Modular Extensions - HMVC version 5.4 | Libraries & Helpers

#46 / Apr 22, 2011 12:01am

All the properties in the core Loader library are now protected, HMVC doesn’t work because of this.
I know changing the core is not a good solution, but the only 2 solutions are:
1. Go to an older CI version, 2.0.2 should work fine
2. Change the Loader library in system/core/Loader.php:

public $_ci_ob_level;
public $_ci_view_paths        = array();
public $_ci_library_paths    = array();
public $_ci_model_paths        = array();
public $_ci_helper_paths    = array();
public $_base_classes        = array(); // Set by the controller class
public $_ci_cached_vars        = array();
public $_ci_classes            = array();
public $_ci_loaded_files    = array();
public $_ci_models            = array();
public $_ci_helpers            = array();
public $_ci_varmap            = array('unit_test' => 'unit', 
                                        'user_agent' => 'agent');

It’s a quick and dirty fix, but it works 😉

Pushed an update to Bitbucket to resolve $_ci_cached_vars error. Further updates to follow.

Tried to use your last update and I got these errors:

Fatal error: Access level to MX_Loader::_ci_load() must be public (as in class CI_Loader) in E:\web\ci_test\application\third_party\MX\Loader.php on line 378

turning _ci_load to public produces

Fatal error: Access level to MX_Loader::_ci_get_component() must be public (as in class CI_Loader) in E:\web\ci_test\application\third_party\MX\Loader.php on line 378

And if _ci_get_component is turned to public everything seems to work as expected in a vanilla installation.

@osci, Yes thanks, that will be a Reactor and Core CI version conflict too. Reactor is using protected methods. I will update again to use public methods.

Thanks for the info wiredesignz.
I am basically using core for my commercial projects.
I’ll check it there too and repost.

The vanilla test was on reactor since I wanted to check my projects on reactor too.
I know I might be asking too much but could we have another branch for reactor and another for core?

Thanks again for your contributions.

Hi wiredesignz, was I wrongly extending MX_Lang or is there not a native way to extend that with HMVC? Also, is there a bug with $this->router->fetch_module() not always returning the correct module in different contexts?

Hi! I’m starting to learn HMVC and I really think that it can do wonders. It might be what I need to actually create an admin-member-non-member website.

I’m just running encountering a problem. It seems there’s a problem with calling HMVC from the view. I’m currently following the Net Tuts HMVC: an introduction and application. Let me explain:

Here are the functions:

THE CONTROLLER FUNCTION UNDER “LOGIN” MODULE:
```
function cp()  
{  
    if( $this->session->userdata('username') )  
    {  
        // load the model for this controller  
        $this->load->model('membership_model');  
        // Get User Details from Database  
        $user = $this->membership_model->get_member_details();  
        if( !$user )  
        {  
            // No user found  
            return false;  
        }  
        else  
        {  
            // display our widget  
            $this->load->view('user_widget', $user);  
        }  
    }  
    else  
    {  
        // There is no session so we return nothing  
        return false;  
    }  
}
```
and

THE VIEW UNDER THE “SITE” MODULE:
```
<!DOCTYPE html>  
<html lang="en">  
<head>  
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">  
    <title>untitled</title>  
</head>  
<body>  
    <?php echo modules::run('modules/login/cp');?>  
    <h2>Welcome Back, <?php echo $this->session->userdata('username'); ?>!</h2><p>  <br />
     This section represents the area that only logged in members can access.  <br />
</body>  <br />
</html>
```
THE PROBLEM:

I can’t seem to call cp() from the view using <?php echo modules::run(‘modules/login/cp’);?>. It doesn’t produce the user_widget. If I change the function called in the view (i.e. <?php echo modules::run(‘modules/login/RANDOMFUNCTION’);?>), it don’t get an error.

If I remove the “modules” from the path (as in the original code in the article - <?php echo modules::run(‘login/cp’);?>), I get an error:

A PHP Error was encountered

Severity: Notice

Message: Undefined property: Login::$session

Filename: controllers/login.php

Line Number: 91

Is there something wrong with the code? I followed the guide to the letter except when I had to edit the module::run call from module::run(‘login/cp’) to module::run(‘modules/cp’) to follow the format specified:

Format: modules::run(‘module/controller/action’, $param1, $param2, .., $paramN);

@wilso417, MY_Lang should be located in application/core and should extend MX_Lang. The error with CI_Controller needs to be resolved as a separate issue.

MX_Router::fetch_module() returns the name of the last module controller loaded.

@eldrinofsoalim, Don’t use the word “modules” use the name of your module. The error with Login::$session needs to be resolved as a separate issue.

I see, thanks wiredesignz.

Is there any easy way to return or have fetch_module() return the last module being ‘used’ and not just loaded?

Just pulled the latest changes for Reactor. I had to add another public var to MX/Loader.php
```
public $_ci_classes = array();
```

Hi Wiredesignz, any way I can have the HMVC modules load when calling them from a view partial, but have them ignore the url? Ideally configurable per module.

@Mr. Pickle, Use modules::run(‘module/controller/method’) to load a module from a view partial and add the _remap() method to a controller where you can manage calls from the URL.

class Partial_controller extends MX_Controller
{
    public function _remap() //trap calls from the URL
    {        
          show_404();        //show page not found
    }

    public function show_view() 
    {
         $this->load->view('what_ever');
    }
}
