Sylvain Gogel	Tuesday 10 November 2009 12:12:38 pm Hi there, I'm building an extension that will expose a bunch of template operators and modules that user a small component lib i wrote. This component, called Ewm is built using the Zend Coding standard. I want to embed this lib in an extension and use the lib autoloader to avoid require/includes in operators and module functions Can't find a way to include the Autoloader code somewhere. Who an i acheave this? extension - ewmadapter - autoloads - design - lib - Ewm - modules - settings - translations the autoloader looks like this (in Ewm/Autoloader.php) : class Ewm_Autoloader { static public function register() { ini_set('unserialize_callback_func', 'spl_autoload_call'); spl_autoload_register(array(new self, 'autoload')); } static public function autoload($class) { if (0 !== strpos($class, 'Ewm')) { return false; } require dirname(__FILE__).'/../'.str_replace('_', '/', $class).'.php'; return true; } } -- http://www.ecedi.fr Agence Web, Créa/Conseils, Accessibilité eZPublish, Drupal, Zend, Symfony
Damien Pobel	Wednesday 11 November 2009 12:27:43 pm Hi Sylvain, the easiest way is probably to let the autoloader of eZ Publish do the job. Active your extension and regenerate the autoload array with the following command line : php bin/php/ezpgenerateautoloads.php so your class will be automatically included when needed without having to define a specific Autoloader class. If your component uses one or more Zend components, you'll also probably need to alter the include_path as there are sometimes explicit include statements in Zend code or include of PHP files not containing a class definition. You can do that in your own code before using your component or in config.php file in the eZ Publish root. I use the former in autostatus extension when using Zend_Service_Twitter component.

This means the users of your extensions would need to set this up as part of the extension installation procedure, but should be simple if you provide examples in your installation doc. eZ Online Editor 5: http://projects.ez.no/ezoe \|\| eZJSCore (Ajax): http://projects.ez.no/ezjscore \|\| eZ Publish EE http://ez.no/eZPublish/eZ-Publish-Enterprise-Subscription @: http://twitter.com/andrerom
Sylvain Gogel	Thursday 12 November 2009 11:23:04 am I will give a try the the ezpgenerateautoloads.php, did not figured out it will autoload stuff in a extension/xxx/lib folder does it works for 4.0 ? -- http://www.ecedi.fr Agence Web, Créa/Conseils, Accessibilité eZPublish, Drupal, Zend, Symfony
Damien Pobel	Thursday 12 November 2009 1:04:18 pm It should work in 4.0 too. In fact, ezpgenerateautoload.php looks for class definitions in all PHP files of each extension. Btw, I've just discovered that from the 4.1, you can also define and register your own autoload function and register it in config.php but as said by André, it's less handy, if you want to distribute your extension.

Cheers " This means: // Append your directory to the include path set_include_path( get_include_path() . PATH_SEPARATOR . 'extensions/xyz/library/'); // Just create the new object it, or do a spl_autoload_call( $className ); // to look for the class before you try to initiate it. $object = new $className();
