Zend framework (1.7.5): how to change controller directory

4
votes

Using Zend Framework I want to use controllers stored in a directory which is not default.

What I'm trying to achieve is that if the requested path begins with admin/ controllers/admin is used, with layout/admin and views/admin etc.

How would I go about achieving this in a reasonably graceful manner?

If none of the below answers suits your needs please give a more concrete example because I didn't quite get what you want. Give an example URL and the names for controller, layout and view files. From your current example I could only determine the controller file name. The others not. – Ionuț G. Stan

You could use the module directory structure. Create the directory structure

application
  default
    controllers
    views
    models
  admin
    controllers
    views
    models

For more info check out the docs on Using a Conventional Modular Directory Structure

$front = Zend_Controller_Front::getInstance();
$front->setControllerDirectory(...path...);

OR multiple paths

$front = Zend_Controller_Front::getInstance();
$front->setControllerDirectory(array(
    'default' => '/path/to/application/controllers',
    'blog'    => '/path/to/application/blog/controllers'
));
