Hi Vadim,
Not sure if this answers your question - but this is my solution to
bootstrapping and encapsulating modules. I would be happy to hear others
feedback.
I'm using the following module bootstrap class to bootstrap my modules ... I
have plans to extend the Module_Bootstrap class to do this automatically
(similar to how is does autoloading), but in the mean time I have this.
class Module1_Bootstrap extends Zend_Application_Module_Bootstrap
{
protected function _initModuleConfig()
{
$moduleConfig = new Zend_Config_Ini(APPLICATION_PATH . '/modules/' .
$moduleName . '/configs/module.ini', APPLICATION_ENV);
Zend_Registry::set($moduleName, $moduleConfig);
}
}
This is the directory structure of my application. All module configs are
placed in module/configs/module.ini and loaded via the module bootstrap.
This allows me to "black box" my modules. I really wish the default module
acted the same way so I could also encapsulate it's config. But since it
doesn't all default configs end up in application.ini
/application
/configs
/application.ini
/modules
/default
/controllers
/models
/views
/services
/module1
/configs
/module.ini
/controllers
/models
/services
/views
/bootstrap.php
/module2
/configs
/module.ini
/controllers
/models
/views
/bootstrap.php
A thanks to Keith Pope ... Your
example<http://code.google.com/p/zendframeworkstorefront/source/browse/#svn/>store
front code got me moving in the right direction a few weeks back.
