how to autoload a class in custom directory on module path. My application's structure is like below
application
|_ modules
|_admin
|_api
| |_Core.php
|_elements
|_Dialog.php
i have two custom directory, 'api' and 'elements', when i instantiated an object of that two class i have received error message: 'Fatal error class Admin_Api_Core is not found'. I try with registerNamespace but it not work at all
Zend_Loader_Autoloader::getInstance()->registerNamespace('Admin_');
You can configure autoloading inside your Module_Bootstrap (almost same approach as in Benjamin Cremer's answer but module based).
To do it - create file Bootstrap.php in /modules/admin folder with the following content:
class Admin_Bootstrap extends Zend_Application_Module_Bootstrap
{
protected function _initAutoload()
{
$resourceLoader = new Zend_Loader_Autoloader_Resource(array(
'basePath' => realpath(dirname(__FILE__)),
'namespace' => 'Admin',
'resourceTypes' => array(
'api' => array(
'path' => 'api/',
'namespace' => 'Api'
)
)
));
$autoloader = new Zend_Application_Module_Autoloader(array(
'namespace' => 'Admin',
'basePath' => dirname(__FILE__),
'resourceloader' => $resourceLoader
));
return $autoloader;
}
}
After that you'll be able to instantiate class Admin_Api_Core etc. (you should specify all resoursTypes). If you have many modules, you can create such bootstraps for all of them.
Have a look at ZFs Resource Autoloaders.
Add the following to your Bootstrap.php
protected function _resourceLoader()
{
$resourceLoader = new Zend_Loader_Autoloader_Resource(array(
'basePath' => 'APPLICATION_PATH',
'namespace' => '',
'resourceTypes' => array(
'acl' => array(
'path' => 'api/',
'namespace' => 'Acl',
),
'form' => array(
'path' => 'elements/',
'namespace' => 'Element',
),
),
));
}
Api_Core loads APPLICATION_PATH . '/api/Core.php
Element_Core loads APPLICATION_PATH . '/elements/Core.php
Admin_Api_Core loads APPLICATION_PATH . '/modules/admin/api/Core.php
Admin_Element_Core loads APPLICATION_PATH . '/modules/admin/elements/Core.php
