How to bootstrap Zend view just from application.ini? - zend-framework

I'm using Zend Framework 1.12 and I would like to bootstrap my view in the application.ini only.
Current setup:
resources.view[] = ""
resources.view.encoding = "UTF-8"
resources.view.basePath = APPLICATION_PATH "/views/"
resources.view.doctype = "XHTML1_STRICT"
resources.view.contentType = "text/html; charset=UTF-8"
resources.view.helperPath.My_View_Helper = APPLICATION_PATH"/views/helpers"
By this setup, I can use (for example) built-in navigation helper. I must attach following to Bootstrap:
protected function _initViewHelpers() {
$this->bootstrap('view');
$view = $this->getResource('view');
$viewRenderer = Zend_Controller_Action_HelperBroker::getStaticHelper('ViewRenderer');
$viewRenderer->setView($view);
$view->env = APPLICATION_ENV;
}
Any possibility to move it to ini file ?

how to differentiate admin module from main application in bootstrap file in zend framework

Please give me proper solution for my query. I have tried to solve it but not getting any proper solution. Please give me proper solution.
If I remove following line from application.ini file then it is working well for front end application
resources.modules[] =
After remove it, I am unable to get my created module(Admin) in modules folder with proper layout. I have only one module. In module bootstrap file I have defined following functions (project/application/modules/admin/Bootstrap.php)
<?php
class Admin_Bootstrap extends Zend_Application_Module_Bootstrap
{
protected function _initAppAutoload()
{
$autoloader = new Zend_Application_Module_Autoloader(array(

if ($bootstrap instanceof Zend_Application) {
$bootstrap = $this;
}
$bootstrap->bootstrap('FrontController');
$front = $bootstrap->getResource('FrontController');
$plugin = new Admin_Plugin_Layout();
// $plugin->setBootstrap($this);
$front->registerPlugin($plugin);
}

$view->doctype( 'XHTML1_STRICT' );
//$view->navigation = $this->buildMenu();
}
protected function _initLayoutPlugin()
{
$layout = Zend_Controller_Front::getInstance();
$layout->registerPlugin(new Admin_Plugin_AdminLayout());
}
protected function _initRouter()
{
$frontController = Zend_Controller_Front::getInstance();
$router = $frontController->getRouter();
$route = new Zend_Controller_Router_Route(
':module/:controller/:action/*',
array('module' => 'admin')
);
$router->addRoute('default', $route);
$usersRoute = new Zend_Controller_Router_Route_Regex(
':module/:controller/:action/(?:/page/(\d+)/?)?',
array(
'module' => 'admin',
'controller' => 'users',
'action' => 'index',
'page' => 1,

