One thing we can do is only load extensions that inherit from a new Extensions superclass. The idea here is that there are some operations that would need to be tested for aikiframework core, and they might need to be run on every instance of aiki. Also, this gives a nice migration plan if an extension becomes useful enough to move into the core...which we are trying to keep lean. My thought is to add: $config['extensions-preload'] = array('myExtensionClassName', 'AnotherCrazyExtension'); Then in aiki.php we add after all the default extensions, this: foreach ( $config['extensions-preload'] as $ext ) { $aiki->load($ext); } ### Other things we could do, is add a priority to extensions, so that the loading can happen in a weighted way, rather than file order. Or, we could add an option to have pre-extensions and post-extensions for when to load those extensions orrrr, we could add an event/hook system and fire an event like 'pre_extension_load' and allow for code to hook in and load extensions pre, and then do the same like 'post_extension_load' and let developers load in whatever extensions they want. Simpler is better though IMO. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~aikiframework-devel Post to : aikiframework-devel@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~aikiframework-devel More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
