Why Modules::run() doesn't working.
Here is my code
modules/home/controller/home.php
Code:
class Home extends MX_Controller {
function __construct()
{
parent::__construct();
}
function index()
{
$this->load->view('home_view');
}
}Code:
<h1>Welcome to CodeIgniter!</h1>
<?php echo Modules::run('home/test'); ?>
<p>The page you are looking at is being generated dynamically by CodeIgniter.</p>
<p><br />Page rendered in {elapsed_time} seconds</p>Code:
class Test extends MX_Controller {
function __construct()
{
parent::__construct();
}
function index()
{
echo 'something';
}
}and in the log file I get this error
ERROR - 2011-03-31 08:22:16 --> Module controller failed to run: home/test
Help please

Your code is attempting to run the home controller test method. Try:
Code:
<?php echo Modules::run('home/test/index'); ?>Modular Separation - PHP5 (Modules) - El Forum - 03-30-2011

Code:
<?php echo Modules::run('home/test/index'); ?>Thanks, it's working now.
But, should I always type method name? including index method?

I can not run controller with same name even though the module is different.
modules/events/controllers/latest.php
Code:
class Latest extends MX_Controller {
function __construct()
{
parent::__construct();
}
function index()
{
echo 'several latest events';
}
}Code:
class Latest extends MX_Controller {
function __construct()
{
parent::__construct();
}
function index()
{
echo 'several latest news';
}
}Code:
<?php echo Modules::run('news/latest/index'); ?>
<br />
<?php echo Modules::run('events/latest/index'); ?>several latest news
several latest news
Why?

Why?, Because PHP does not allow you to load two classes with the same class declaration.

Is there currently any built-in method with the system to return a list of available modules?
I'm trying to figure out a way to create a sort of user-side pick-and-choose module manager, so that if I have a module for an RSS feed and a module for a mailing list, user A can opt for the RSS, user B can opt for the mailing list, and user C can go with both, but I need to know that the modules exist first to give them the choice.
I also want to make sure I'm not misusing this - "core" Controller, Model and View files for my system can/should still be run from the original application/____ folders and not application/modules/[so forth], right? I assumed this was the case, though the example on the wiki made this a little unclear.

Quote:Is there currently any built-in method with the system to return a list of available modules?The way I've handled this before was to keep track of everything in the database. You can build a "modules" table, with columns for name, folder_name, and active.
I’m trying to figure out a way to create a sort of user-side pick-and-choose module manager, so that if I have a module for an RSS feed and a module for a mailing list, user A can opt for the RSS, user B can opt for the mailing list, and user C can go with both, but I need to know that the modules exist first to give them the choice.
The difference between name and folder_name are:
Name: Human readable
Folder_name: the actual module folder name
This is so you can give your users options for 'RSS' and "Maillist", but name your modules 'rssfeed' and 'mail_list'.
The active column is a boolean field, so you can turn access to your modules on and off.
If you don't want to go the database route, the only other options I can think of is to do a scandir of the modules directory, then loop through the returned array using is_dir to make sure the current element is a directory, and not a file (make sure you also check for '.' and '..').

That's essentially what I want to do, but I need to know the plugin exists before it can be added to the database. Preferably, I'd like to be able to make adding modules in as simple as dropping the module into the directory and running an "Update modules" method. It sounds like the best way to do this would be the scandir method you outlined?
