Modules is only a static helper class, it isn’t meant to be instantiated. The HMVC class is extended by your module… I suppose it could be called Module.

One last thing… I’m not sure if the Modular Extensions is just a helper or it is a library. For me, it is a library that have a helper inside. Even more, it is in the same level of Controller and Model libraries. In my opinion, it should go to “application/libraries”, with the name “Module.php”.

If it was a library, then CI would instantiate it when it’s loaded. That doesn’t make sense. If you want to make it a true CI helper instead of a static class then change the methods. For example:

- run() becomes modules_run()
- so to call it, modules::run() becomes modules_run()

In my view, a helper is a standalone function and a library is a set of functions or classes that work together. It doesn’t matter if it can be instantiated or not, unless the library concept in CI only applies to intantiable classes. Anyway, I do prefer to use modules::run() than modules_run().

By the way, what do you think about the version 3.0? Is it more a library than a helper or not?

Many thanks in advance!

I’m getting this error

Can anyone tell me what am doing wrong?

Hello,

i’m trying to use the controller variables in the view (as I do in the CI 2.0 basic installation) with the HMVC extensions.

Controller:

View:

This simply doesn’t work. Any suggestion is highly appreciated.
Thank you

Hi all,
i’d like to clarify that my problem arises only when the HMVC extensions are installed. on CI2.0 I can normally use controller variables in the view. after HMVC I can’t.
So, if not depending on something I did, this is an HMVC issue.

Regards,
Filippo

The object represented by “$this” in a view is actually the CI_Loader object not the CI_Controller. The CI core objects are assigned to the Loader when your view is loaded. This is a coding problem because there may be more than one controller in existence at any time, references to variables in the view will be to the CI core objects.

EDIT:
I have updated Modular Extensions HMVC on bitbucket to allow $this->variable in a view to reference the current module controller.

However it is far better practice to pass variables to your views as recommended and detailed in the CodeIgniter User Guide.
