Zend Framework中特定于模块的Controller插件

Question

My Zend Framework project is divided into certain Modules. Each Module has some specific Controller Plugins.

Now, the problem is that all plugins get loaded and registered (and thus, called) - no matter which module the user is trying to access.

I could test in which module we are and stop execution directly in the plugins, but I would have to do this in each and every plugin...

Is there an elegant way to register only module-specific plugins? Or am I trying to solve the wrong problem here?

Answer 1

This is an example of Module specific Plugins

Taken from http://weierophinney.net/matthew/archives/234-Module-Bootstraps-in-Zend-Framework-Dos-and-Donts.html

class Foomodule_Plugin_Layout extends Zend_Controller_Plugin_Abstract
{
    public function dispatchLoopStartup(Zend_Controller_Request_Abstract $request)
    {
        if ('foomodule' != $request->getModuleName()) {
            // If not in this module, return early
            return;
        }

        // Change layout
        Zend_Layout::getMvcInstance()->setLayout('foomodule');
    }
}

UPDATE: in case you missed , there other ways listed in the same article above :

Isn't there a better way to do this?

Yes, likely there are better ways to accomplish this. The true problem is that modules are really second-class citizens in ZF currently. There are a few neat ideas floating around: Kathryn's Active module config

Jeroen's Moduleconfig

Matthijs' ModuleConfig
