Setup the Module Autoloader

[Xavier Vidal Piera]

Hi

I'm searching through the docs looking forward the way to autoload more than one module with Zend_Application_Module_Autoloader.

In my bootstrap i have these lines:

        $autoloader = new Zend_Application_Module_Autoloader(
            array(
                'namespace'    => 'Citiers',
                'basePath'     => dirname(__FILE__)
            )
        );

And the autoloading is working pretty well. All the components are in the default module ("Application module") but now i've started to implement some new modules and I need to autoload them.

If i try to add a resourceType, the path is concatenated without any separator:

$autoloader->addResourceType('model', ROOT_PATH . '/modules/blog', 'Citiers_');

The base path for modules gets:

"C:\PATH…..\application/C:\PATH….\modules\blog".

I think there's a bug there, but putting aside this case, I'm wondering if there's a better way to specify the modules autoloaders.

Thanks.

Create a new module autoloader instance for each module; they're
intended to group related resources on a per-module basis, and you can
have as many of them registered as you want.

Ok, but, do we need to assign a different namespace for each module?

I've found using different namespaces was the only way to make it working, as the autoloaders tries to include the classes on different places.

Thanks.

Yes -- modules are *supposed* to be namespaced (look at the docs for
controllers as an example).

Yes -- this was by design.
