A couple thoughts,
1. the request object does not appear to be available until after a
$front_controller->dispatch() call
2. there is a function that returns the controllers directory
$front_controller->getControllerDirectory($modulename optional)
However, neither is available (in my code) until after the dispatch call. It
then becomes accessable in the IndexController functions.
Something like this ...
define('APPDIR', realpath(dirname(__FILE__).'/../').'/application');
$controller = Zend_Controller_Front::getInstance();
$controller->addModuleDirectory(APPDIR.'/modules');
$controller->setParam('noViewRenderer', true);
$controller->throwExceptions(true);
$controller->dispatch();
The modules directory contains:
news
-- controllers
--- IndexController (news_index)
default
-- controllers
--- IndexController (index)
admin
-- controllers
--- IndexController (admin_index)
Then in the IndexController..
$cDir =
$this->getFrontController()->getControllerDirectory($this->_getParam('module
'));
$cDir equals:
Testsite/
string(54) "/home/tbnlogin/application/modules/default/controllers"
Testsite/news
string(51) "/home/tbnlogin/application/modules/news/controllers"
Testsite/admin
string(51) "/home/tbnlogin/application/modules/admin/controllers"
This was the only way I could find to provide me with the current module
directory.
I can now trim off the "controller" directory name
$this->getFrontController()->getModuleControllerDirectoryName() and replace
it with templates or some other directory to be contained under the module
directory.
In my case the plan is to pass the directory to a custom smarty/view to
allow for a global templates directory and a module specific directory.
Or at least thats the plan...
