Calling Models in Module in Zend Framework

Question

I have a structure that is

application
application/modules
application/modules/default
application/modules/default/models
application/modules/admin
application/modules/admin/models

When calling controllers in admin I understand they must be named like Admin_TestController. This works fine, but my models in my admin module don't seem to be able to load. I have tried naming them and the files in all kinds of ways but it just doesn't seem to want to be able to load them. How should I name the file and model class in a module to be able to use it? I use autoloading.

Answer 1

As Fatmuemoo states the bootstrap for the module should extend Zend_Application_Module_Bootstrap also you should include

resources.modules[] =

In your config. This is in the docs for Zend_Application_Resource_Modules

Answer 2

What do your bootstrap files look like? That is the most import part of problem.

It is very important (in order for the namespaces to autoload) that you you have a bootstrap in each module (located @ application/modules/admin/bootstrap.php) that should contain, at the very least:

class Reports_Bootstrap extends Zend_Application_Module_Bootstrap

Notice that it extends Zend_Application_Module_Bootstrap. This does the heavy lifting of registering the namespaces for the MVC of the module.

Answer 3

It seems you need to include a bootstrap class that extends Zend_Application_Module_Bootstrap for the modules you want to use. Check this forum post about a similar issue to see if it helps point you in the right way. Seems you may need more than one to load separate modules.
