Yes, the module bootstraps are called after the main one. It's generally to setup module specific initialization which makes portability a little easier.

3. You can share models using autoloader after the dispatch process is called in your plugins. Otherwise you'd have to load and call the models the old school way.

Cheers

Thanks to ZVN - Vietname Zend Framework - Open Source Group for this great tutorial.
I followed it step by step to fit my own application.
But I now I have the trouble that my application loads infinitly.

My config looks like the following:

Code:

[production]
phpSettings.display_startup_errors = 0
phpSettings.display_errors = 0
includePaths.library = APPLICATION_PATH "/../library"

bootstrap.path = APPLICATION_PATH "/Bootstrap.php"
bootstrap.class = "Bootstrap"

appnamespace = "Application"

resources.frontController.controllerDirectory = APPLICATION_PATH "/modules/frontend/controllers"
resources.frontController.params.displayExceptions = 0
resources.frontController.moduleDirectory = APPLICATION_PATH "/modules"
;resources.frontController.plugins[] = "Plugin_LayoutAsign"
resources.modules[] =

resources.layout.layout = "layout"
resources.layout.layoutPath = APPLICATION_PATH "/layouts/scripts"
resources.view[] =

resources.db.adapter = "pdo_mysql"
resources.db.params.host = "localhost"
resources.db.params.username = "root"
resources.db.params.password = ""
resources.db.params.dbname = "webhostinges"
resources.db.params.charset = "utf8"
resources.db.isDefaultTableAdapter = true

My for my application structure see attachment.

Has someone an idea whats going wrong ?

Thanks in advance

I have a weird issue;

When I run the "$application->bootstrap();" function in the index.php file, bootstrap of all my modules are run no matter the module I'm in.

/admin/ AND /index
will load:
application\Bootstrap.php
application\modules\default\Bootstrap.php
application\modules\admin\Bootstrap.php

I believe tat with a lot of modules the application will start to run slower!

This didn't work for me. I get the following error when trying to view any URL:

Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Zend_Controller_Dispatcher_Exception' with message 'Invalid controller specified (error)' in /usr/share/ZendFrameworkCli/library/Zend/Controller/Dispatcher/Standard.php:248 Stack trace: #0 /usr/share/ZendFrameworkCli/library/Zend/Controller/Front.php(954): Zend_Controller_Dispatcher_Standard->dispatch(Object(Zend_Controller_Request_Http), Object(Zend_Controller_Response_Http)) #1 /usr/share/ZendFrameworkCli/library/Zend/Application/Bootstrap/Bootstrap.php(97): Zend_Controller_Front->dispatch() #2 /usr/share/ZendFrameworkCli/library/Zend/Application.php(366): Zend_Application_Bootstrap_Bootstrap->run() #3 /Users/Martin/Dropbox/Repositories/realestatecms/public/index.php(26): Zend_Application->run() #4 {main} Next exception 'Zend_Controller_Exception' with message 'Invalid controller specified (error)#0 /usr/share/ZendFrameworkCli/library/Zend/Controller/Front.php(954): Zend_Controller_Dispatcher_Standard->dispatch(Object(Zend_Controller_Request_Http), Object(Zend_Controller_Response_Http)) in /usr/share/ZendFrameworkCli/library/Zend/Controller/Plugin/Broker.php on line 336
