Module scope/multiple objects
Development and Programming
Hi there,
I have created a custom module that, among other things, has a translate method. So in my templates, I call it using:
{exp:module:translate}String to translate{/exp:module:translate}
Trouble is that with every instance of this tag, there is a new object being initialized. Is there a setting to keep the object alive and reuse it?
Is EE creating the object, running the method, then destroying the object?
I had a look through the forums but I couldnt find anything similar.
Thanks.

Hi, Holt.
Unfortunately we don’t provide direct support for troubleshooting modules, but I can move this to the Development and Programming forum where other community members can assist.
Thanks Sue,
I was trying to get a bead on how objects are handled with EE, regarding creation and usage. From the looks of it, for every call to that tag, a new object is being created?
I was just wondering if there was a way to stipulate the module as a singleton, so that every call within the template uses the same instance?
Each tag will be its own instance but you can use static variables to pass data between the instances.
