It happened in 0.9. I’m trying out 0.9.1 right now. Let you know if that fixes it.

That’s wierd.. :S $this->view->load(’’) is basicly an alias for $this->load->view(), just with some added functionality before the call.

If that is so, it’s really strange.

I tested it in 0.9.1, but still get the same error:

Unable to load the requested file: settings.php

I use some custom routing, but that doesn’t seem to be the problem either.

I’ll download the view library and find out whats wrong.

Cool, thanks a lot!

Ah, I found the problem 😊 When Matchbox tries to figure out what module is trying to load a resource it finds the file that called $this->load->RESOURCNAME. However, in this case its the view library that is the caller. I don’t suppose there’s an easy way to distinguish your own libraries with other peoples? I’ll have to think this throuh.

However if you wish to find a quick fix, just put the View library in each module that requires it.

Please tell me if that fixes your problem for now.

Sorry, I’m still figuring out how to load the view library.

I’ve created a folder called libraries in my module folder, and put the view library in there. But how do I load it in the controller?

You don’t have to do anything different. If you put your View library in the module folder it will load it from there instead, and since the view library is in the module folder it will also look for the view in the module folder. So putting the view library in the module folder should fix it. (i spelled “moduler folder” exactly 4 times XD )

I tried that, but just putting it in the module folder doesn’t work. I keep getting the “Unable to load the requested file: settings.php”

Strange… What’s wrong with my app :S

Hm. I’ll find a definate solution later tonight.

Thanx for all the effort you’re putting into this.

Sorry, I’m still figuring out how to load the view library.

I’ve created a folder called libraries in my module folder, and put the view library in there. But how do I load it in the controller?

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

require(APPPATH.'libraries/application'.EXT);

class Frontpage extends Application {

    public function __construct()
    {
        parent::__construct();    
        $this->lang->load('frontpage', 'en_US');    
        $this->load->model('frontpage_model');
    }
    
    public function index()
    {
        $module = $this->lang->line('frontpage_module');
        $page = $this->lang->line('frontpage_title');
        
        $this->view->set('title', $page);
        $this->view->set('module', $module);
        $this->view->part('west', 'west');
        $this->view->part('north', 'north');
        $this->view->part('center2', 'center2');
        $this->view->part('center1', 'center1');
        $this->view->part('east', 'east');
        $this->view->part('south', 'south');
        $this->view->load('complex');
    }
}

Hm. It should work (just tried it myself) :S Basicly what happens is:

You have the view library in the standard application folder. That means whenever you $this->view->load(), it will call the view library, that in turn will call the usual loader function. Now, when Matchbox tries to find out if it was a module that requested a view, it will think that the view library did so, and that view library is located in the application folder. Therefore it cannot find your view in the module folder. However, if you place your View libary in the module folder instead, Matchbox will know what module to look for the view in.

Depending on how you wish to load it you can either $this->load->library(‘View’) in the controller, or if you wish to autoload the library you will have to insert $autoload[‘libraries’] = array(‘MODULENAME’ => ‘View’) instead of $autoload[‘libraries’] = array(‘View’);

esra: Is that a working example, meaning that what he is trying to accomplish is doable?

Ok, if I put the view library in my module’s library folder, and in the controller I put:

$this->load->library('View');

I get the error:

Cannot redeclare class View in
xxxx/site/app/modules/api/libraries/View.php on line 11

I think you might also be autoloading it. You can’t both autoload it and load it in the controller.
