this seems like it might be solving a problem that doesn’t exist yet. why not just make a general helper that can check all “registered” modules for function overlaps? and then just call it on “install” and print or log an error. instead of making a whole process for people to adapt and release modules, just make it easy by letting some code do a simple check for namespace collisions.

when/if it becomes a bigger problem, build a bigger solution.

Yus, it’ll probably just annoy the socks off everyone. Name overlapping haven’t been an issue yet after all. So yeah, I think you’re right

Modular Separation has been deprecated by Matchbox. However, Matchbox is backwards compatible with its predecessor so you can switch over without problems.

i am a newbie in CI

i install Modular Separation from link http://codeigniter.com/wiki/Modular_Separation/

1. i copy MY_Config.php, MY_Language.php, MY_Loader.php and MY_Router.php
    in /application/libraries/

2. i create the directory /modules/ in /application/

3. i create folder controllers, models, views in /modules/

4. i create news.php in /controllers

  here is my code in news.php

class News extends Controller {

  function __construct() {
     
      parent::Controller();

  }
  function index()
  {
      echo “test”;
  }
}

5. when i goto url http://localhost/index.php/news it does not work
  and show error message 404 Page Not Found

why?

thank in advance

Welcome to the forums killworld First of all, I would kindly ask you to read the big, bold, red letters that form my previous post.

Now, regarding your problem, you shouldn’t create controllers/views/models folders directly inside your /modules/ folder. Instead, you should create folders named for instance /news/ for a news module, or /users/ for a users module, and then create controllers/views/models folders within those.

If you look at the newest version, there’s also a more throughout documentation. I’m just going to repost my previous message. Please don’t post an answer in this topic, but in the Matchbox topic instead.

nvm

Hi all,
  i need some help, how can I add an external “routes.php” config file using Matchbox?. I’ve try by myself but I can’t make CodeIgniter load “routes.php” located in my module’s config folder.

For example i need this structure

Thanks

If you want that to work now you can use my solution.

This will however be a feature in the new version of Matchbox. I was looking at a preview of the new code this morning and it looks much more clean and optimized.

That rocks! Thanks so much!

....really thanks!