protected function _initActionHelpers()
{
Zend_Controller_Action_HelperBroker::addPath(APPLICATION_PATH . "/modules/admin/views/helpers");
Zend_Controller_Action_HelperBroker::addPrefix('Admin_View_Helper');
}
}
In modules folder I have created following plugin Layout
class Admin_Plugin_Layout extends Zend_Controller_Plugin_Abstract
{
public function routeShutdown(Zend_Controller_Request_Abstract $request)
{
if ('admin' != $request->getModuleName()) {
// If not in this module, return early
return;
}
// Change layout
Zend_Layout::getMvcInstance()->setLayout('admin');
}
}
In frontend bootstrap file I have defined following functions(project/application/Bootstrap.php)
class Bootstrap extends Zend_Application_Bootstrap_Bootstrap
{
protected function _initAppAutoload()
{
$autoloader = new Zend_Application_Module_Autoloader(array(
'namespace' => 'default',
'basePath' => dirname(__FILE__),
));
return $autoloader;
}
protected function _initLayoutHelper()
{
$this->bootstrap('frontController');
$layout = Zend_Controller_Action_HelperBroker::addHelper(
new Application_View_Helper_LayoutLoader());
}
}
I have created following helper file in (project/application/view/helper/LayoutLoader.php)
<?php
class Application_View_Helper_LayoutLoader extends Zend_Controller_Action_Helper_Abstract
{
public function preDispatch()
{
$bootstrap = $this->getActionController()
->getInvokeArg('bootstrap');
$config = $bootstrap->getOptions();
$module = $this->getRequest()->getModuleName();
if (isset($config[$module]['resources']['layout']['layout'])) {
$layoutScript =
$config[$module]['resources']['layout']['layout'];
$this->getActionController()
->getHelper('layout')
->setLayout($layoutScript);
}
}
}
From last two days I am trying to create separate layout for both but I am unable to getting proper solution. When I run admin module in browser, it is working well but when I run frontend application folder it show exception error with layout of admin.
Please provide me proper solution....
Thanks
The standard way to do a layout switching is with a front-controller plugin. You don't need the LayoutLoader helper with preDispatch hook.
A simple layout-switcher plugin can be implemented as follows.
Place your various layout files in application/layouts/scripts/, named the same as your module: default.phtml, admin.phtml, etc.
In the file application/plugins/Layout.php:
class Application_Plugin_Layout extends Zend_Controller_Plugin_Abstract
{
public function preDispatch(Zend_Controller_Request_Abstract $request)
{
Zend_Layout::getMvcInstance()->setLayout($request->getModuleName());
}
}
Enable the plugin application/configs/application.ini using:
resources.frontController.plugins.layout = "Application_Plugin_Layout"
or by manually registering the plugin in Bootstrap.
Also, make sure your application.ini enables modules and identifies your layout location:
resources.modules[]=
resources.layout.layoutPath = APPLICATION_PATH "/layouts/scripts/"
You seem to be way over thinking this. I'm going to simplify this down to the basic and you can add back as you see fit.
The bootstrap system in ZF1 is a bad joke. Anything that is present in one of the bootstrap files will available to all modules at run and will be run with every request. So keep it simple and keep it light. I normally put all of the _init methods in the main bootstrap and leave the module bootstraps empty.
//simplify your bootstrap to minimum
class Bootstrap extends Zend_Application_Bootstrap_Bootstrap
{
//your app autoloader is the standard autoloader so is not needed here, it better just work.

protected function _initsession()

$viewRenderer->setView($view);
//Return it, so that it can be stored by the bootstrap
return $view;

The application.ini is a very important part of application configuration:
//truncated for example

phpSettings.display_startup_errors = 0

resources.frontController.baseurl = http://example.com
resources.frontController.moduleDirectory = APPLICATION_PATH "/modules"

;-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
;//View Settings, view settings to be shared with the view object in the bootstrap
;// allows for easier editing.
;-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
resources.view[]=
resources.view.charset = "UTF-8"
resources.view.encoding = "UTF-8"
resources.view.doctype = "HTML5"
resources.view.language = "en"
resources.view.contentType = "text/html; charset=UTF-8"
;-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
;//Database Settings, default database adapter settings
;-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
resources.db.adapter = "pdo_Mysql"
resources.db.params.username = "user"
resources.db.params.password = "xxxx"
resources.db.params.dbname = "dbname"
resources.db.params.charset = "utf8"
resources.db.isDefaultTableAdapter = true
resources.db.params.profiler = true
;-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
;//Layouts, default path to layout files and default layout name
;-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
resources.layout.layoutPath = APPLICATION_PATH "/layouts/scripts/"
resources.layout.layout = layout
Now the simplest way to accomplish layout switching is to switch the layout on a per controller basis, use the default layout except where you explicitly change it:
//some controller that needs the admin layout
//note: preDispatch() and routeShutdown() are essentially the same point in the loop
public function preDispatch() {
//switch to new layout
$this->_helper->layout->setLayout('admin');
//you can also manipulate the css and js similarly to the bootstrap
$this->view->headScript()->appendFile(
'/javascript/mediaelement/build/mediaelement-and-player.min.js');
$this->view->inlineScript()->setScript(
"$('audio').mediaelementplayer();");
}
I find that if I just need one or two different layouts this works nicely and is simple. Not really a DRY solution but can really help develop the parameters for a plugin if a DRY solution is desired.
I hope this provides some help, the big thing to remember is that the module bootstraps are basically just extentions of the main bootstrap and provide no seperation of functionality.
P.S. I would have provided a plugin demo but I really suck at plugins, Sorry.

