Playing around with latest CI 2.0 and HMVC - clean install.

<Snip>

So as a test I added a ‘model’ to the ‘welcome’ module and loaded it

welcome.php

<?php

class Welcome extends Controller {

    function Welcome()
    {
        parent::Controller();    
        $this->load->model('welcome_m');
    }

Believe you need to do

class Welcome extends MX_Controller {

    function _construct()
    {
        parent::_construct();    
        $this->load->model('welcome_m');
    }

@WhIteSidE, The MX_Config issue has been answered earlier in this thread. Please search before asking.

@coffey, You will need to learn how to upgrade your code to CI 2.0 before learning how to use Modular Extensions.

@ardinotow, a blank page is due to an error (obviously) stopping your script but not being reported properly. It is a PHP setup problem.

@wiredesignz, point taken .... but actually this is exactly the process I was starting, I just hadn’t expected this error which is why I removed my module and tried to very simply add a call to a basic model within my working ‘welcome’ controller and when it errored up on the same line instantiating the class - class Welcome_m extends Model - I thought maybe this was something others had experienced.

But I shall do another totally clean install tomorrow with the latest versions and see what happens… this aboration will doubtless evaporate as they so often do.

Have you try using PHP 5.3.1 too and on what OS ? If this is only a PHP setup problem I will not take seriously and start coding with earlier LAMPP version 😊.
Thanks Wire

I was having a problem with blank screen after a install of the new HMVC code (1.7.2), In my case I tracked it down to the /third_party/MX/Config.php file, the config file under System/libraries/config.php was already included (so new file not loaded), so after a rename of the file (not class inside) my problem went away.

And you have broken the installation. Good luck with that.
File names are not the issue.

Modular Extensions - HMVC bitbucket wiki is updated.

As you say @inSiteFX

// WRONG!
class Welcome_m extends Model {

// CORRECT!
class Welcome_m extends CI_Model {

Thanks. It suited me to create a model extending CI_Model (autoloaded via config/autoload).

<?php if (! defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access');

// File to contain CRUD functions

class Model extends CI_Model {

    function __construct() {
        parent::__construct();
    }

}
//end of file: Model.php
//location: /application/models/Model.php

Really not much of a change here anyway as most of my previous 1.7 module models were in themselves descended from an extended ‘crud’ base model anyway.

BTW big thanks to @wiredesignz for all his fantastic work. Now where is that donate button…..

Thanks coffey, much appreciated.

It looks to me like callback functions don’t work when I extend from MX_Controller. My login callback was the one that made me spot this:

<?php if (!defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');
/**
 * @package     MizuCMS
 * @subpackage     Controllers
 */
class Dashboard extends CMS_Controller
{
     // Admin: Control Panel
     function index()
    {
        $this->template->build('cms/dashboard');
    }
    
    // Admin: Log in
    function login()
    {
        // Call validation and set rules
        $this->load->library('form_validation');

        // Set the validation rules
        $this->form_validation->set_rules(array(
            array(
                'field' => 'email',
                'label' => lang('user_email_label'),
                'rules' => 'required|trim|callback__check_login'
            ),
            array(
                'field' => 'password',
                'label' => lang('user_password_label'),
                'rules' => 'required|min_length[6]|max_length[20]'
            ),
        ));

        // If the validation worked, or the user is already logged in
        if ($this->form_validation->run() or $this->ion_auth->logged_in())
        {
            redirect('cms');
        }
        
        else
        {
            $data->messages['error'] = validation_errors();
        }
        
        $this->template->set_layout(FALSE);
        $this->template->build('cms/login', $data);
    }
    
    function logout()
    {
        $this->ion_auth->logout();
        redirect('cms/login');
    }    
    
    // Callback From: login()
    function _check_login($email)
    {
        if ( ! $this->ion_auth->login($email, $this->input->post('password')))
        {
            $this->form_validation->set_message('_check_login', $this->ion_auth->errors());
            return FALSE;
        }

        return TRUE;
    }
}

_check_login() is never called at all. I threw a exit(‘hai!’) in the first line of the method and got nothing, I’d have a go debugging the error but I’ve already spent almost an hour of work time getting this far. >.<

Ran into this issue as well.

The form validation library expects callbacks to be methods of $this->CI (set in the library constructor, when you load the form validation library), which probably points to something else than your module controller…

I have explained this so many times.
Set the Form_validation $CI instance to the object you require to respond to callbacks.

// Call validation and set rules
$this->load->library('form_validation');

//Set the callback object
$this->form_validation->CI = $this;

This doesn’t seem like an amazingly clean solution… Is there no way to build support for this into ME?
