Modular Extensions - HMVC version 5.4 is available from Bitbucket. (see my signature below)

CodeIgniter version 1.7 is no longer supported.

Just updated a project of mine to ci 2.0 official and HMVC 5.4, and wanted to thank you for the excellent work
you made with hmvc 😊

Thanks again wiredesignz. Your extensions has helped a lot.

Thank you ver much, wiredesignz…

Hey wiredesignz,

Thanks, fantastic.  One quick point - it seems I can not use the get_instance() funtion in a library when the controller has inherited from MX_Controller.  Any plans to change this?  Or should I be finding a workaround for each of my libraries?

(I raised this in an earlier post, http://ellislab.com/forums/viewthread/179478/)

Much appreciated,

Kim

With HMVC you need to pass into or set the controller instance for the library before using it.

$this->load->library('form_validation');
$this->form_validation->CI =& $this;

/* or */

$this->load->library('form_validation', array('CI' => $this));

And then process the parameters inside the library constructor yourself.

Thanks.

Thanks, wiredesignz.

I have a doubt: Can I load a config file from a module using application/config/autoload.php $autoload?

Hi wiredesignz,

Another quick point.  When I’m not using HMVC, I can access controller properties in a view using $this->variable.  As soon as MY_Controller inherits from MX_Controller, however, the property is no longer available.

I’ve been reading up on the CI object hierarchy, including this article by David Upton, http://www.packtpub.com/article/codeigniter-and-objects, but I’m having difficulty understanding how this changes when we use HMVC…

Any assistance appreciated…, Kim

most useful and very much appreciated!

thanks, wiredesignz!

The Modular Extensions HMVC, Bitbucket repository has been updated.

The Modules::$locations array may now be set in the application/config.php file. ie:

/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Modules locations
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
*/
    $config['modules_locations'] = array(
        APPPATH.'modules/' => '../modules/',
    );

With HMVC you need to pass into or set the controller instance for the library before using it.

$this->load->library('form_validation');
$this->form_validation->CI = $this;

/* or */

$this->load->library('form_validation', array('CI' => $this));

And then process the parameters inside the library constructor.

Hmm, i never had to do that, it just works like normal CI does.
Any thoughts why it is working without doing your suggested trick ?

Hi wiredesignz!

First of all thanks to codeigniter and all of its friendly users.

Im a big fan of codeigniter and HMVC and I’d been using this for a couple of years.

I have issues regarding codeigniter 2.0 and HMVC 5.4.

I try to use the new feature of codeigniter 2.0 which is the so called package. Using CI 2.0 I autoload the foo_bar folder that contains class called Sample with method name called tae. here is my class located in APPPATH.‘third_party/foo_bar/libraries’:

<?php 
class Sample
{
    function tae()
    {
        echo 'Sample output ===!';    
    }
}

my autoload.php looks like:

/*
| -------------------------------------------------------------------
|  Auto-load Packges
| -------------------------------------------------------------------
| Prototype:
|
|  $autoload['packages'] = array(APPPATH.'third_party', '/usr/local/shared');
|
*/

$autoload['packages'] = array(APPPATH.'third_party/foo_bar');

when I try to load the ‘Sample’ class I get some error:

An Error Was Encountered
Unable to load the requested class: sample

Here is my controller:

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

class Welcome extends MX_Controller {

    function __construct()
    {
        parent::__construct();
        
        $this->load->library('sample');// error occurs here
        
        $this->sample->tae();
    }

    function index()
    {
        $this->load->view('welcome_message');
    }
}

/* End of file welcome.php */
/* Location: ./application/controllers/welcome.php */

but when I try to use the add_package_path:

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

class Welcome extends MX_Controller {

    function __construct()
    {
        parent::__construct();
        
        $this->load->add_package_path(APPPATH.'third_party/foo_bar');
        $this->load->library('sample');
        
        $this->sample->tae();
    }

    function index()
    {
        $this->load->view('welcome_message');
    }
}

/* End of file welcome.php */
/* Location: ./application/controllers/welcome.php */

No errors occured. So the problem is the autoloading of package doesnt working. Some help is appreciated. Im using the latest codeigniter reactor 2.0 and HMVC version 5.4

Thanks and more power! ^.^

Yes, I haven’t updated Modular Extensions yet for autoloading package paths. I will do this soon.

You could copy the CI_Loader::_ci_autoloader code for autoloading packages and add it to the MX_Loader class if you need this urgently.

@wiredesignz: Thank you so much for a rapid reply!

God Bless! ^.^