Why does the application work this way?

variables from controller do not appear in a view and view-helpers do not work:
for example I define a variable in controller:
$this->view->title = "Title";
and print it in a view:
echo $this->title;
The contents of the variable "titles" doesn't appear in the page.
Here is my bootstrap file:
use ZFBootstrap\View\Helper\Navigation\Menu;
class Bootstrap extends Zend_Application_Bootstrap_Bootstrap
{
protected function _initAutoload() {
require_once '../application/views/helpers/LoggedInAs.php';//need to include a view-helper
require_once '../application/plugins/AuthPlugin.php';
require_once '../application/configs/configAcl.php';
$frontController = Zend_Controller_Front::getInstance();
$frontController->registerPlugin($auth = new AuthPlugin());
$frontController->getRouter()->addDefaultRoutes();
$autoloader = Zend_Loader_Autoloader::getInstance();
$autoloader->setFallbackAutoloader(true);
$this->bootstrap('layout');
$layout=$this->getResource('layout');
$view=$layout->getView();
$config = new Zend_Config_Xml(APPLICATION_PATH. '/configs/navigation.xml', 'nav');
$container = new Zend_Navigation($config);
$view->registerHelper(new Menu(), 'menu');
$view->navigation($container);
Zend_View_Helper_Navigation_HelperAbstract::setDefaultAcl($acl);
$auth = Zend_Auth::getInstance();
$identity = $auth->getIdentity();
$role = ($auth->hasIdentity() && !empty($auth->getIdentity()->role))
? $auth->getIdentity()->role : 'guest';
Zend_View_Helper_Navigation_HelperAbstract::setDefaultRole($role);
$view->navigation()->menu()->render();
$view->navigation()->menu()->setMinDepth(1)->setUlClass('nav');
}
If instead I use this code
use ZFBootstrap\View\Helper\Navigation\Menu;
class Bootstrap extends Zend_Application_Bootstrap_Bootstrap
{
protected function _initAutoload() {
require_once '../application/plugins/AuthPlugin.php';
require_once '../application/configs/configAcl.php';
$frontController = Zend_Controller_Front::getInstance();
$frontController->registerPlugin($auth = new AuthPlugin());
$frontController->getRouter()->addDefaultRoutes();
$autoloader = Zend_Loader_Autoloader::getInstance();
$autoloader->setFallbackAutoloader(true);
/*$this->bootstrap('layout');
$layout=$this->getResource('layout');
$view=$layout->getView();*/
$config = new Zend_Config_Xml(APPLICATION_PATH. '/configs/navigation.xml', 'nav');
$container = new Zend_Navigation($config);
/*$view = Zend_Layout::startMvc()->getView();
$view->registerHelper(new Menu(), 'menu');
$view->navigation($container);//->setAcl($acl)->setRole($auth->getStorage()->read()->role);
*/Zend_View_Helper_Navigation_HelperAbstract::setDefaultAcl($acl);
$auth = Zend_Auth::getInstance();
$identity = $auth->getIdentity();
$role = ($auth->hasIdentity() && !empty($auth->getIdentity()->role))
? $auth->getIdentity()->role : 'guest';
Zend_View_Helper_Navigation_HelperAbstract::setDefaultRole($role);
/*$view->navigation()->menu()->render();
$view->navigation()->menu()->setMinDepth(1)->setUlClass('nav');*/
}
everything works exept navigation. The question is, why my navigation doesn't work and how can I fix it.
To begin with your Bootstrap.php is an utter mess. Start with some basic organization.
class Bootstrap extends Zend_Application_Bootstrap_Bootstrap
{
/**
* initialize the session
*/
protected function _initsession()
{
Zend_Session::start();
}
/**
* initialize the registry and assign application.ini to config namespace of Zend_Registry
*/
protected function _initRegistry()
{
$config = new Zend_Config($this->getOptions());
Zend_Registry::set('config', $config);
}
When you want to manipulate the view object in your bootstrap you need to make sure to return the new view:
/**
* initialize the view and return it
* #return \Zend_View
*/
protected function _initView()
{
//Initialize view
$view = new Zend_View();
//add custom view helper path
$view->addHelperPath('/../library/My/View/Helper');
//set doctype for default layout
$view->doctype(Zend_Registry::get('config')->resources->view->doctype);
//set head meta data
$view->headMeta()->setCharset(Zend_Registry::get('config')->resources->view->charset);
//set css includes
$view->headlink()->setStylesheet('/bootstrap/css/bootstrap.min.css');
$view->headLink()->appendStylesheet('/css/main.css');
//add javascript files
$view->headScript()->setFile('/bootstrap/js/jquery.min.js');
$view->headScript()->appendFile('/bootstrap/js/bootstrap.min.js');
//add the view to the view renderer
$viewRenderer = Zend_Controller_Action_HelperBroker::getStaticHelper(
'ViewRenderer');
$viewRenderer->setView($view);
//Return it, so that it can be stored by the bootstrap
return $view;
}
As far as navigation is concerned. You can initialize your navigation container in the bootstrap but the actual view components will typically bet setup in the layout:
/**
* The bootstrap part as example, yours will likely be similar but different
*/
protected function _initNavigation() {
$config = new Zend_Config_Xml(APPLICATION_PATH . '/configs/site.xml');
$container = new Zend_Navigation($config);
$registry = Zend_Registry::getInstance();
$registry->set('Zend_Navigation', $container);
}
Then in your layout file you may implement the navigation similar to:
<div id="nav">
<?php echo $this->navigation()->menu()
->renderMenu(null, array(
'minDepth' => null,
'maxDepth' => 1,
'onlyActiveBranch' => TRUE
)) ?>
</div>
One thing to keep in mind: The options we getting when we call $this->getOptions() in the _initRegistry() method come from the application.ini file. A large number of options are often initialize here.
//application.ini as example your settings will be somewhat different

