ZF2 Routing structure for multiple modules

Question

I am building a ZF2 application called "EcommerceUI". This application, tries to make use of multiple sub modules like, "LogsUI", "ReportsUI" etc.. My structure is as under:

ecommerce-ui
 -->config
 -->data
 -->module
     -->EcommerceUI
     -->LogsUI
     -->ReportsUI
 -->public
    -->js
    -->css
    -->images
    -->.htaccess
    -->index.php
 -->vendor
     -->ThirdPartyModule1
     -->ThirdPartyModule2

How do I create the routing such that:

http://ecommerceui  -> goes to ecommerceui/ecommerceui/index

http://ecommerceui/logsui -> goes to ecommerceui/logs/index

Also, how can I make each module share JS, CSS, Images in the public folder?

You need to have your routes set up correctly in your module.config.php file.

This page in the ZF2 User Guide guides you through the process of setting up routes: http://framework.zend.com/manual/2.0/en/user-guide/routing-and-controllers.html

In ecommerce-ui/module/LogsUI/config/module.config.php the routes should be something like this:

<?php
 return array(
'controllers' => array(
    'invokables' => array(
        'LogsUI\Controller\LogsUI' => 'LogsUI\Controller\LogsUIController',
    ),
),

'router' => array(
    'routes' => array(
        'logsui' => array(
                'defaults' => array(
                    'controller' => 'LogsUI\Controller\LogsUI',
                    'action'     => 'index',
                ),
            ),
        ),
    ),
),

'view_manager' => array(
    'template_path_stack' => array(
        'logsui' => __DIR__ . '/../view',
    ),
),
);
