Files structure - El Forum - 04-13-2011
[eluser]Gerep[/eluser]
Hi,
I'm trying to find a good way to separate my files into folders.
For instance, I'm saving all my classes related to user on
Quote:controllers/user/user.php
controllers/user/login.php
controllers/user/amnesia.php
and so on...
The bad thing is that when I call the controller user.php I have to place the user folder on my url.
Is there a way to take it or another way to organize my files?
Thanks in advance for any help.

I'd try modules (such as Modular Extensions) to keep your application files in modules and nice and separated:

If you want to organize files other than controllers and views, check out packages as well:

I have a similiar question about the file structure, hope u dont mind I also post in your tread.
Lets say i have companies
Code:
company/view/
company/edit/I also have persons
Code:
person/view/
person/edit/And then I would like to add a new person and, bind him/her to an company, what is the nicest or more correct file structure aproach?
could I make company as a folder and then a Controller edit/add? like..
Code:
company/edit/person
or person/company/edit ?Am I thinking in acceptable MVC terms here?

donjim,
What you are talking about is more application organization than MVC - your URL structure is really up to you, and it is dictated by what the needs of your application are building, so whether you use company/edit/person or person/company/edit, is more of a organization question.
When you edit a person, why not have a drop down for a company as well instead of having a separate method for just editing the person's company? That way you could have person/edit and have everything in one place.
I'd recommend getting away from thinking of the first URI segment as a folder though, with different controllers for edit and view and other operations like that. If you have a company controller, then you can have edit and view functions within those, and keep things a lot cleaner. You can use routes to route more complex urls to your controllers as well.
Hope that helps!
Adam

With HMVC your structure would be like this:
Code:
modules - root of modules.
-- module name - your controller must match the module name.
---- controllers - your controllers are here
---- config
---- helpers
---- libraries
---- models
---- etc
---- views - your view files are here
-- another module etcInsiteFX
