Hi :)
why is it not possible to load cake plugins outside of bootstrap.php?
I want to implement a "plugin management" where all "installed"
plugins saved in database with some configurations of the plugins,
e.g. has a bootstrap or a routes file. Now I want to load the plugins
in AppController::beforeFilter:
========= >8 =========
public function beforeFilter() {
parent::beforeFilter();
$this->loadModel( 'PluginHook' );
$pluginHooks = $this->PluginHook->find(
'all'
);
$plugins = array( );
foreach ( $pluginHooks as $pluginHook ) {
$plugins[ $pluginHook[ 'PluginHook' ][ 'hook_id' ] ] =
$pluginHook[ 'Plugin' ];
foreach ( $pluginHook[ 'Plugin' ] as $plugin ) {
CakePlugin::load( $plugin[ 'name' ], array( 'bootstrap' =>
( $plugin[ 'has_bootstrap' ] == 1 ), 'routes' =>
( $plugin[ 'has_routes' ] == 1 ) ) );
}
}
$this->set( compact( 'plugins' ) );
}
========= 8< =========
Until this point there is no error message or anything! And now I want
to "run" the plugin in my views:
========= >8 =========
if ( isset( $plugins ) && isset( $plugins[ $hookId ] ) && !
empty( $plugins[ $hookId ] ) ) :
foreach ( $plugins[ $hookId ] as $plugin ) :
$url = array(
'plugin' => strtolower( $plugin[ 'name' ] ),
'controller' => strtolower( $plugin[ 'start_controller' ] )
);
if ( !empty( $plugin[ 'start_action' ] ) ) :
$url[ 'action' ] = $plugin[ 'start_action' ];
endif;
echo $this->requestAction( $url, array( 'return' ) );
endforeach;
endif;
========= 8< =========
There is nothing to see in the view but in the error.log I get this:
========= >8 =========

It seems the plugin was not loaded ... For the sake of completenes,
I'm using Cake 2.0.4, the plugin is called 'Sample' and when I just
put the CakePlugin::load portion in the bootstrap.php all is working
fine and as expected:
========= >8 =========
CakePlugin::load( array(
'Sample' => array( 'bootstrap' => true, 'routes' => true )
) );
========= 8< =========
I hope someone can help me or can explain why its not possible to load
plugins another way than bootstrap.php?
Best wishes for the new year! ;)