If your page is blank and you think it shouldn't be. Set your environment to 'development' or just change the error display values from '0' to '1' in the 'production' section. If you do this the errors will display.
Good Luck

Zend_Application_Bootstrap_Bootstrap doesn't load models

I am using Zend_Application_Bootstrap_Bootstrap, but framework can't load modeles.
Index.php
define('ROOT_PATH', realpath(dirname(dirname(__FILE__))));
define('APP_PATH', realpath( ROOT_PATH . '/application'));
set_include_path(realpath(ROOT_PATH . '/library') . PATH_SEPARATOR . get_include_path());

Bootstrap.php:
class Bootstrap extends Zend_Application_Bootstrap_Bootstrap
{
}
Folder tree:
Myproject->

/configs
/controllers
/models
/Mytest.php

/public
index.php
Problem:
I trying to create new Mytest() in controller, but i get "class not found in..."
When I add to bootstrap Zend_Loader::loadClass('Mytest', APP_PATH . '/models/') everything works.
My questions is, how to setup Zend_Application_Bootstrap_Bootstrap via application.ini to autoload models folder ?
Thank you.
Model classes are by default named in ZF under 'Application' namespace.
So your class would be named as 'Application_Model_Mytest'
You can set the default namespace 'Application' by adding this to the application.ini
appnamespace = "Application"

