Using modules in ZendFramework 1.8.2

Question

I'm trying to use modules in the ZF 1.8 project but can't get working routing to modules' actions.

Here is an example, I create route "/test" that points to module 'test', controller 'ttt' and action 'index':

$router->addRoute(
    $name, 
    new Zend_Controller_Router_Route('test',
        array('controller' => 'ttt', 
           'module' => 'test',
              'action' => 'index'))
);

I initilaize modules directory (create diretory "ttt", required controller and view classes) and specify it during bootstrap:

$front->addModuleDirectory(dirname(__FILE__) . '/modules');

But when I open URL like example.com/test I'm getting error like "Message: Invalid controller specified (ttt)".

What's wrong with my example?

Fixed. Added the following line into the application.ini:

resources.frontController.moduleDirectory = APPLICATION_PATH "/modules"

Answer 1

Have you copied another Controller class file, renamed it and forgotten to change the class declaration to TttController inside the file? That would get you that error message, if the controller does actually exist. Make sure it looks like this:

class TttController extends Zend_Controller_Action
{
...

Of course, I could be way off.

For controllers not in the default module, you must prefix the controller class name with the module name and an underscore.

i.e.

class Test_TttController extends Zend_Controller_Action
{

}
