the plugins for the Zend_Controller are not documented yet. How can I
use the plugins and when does it make sense to use them? Has anybody got
an example?
Create a class that implements Zend_Controller_Plugin_Interface. The
following methods would need to be implemented:
* routeStartup() - executed just before the router determines the
requested route to dispatch
* routeShutdown() - executed just after the route has been
determined
* dispatchLoopStartup() - executed before any actions are dispatched
* dispatchLoopShutdown() - executed after all actions have been
dispatched
* preDispatch() - executed just prior to executing a single action
* postDispatch() - executed just after execution of a single action
You can also create your own plugin events. Simply create your own
plugin broker by extending Zend_Controller_Plugin_Broker, and adding
methods for your own plugin dispatchers. A typical method might look
like:
public function myCustomAction()
{
foreach ($this->_plugins as $plugin) {
$plugin->myCustomAction();
}
}