Zend Framework Modules can't find/load Models

For some frustrating reason, I configured some Modules, which seemed to work fine,
However I cannot load a Modules Models. If I move the Models to the Default they load,
but I just can't get the Framework to find them locally..
Example:
My Modules Directory is:
application\modules\books\models\books.php (books is my Model)
class Application_Module_Books_Model_Books extends Zend_Db_Table_Abstract {}
I also tried..
Books_Model_Books, Model_Books, books, Modules_.. you name it I tried it :)
My controller is in the Books Module, and is an Index Controller, and it
can never find the Local Model.
I'm using Application.ini and it is configured this way:
resources.frontController.controllerDirectory = APPLICATION_PATH "/controllers"
resources.frontController.params.displayExceptions = 1
resources.frontController.moduleDirectory = APPLICATION_PATH "/modules"
I have a BootStrap in the Modules Directory:
class Admin_Bootstrap extends Zend_Application_Module_Bootstrap
{
}
I'm on Zend Framework 1.10, and ideas.. ?
What just fixed it for me was to add the following line to application.ini
resources.modules[]=
Then i added a Bootstrap.php to the module directory ('application\modules\books\')
class Books_Bootstrap extends Zend_Application_Module_Bootstrap {
protected function _initAutoload()
{
$autoloader = new Zend_Application_Module_Autoloader(array(
'namespace' => 'Books_',
'basePath' => dirname(__FILE__)
));
return $autoloader;
}
}
Move the books model to 'application\modules\books\models\Books.php'
class Books_Model_Books extends Zend_Db_Table_Abstract {...}
Now you should be able to load the model in the IndexController
$model = new Books_Model_Books();
In the application.ini, add a simple line:
resources.frontController.moduleDirectory = APPLICATION_PATH "/modules"
and in the method _initAutoload() inside the Bootstrap put:
$front = $this->bootstrap("frontController")->frontController;
$modules = $front->getControllerDirectory();
$default = $front->getDefaultModule();
foreach (array_keys($modules) as $module) {
if ($module === $default) {
continue;
}
$moduleloader = new Zend_Application_Module_Autoloader(array(
'namespace' => $module,
'basePath' => $front->getModuleDirectory($module)));
}
make sure the name of models inside each module are like
[name_module]_Model_[name_model]
in you case, like
class Books_Model_Books {
}
and that's all :D
The correct class name would be Books_Model_Books, but the filename of that class would need to be Books.php (note the capital 'B').
You shouldn't have a bootstrap in the modules directory, but you probably do want a bootstrap for each module directory, so you'd need a class:
class Books_Bootstrap extends Zend_Application_Module_Bootstrap
{
}
at: application/modules/books/Bootstrap.php (again note the capital 'B').
Check the section on the module resource autloader at http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/zend.loader.autoloader-resource.html for more info.
1-feel free to delete this cuz you don't need it any more :
resources.frontController.controllerDirectory = APPLICATION_PATH "/controllers"
and place this code inside you Bootstrap.php file [application bootstrap ] not the module bootstrap
public function _initAutoload()
{
$autoloader = new Zend_Application_Module_Autoloader(array(
'namespace' => '' ,
'basePath' => dirname(__FILE__) . '/modules/'));
return $autoloader;
}
getting back to config you need also to add
resources.modules[] = ""
resources.frontController.defaultModule = "admin"
here is my complete config file :
phpSettings.display_startup_errors = 0
phpSettings.display_errors = 0
includePaths.library = APPLICATION_PATH "/../library"
bootstrap.path = APPLICATION_PATH "/Bootstrap.php"
bootstrap.class = "Bootstrap"
appnamespace = "Application"
resources.frontController.defaultModule = "news"
resources.frontController.prefixDefaultModule = 1
resources.frontController.moduleDirectory = APPLICATION_PATH "/modules"
resources.modules[] = ""
;resources.frontController.controllerDirectory = APPLICATION_PATH "/controllers"
resources.frontController.params.displayExceptions = 1
resources.layout.layoutPath = APPLICATION_PATH "/layouts/scripts/"
autoloaderNamespaces[] = "xxxxxx"
resources.db.adapter = "Mysqli"
resources.db.isdefaulttableadapter = true
resources.db.params.host = "localhost"
resources.db.params.dbname = "xxxxx"
resources.db.params.username = "root"
resources.db.params.password = "root"
resources.db.params.charset = "utf8"
hopefully i didn't miss any thing

