Oh, right, I was thinking about "full" modules only, but yes, there
are components which are useful for other users, with, I believe the
Noumenal flash messenger view helper being the most popular
https://github.com/carltongibson/Noumenal-PHP-Library/blob/master/library/Noumenal/View/Helper/FlashMessenger.php
:) or things like custom form elements, view helpers, plugins...
Maybe we could create a wiki page on http://framework.zend.com/wiki/
or on https://github.com/markizano/ZF-MVC to collect ideas/URLs?
I'm thinking about a standard module structure for my modules. However,
I'm guessing that it would be difficult to standardize for many
people/projects.
The things I've considered so far are having the module register itself
in the Zend_Registry when it bootstraps. This would setup various things
such as the modules admin/config pages, dependencies, and possibly other
hooks. When I've got some concrete code, I'll throw it out here if
anyone is interested.
I'm interested hearing anyone else's ideas for module management and
integration.
Custom form elements are a big one. I think that would help a lot of
people. I can't believe there is not a standard date form element, for
example. We have Zend_Date. It makes sense to have a form element. A
place to put such library components would be really nice.
My hope is that any contributions follow the same rigorous standards and
have the same quality as the ZF framework proper.
