How could I use a per module bootstrap ?

Question

Hi, I'm using Zend Framework 1.10.7 and I'm looking for a way to use a per module bootstrap to set up specific module configuration.

I thought it was as simple as extending the Zend_Appplication_Bootstrap_Bootstrap and put it at the root of the module directory, but it doesn't seem.

Thank you.

See

• Rob Allen's Bootstrapping modules in ZF 1.8 and up

Answer 2

Zend_Application_Module_Bootstrap is the class you want to extend. So say you had a module called 'Blog', you'd create a bootstrap class like this:

class Blog_Bootstrap extends Zend_Application_Module_Bootstrap
{
    // module specific bootstrap methods here
}

and put it at application/modules/blog/Bootstrap.php.

Please notice that every bootstrap will be runned, even you you load a controller of a specific module.