Please go through it and let me know any knows how do configure module and layout in right way..
Thanks and regards,

I use plugin approach with this code I have written:
in main Bootstrap:
protected function _initPlugins()
{
// Access plugin
$front = Zend_Controller_Front::getInstance();
$front->registerPlugin(new MyApp_Plugin_Module());
}
In plugin directory:
class MyApp_Plugin_Module extends Zend_Controller_Plugin_Abstract
{
public function preDispatch(Zend_Controller_Request_Abstract $request)
{
$module = $request->getModuleName();
$layout = Zend_Layout::getMvcInstance();
// check module and automatically set layout
$layoutsDir = $layout->getLayoutPath();
// check if module layout exists else use default
if(file_exists($layoutsDir . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $module . ".phtml")) {
$layout->setLayout($module);
} else {
$layout->setLayout("default");
}
}
Hope it helps.
From your code:
# Layout
resources.layout.layout = "layout"
resources.layout.layoutPath = APPLICATION_PATH "/layouts"
admin.resources.layout.layout = "admin"
admin.resources.layout.layoutPath = APPLICATION_PATH "/modules/admin/layouts"
you are using your_app/modules/admin/layouts/admin.phtml as admin module layout, and I guess it replaced your_app/layouts/layout.phtml. Check a way to switch between modules and try something site.ressources.layout instead of resources.layout.layout. i am a newbie to zend. check out how to setting up you bootstrap at http://www.survivethedeepend.com/
the same problem and solution has been stressed here: http://blog.astrumfutura.com/archives/415-Self-Contained-Reusable-Zend-Framework-Modules-With-Standardised-Configurators.html
In my application I configured this way. It worked perfectly.
protected function _initLayout(){
$layout = explode('/', $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
if(in_array('admin', $layout)){
$layout_dir = 'admin';
}else if(in_array('default', $layout)){
$layout_dir = 'default';
}else{
$layout_dir = 'default';
}
$options = array(
'layout' => 'layout',
'layoutPath' => APPLICATION_PATH."/modules/".$layout_dir."/views/layouts"
);
Zend_Layout::startMvc($options);
}
You need to use a Controller Plugin to achieve that, because the layout is set based on the request entry, and on the bootstrap the application hasn't been dispatched, so you need to use a controller plugin to work on the preDispatch to switch layouts.
I think the easiest way is check the URI_String. Please see below:
I have a module named as "admin".
Under layout folder I have 2 directories. "site" and "admin"
\application\layout\site\layout.phtml and \application\layout\admin\layout.phtml
Add this block of code on Bootstrap.php
It just change the layout directory path.
protected function _initLayout(){
$layout = explode('/', $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
if(in_array('admin', $layout)){
$layout_dir = 'admin';
}else{
$layout_dir = 'site';
}
$options = array(
'layout' => 'layout',
'layoutPath' => APPLICATION_PATH . "/layouts/scripts/".$layout_dir,
);
Zend_Layout::startMvc($options);
}
Your questions answered my question, that's right, I was trying to find out why it did not work in my bootstrap modules, seen in its configuration file that you need to add the line
administrador.resources.view [] =
Valew partner!
<?php

Layout and module in not enabled on a newly zend project (in ZF version 1). It needs to be enabled and you need to make it work.
Layout works for the common header and footer for the working zend project, on the other hand module can be used for the different kind of access i.e module for user, module for admin, module for visitor and so on.
For a quick reference you can find a complete explanation with a complete project to get the basic idea from here, on my site. . http://www.getallthing.com/how-to-use-layout-and-module-in-zend-framework/
Good luck and cheers!
$options = array(
'layout' => 'layout',
'layoutPath' => APPLICATION_PATH."/modules/".$layout_dir."/views/layouts"
);
Zend_Layout::startMvc($options);
Tried a few other solutions from SOF and this one worked great. Just needed to point the layoutPath to the folder of the actual layouts
