I’ve just done a very similar plugin as this myself, however I made it invoke the postDispatch function. I’m curious if there is any need for it to be in pre/post. I’m guessing pre would be better as this then allows the controller to change it if it needs, in the action.

One more issue I’m having is now that I’ve changed my layout path, my partials in my default layout path aren’t working.

Cheers,

Baz

abstract class App_Controller_Action
extends Zend_Controller_Action
{

/**
* Returnns current module directory
*
* @return string
*/
protected function getCurrentModuleDirectory() {
return Zend_Controller_Front::getInstance()->getModuleDirectory(
$this->getRequest()->getModuleName());
}

public function preDispatch(){
parent::preDispatch();
Zend_Layout::getMvcInstance()->setLayoutPath(
$this->getCurrentModuleDirectory() . ‘/layouts/scripts’);
}
}

Hi. I am newbie to Zend Framework I really need this but my problem is unfortunately I don’t know where to put the above code please explain actually path and file name.

Now that there is the Zend_application Component, the plugin registration should be done in the Bootstrap Class File. The actual plugin file should be placed somewhere where the Autoloader will find it, or it can be directly required using require_once.

For more info, please see the Zend Framework documentation at http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/zend.controller.plugins.html

I haven’t tried this code on the newer versions of Zend. can anyone confirm its working?

created a LayoutPlugin.php in the modules folder.
included that into the public/index.php
/setup the layout
Zend_Layout::startMvc(array(
‘layoutPath’ => APPLICATION_PATH . ‘modules/default/layouts/scripts’,
‘layout’ => ‘layout’
));

$layoutModulePlugin = new Module_LayoutPlugin();
$layoutModulePlugin->registerModuleLayout(’admin’,’../application/admin/layouts’);

$controller->registerPlugin($layoutModulePlugin);

and it keeps giving me an error

Fatal error: Class ‘Zend_Controller_Front’ not found in C:\wamp\www\project\public\index.php on line 20

For anyone wanting an example based on this one, there is an example here:
