Its interesting that the default CI driver->load($child) method goes looking in all Package paths, when a child driver by convention lives in sub-directory of the parent. I can see your code resolves that neatly.
I simply altered the shorter __get($child) magic method because there is less code to override - so less chance of clash with future CI changes. I guess HMCV already changes a lot of core code anyhow and this risks that load($child) calls still fail.
Another small change I needed to make - from line 196 of third_party/MX/Modules.php - to load drivers/libraries across modules:
PHP Code:
foreach($modules as $module => $subpath)
{
$fullpath = $location.$module.'/'.$base.$subpath;
if ($base == 'libraries/' OR $base == 'models/')
{
if(is_file($fullpath.ucfirst($file_ext))) return array($fullpath, ucfirst($file));
/*
* EDITS
* check for drivers loaded across modules in a subdir with same name as file
* the core library loader does the same trick, but MX one does not
*/
else if($base == 'libraries/')
{
$fullpath = $fullpath.ucfirst($file).'/'; //file here is /classname
if(is_file($fullpath.ucfirst($file_ext))) return array($fullpath, ucfirst($file));
}
/*
* END EDIT
*/
}
else
/* load non-class files */
if (is_file($fullpath.$file_ext)) return array($fullpath, $file);
}
This allows me to load a driver with $this->load('module/driver') across modules as shown in the code above.
