Need Help With Modular Extensions - El Forum - 11-15-2010

Ok, I have installed ME and trying to build a modular CMS. However, things aren't going well for me. Here are the errors I have:
A PHP Error was encountered
Severity: Notice
Message: Undefined property: Admin::$parser
Filename: MX/Loader.php
Line Number: 143
A PHP Error was encountered
Severity: Notice
Message: Undefined property: Theme_module::$theme_model
Filename: controllers/theme_module.php
Line Number: 19
Fatal error: Call to a member function get_page_info() on a non-object in C:\xampp\htdocs\cms\system\application\modules\theme\controllers\theme_module.php on line 19
I am trying to load the info as I normally would with CI such as:$this->load->library('parser'); and $this->load->model('theme/theme_model');
Can anyone please tell me what I am doing wrong. I am pretty sure this is allowed from what I have read in the docs. Thanks.

Post some code man, the errors means nothing without seeing your code.

Here is the controller calling the theme module:
Code:
<?php
session_start();
class Admin extends Controller{
function __construct(){
parent::__construct();
$this->load->helper('url');
}
function index(){
//Lets load modules
$this->load->module('auth/auth_module');
if($this->auth_module->check_login()==FALSE){
$this->login();
}
}
function login(){
$this->load->module('auth/auth_module');
$this->load->module('theme/theme_module');
//Lets check if user is logged in
if($this->auth_module->check_login()==FALSE){
$data=array(
'site_base_url'=>base_url()
);
$this->theme_module->build('default', 'login_template.htm', 'admin-login');
}
}
}
?>Then here is the controller for the theme module
Code:
<?php
class Theme_module extends Controller{
//Load some default values
function __construct()
{
parent::__construct();
$this->load->helper('file');
$this->load->helper('url');
}
function build($theme='default', $layout='default.php', $slug='home'){
$this->load->library('parser');
$this->load->model('theme/theme_model');
//Lets grab the page and its info from db
$page_info=$this->theme_model->get_page_info($slug);
//Lets get the css style pages
$css_pages='<style type="text/css">';
$css_files=get_filenames('system/application/views/'.$theme.'/css', TRUE);
foreach($css_files as $css){
$css_pages.=read_file($css);
}
$css_pages.="</style>";
//Lets setup the variables for page
if(count($page_info)>0){
$meta_description=$page_info['meta_description'];
$meta_keywords=$page_info['meta_keywords'];
$meta_title=$page_info['meta_title'];
$css=$page_info['css'];
$js=$page_info['js'];
$title=$page_info['title'];
$body=$page_info['body'];
}else{
$meta_description='';
$meta_keywords='';
$meta_title='';
$css='';
$js='';
$title='';
$body='';
}
//Put data together
$data=array(
"meta_description"=>$meta_description,
"meta_keywords"=>$meta_keywords,
"meta_title"=>$meta_title,
"css_pages"=>$css_pages,
"css"=>$css,
"js"=>$js,
"title"=>$title,
"body"=>$body
);
$this->parser->parse($theme.'/'.$layout, $data);
}
}
?>Then the model for the theme module
Code:
<?php
class Theme_model extends Model{
function __construct(){
parent::__construct();
}
function get_page_info($slug){
$this->load->library('database');
$slug=$this->db->escape($slug);
$get_page_info_query="SELECT * FROM `pages` WHERE `slug`=".$slug;
$get_page_info_result=$this->db->query($get_page_info_query);
return $get_page_info_result->row_array();
}
}

Ok you are using HMVC features of Modular Extensions by loading modules so your controllers need to extend the MX_Controller class. Try that first.

Extending the MX_Controller on the theme module controller, I now get this error: Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class CI in C:\xampp\htdocs\cms\system\application\third_party\MX\Base.php on line 76. BTW, thanks for the help.

Extend MX_Contoller in all controllers. You're not even loading a module in the Theme controller. You are in the Admin controller.

you are the man. If I am not mistaken, you are the guy that created this? Also, I thought you only had to extend the MX_Controller if you were like viewing the module by the URL? Anyways, thanks for helping me out and creating the kewl module lib.

No worries. You must extend MX_Controller whenever loading modules or using modules::run

Also, what do you mean by not loading a module in theme? theme is the module. am I not using the way this was intended? pretty much what I wanted to do, was create a cms that uses modules so that I could drop modules in and then a coder/user could integrate the module into the cms pretty easily. Not exactly plug n play but more of using a cms to customize an already built module.

I meant the main controller (Admin) needs to extend MX_Controller more so than the module controller itself. You had it backwards for a moment by extending the Theme controller and not Admin.
The main controller needs to be able to locate the module controller properly and MX_Controller allows this. It does not hurt to always extend MX_Controller in any case.
