Ah, yes.. Got it, thanks. Did you by any chance just update the link in your forum sig? Pretty sure I tried that just now and it was still pointing to the /wiki page.. 😊

First of all, thank you so much wiredesignz for this wonderful HMVC solution in CodeIgniter.

Anyway guys I have a question about the best practice in building decoupled modules using HMVC. Maybe someone can help me here - http://ellislab.com/forums/viewthread/230434/

Thanks in advance 😊

I’m building a multilingual website and have organized parts of it in HMVC modules.
In controllers I have this:

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

class Site extends MX_Controller {

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

    public function index(){
        $this->lang->load('site_language');
        $this->load->view('site_header');
        $this->load->view('site_content');
        $this->load->view('site_footer');
    }
}

In site_header view are country flags images with links for switching languages:

$path = 'http://mywebsite.com/images/flags';
echo anchor($this->lang->switch_uri('de'), img($path.'/de.png'));
echo anchor($this->lang->switch_uri('fr'), img($path.'/fr.png'));

It doesn’t show the flags. It worked in MVC.
I’m autoloading URL helper but it also does not work if I load it from the module’s controller.
If I put simple a href= and img src= HTML tags, everything works fine, but I want to have only one view file for flags used to switch language. Using HTML tags that would be not so simple.
I’ve tried creating a flags module, but it also does not show flags.
Maybe I should make a function which extends URL helper, I have no other idea.
What else could cause this problem?

Update - The problem is solved:
https://github.com/EllisLab/CodeIgniter/wiki/CodeIgniter-2.1-internationalization-i18n

I was using i18n version without this comment:
/*
in case you use it with the HMVC modular extension
uncomment this and remove the other lines
load the MX_Loader class
*/

Hi wiredesignz, greate job I’m using HMVC from previous versions and works excelent !!

For anyone that wants to have multiple applications sharing a ‘common hmvc core’, I have a ‘redy-to-go’ Codeginiter 2.1.2 + HMVC 5.4.

Example:

/application1  <-  applicacion directory as Codeginiter standard
/application2  <-  applicacion directory as Codeginiter standard
/application3  <-  applicacion directory as Codeginiter standard

/common  <- where resides common core, libraries, modules, views, helper, thir_party (as HMCV..), etc…
/system   <- codeigniter core

/wwwapp1   <- document root for   application1 (example: <a href="http://www.app1.com">http://www.app1.com</a>)
/wwwapp2   <- document root for   application2 (example: <a href="http://www.app2.com">http://www.app2.com</a> )
/wwwapp3   <- document root for   application3 (example: <a href="http://www.app3.com">http://www.app3.com</a>)

Application1, 2 and 3,  can have it’s own domain or subdomain, sharing all the common modules (/common/modules), and also can have it’s own modules (or same, overwritting common modules)

Now, with Zend libraries (2.0.5) and Codeigniter Zend loader !!!

Hey,

Is it possible to use a /language folder in a Module?

Greeets

Hi MaxG,

Yes, you can have a .../modules/mymodule/language/english/example_lang.php

To load: $this->load->language(‘mymodule/example’);

=====================================================================================
CI 2.1.2 + HMVC 5.4 + Common shared folder for multiple applications

Okay,

It works, thank you.

Hi guys…

I’m a PHP noob and this questions might be trivial…

1, When I do var_dump($this) in two installation of CI, one is vanilla CI, the other is CI+HMVC, I get different result.
  a. Can someone explain if this is on purpose or it’s just inevitable…
  b. Does this effect in any way the way someone code on CI.
  c. Is it something that can be rectified by some code clean up? If yes, I’d like to try when I have the time.

2. In Base.php, the last line says

new CI

$CI = new CI;

as I said, I’m a very novice programmer.

So I’m still new to CI and HMVC but I have been messing around a bit and was looking at hooks and noticed that there is no auto loading of hooks from the module’s folder so here’s what I came up with

MX/Hooks.php

class MX_Hooks extends CI_Hooks 
{
    /**
     * Initialize the Hooks Preferences
     *
     * @access  private
     * @return  void
     */
    function _initialize()
    {
        $CFG =& load_class('Config', 'core');
        // If hooks are not enabled in the config file
        // there is nothing else to do
        if ($CFG->item('enable_hooks') == FALSE)
        {
            return;
        }
        // Grab the "hooks" definition file.
        // If there are no hooks, we're done.
       if (defined('ENVIRONMENT') AND is_file(APPPATH.'config/'.ENVIRONMENT.'/hooks.php'))
        {
            include(APPPATH.'config/'.ENVIRONMENT.'/hooks.php');
        }
        elseif (is_file(APPPATH.'config/hooks.php'))
        {
            include(APPPATH.'config/hooks.php');
       }
         $path = APPPATH . 'modules/';
         $modules = $this->directory_map($path, 3);
          foreach ($modules as $key => $value) {
                if (is_file(APPPATH."modules/{$key}/config/hooks.php")){
                    include(APPPATH."modules/{$key}/config/hooks.php");
                }

        }
        if ( ! isset($hook) OR ! is_array($hook))
        {
            return;
        }
   
        $this->hooks =& $hook;
        $this->enabled = TRUE;
  
    }
    public function directory_map($source_dir, $directory_depth = 0, $hidden = FALSE)
    {
        if ($fp = @opendir($source_dir))
        {
            $filedata   = array();
            $new_depth  = $directory_depth - 1;
            $source_dir = rtrim($source_dir, DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR).DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR;

            while (FALSE !== ($file = readdir($fp)))
            {
                // Remove '.', '..', and hidden files [optional]
                if ( ! trim($file, '.') OR ($hidden == FALSE && $file[0] == '.'))
                {
                    continue;
                }

                if (($directory_depth < 1 OR $new_depth > 0) && @is_dir($source_dir.$file))
                {
                    $filedata[$file] = $this->directory_map($source_dir.$file.DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR, $new_depth, $hidden);
                }
                else
                {
                    $filedata[] = $file;
                }
            }

            closedir($fp);
            return $filedata;
        }

        return FALSE;
    }
}

and in the Core folder a file name MY_Hooks.php

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

/* load the MX_Hooks class */
require APPPATH."third_party/MX/Hooks.php";

class MY_Hooks extends MX_Hooks {}

its a quick and dirty solution so any (constructive) comments are welcomed

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

CodeIgniter version 1.7 is no longer supported.

Thank you wiredesignz for Great Extension but i have question i’m already using the extension and now i want to integrate phpUnit and i don’t know if this possible with HMVC extension?

Hello,

I’ve got a little problem with HMVC. I call directly the URL of my module, and I’ve got a memory limit error in :

Loader.php line 55

in the foreach loop.

The error shows after 1 ou 2 minutes ...

Never had such an error.
Any ideas please ?

Thanks,
Renaud

be sure that you extend MX not CI

. A new object is instatiated without assigning it to a variable. How is it different from the common way ie.

$CI = new CI;

as I said, I’m a very novice programmer.

katanama, HMVC isn’t ‘over’ CI, then must to extend with CI::$APP, this is the major difference.

Seem the line like .... /* references to ci loader variables */.

Would be that you have something in your code that makes recursive assignment of variables. This loop copy all vars from CI to Loader (this), then if there are variables that points one to other, then the loop never ends.
