Hey
I dont know whether this is the best way to solve this problem about loading
MODELS for a specific MODULE. I had this same question and burned a hell of
a time trying to understand what to do. This is the solution i found:
i got three modules like this:
default
-> controllers
-> models
-> views
pro
-> controllers
-> models
-> views
public
-> controllers
-> models
-> views
Now i needed to load the index model class for the PRO module. And this
should happen within the PRO's index action. This is what I came up with:
file: /pro/controllers/IndexController.php
public function init() {
Zend_Loader::loadClass('Pro_Models_Index');
}
public function indexAction() {
$objIndex = new Pro_Models_Index();
$objIndex->theGreatFunction();
}
file: /pro/models/Index.php
class Pro_Models_Index {
theGreatFunction() {
// some code here
}
}
like wise we can use "Default_Models_Index", "Public_Models_Index" or even
"Pro_Models_List" which searches for a "/pro/models/List.php" file. You can
see I just simply send in the path to models. I found this is a pretty neat
way.
Let me know if this worked for you :)
