Modular Extensions - Version 4.3

[eluser]wiredesignz[/eluser]
If you asked for a tutorial, here we go, I grabbed Developer13's Inktype blog application and ported it over to use modules. Thanks D13
Here's a few code samples:

application/controllers/public_controller.php

Code:

<?php if (!defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');
/**
* Public controller handles all requests
*
* Requires .htaccess
*
* $config['index_page'] = "";
* $route['(.*)'] = 'public_controller';
*
**/
class Public_Controller extends Controller
{
    function Public_Controller()
    {
        parent::Controller();
        //load the template model
        $this->load->model('mdl_templates');
    }
    
    function _remap()
    {        
        //get the route or set the defaults
        $module = 'blog';
        $method = $this->uri->segment(2) OR $method = 'home';
        
        // get some settings for the blog
        $settings = modules::run('blog/settings');
        
        //load the theme
        $template = $this->mdl_templates->get_default_template();
        
        $templates = explode(',', $template->loadorder);
        $templateName = 'templates/' . $template->name . '/';

        //render the partials
        foreach ($templates as $partial)
        {
            if ($partial == 'content')
            {
                //output the content view
                $content = modules::run($module, $templateName, $method);
                $this->output->append_output($content);
            }
            else
            {
                //output the fixed views
                $this->load->view($templateName.$partial, $settings);
            }
        }
    }
}

application/modules/blog/controllers/settings.php

Code:

<?php if (!defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');
/**
* Blog settings
*
**/
class Settings extends Module
{
    function Settings()
    {
        parent::Module();
        //load the settings models
        $this->load->model('mdl_settings');
        $this->load->model('mdl_categories');
        $this->load->model('mdl_blogroll');
        $this->load->model('mdl_pages');
        
        //set up the pages model
        $this->mdl_pages->publishedonly = TRUE;
    }
    
    function index()
    {
        // get the blog settings
        $settings = $this->mdl_settings->get();    
        $settings->categories = $this->mdl_categories->get();
        $settings->blogroll = $this->mdl_blogroll->get();
        $settings->pages = $this->mdl_pages->get();
        
        return $settings;
    }
}

application/modules/blog/controllers/blog.php

Code:

<?php if (!defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');
/**
* Blog module
*
**/
class Blog extends Module
{
    var $posts;
    var $page;
    var $numpages;
    var $prevpage;
    var $nextpage;
    var $nav;
    
    function Blog()
    {
        parent::Module();
        //load the utility helpers
        $this->load->helper('utils');
        
        //set up the posts model
        $this->load->model('mdl_posts');
        $this->mdl_posts->parse_vars = TRUE;
        $this->mdl_posts->paginate = TRUE;
        $this->mdl_posts->publishedonly = TRUE;
    }
    
    function error($method, $data = '')        
    {
        //trap unknown method calls, suppress error message
        if ($content = parent::error($method, $data, FALSE))
        {
            return $content;
        }
        
        return 'Page not found';
    }
}
