Haha, it's solved for the moment but not the way I wanted.
I have an HMVC framework with modules, I wanted so when I load a view, it will first check if the view exists in the current module - IF the view was loaded from a module - and then if not found there check the regular application/views/ folder for the view-file.
Kinda like this:
modules/welcome/controllers/welcome.php
PHP Code:
View::factory('website/index');
That will check modules/welcome/views/website/index.php, if found, render it.
If not found, check application/views/website/index.php, if found, render it.
If not found, check all other modules views directories, if found, render it.
If not found, generate error message.
On the other hand, if I do like this:
application/controllers/welcome.php
PHP Code:
View::factory('website/index');
It will check application/views/website/index.php, if found, render it.
If not found, check all modules views directories, if found, render it.
If not found, generate error message.
All of that is quite simple, takes some work but I can make that work.
The thing that complicates it is that I want to be able to load a view from within a view.
Like so:
modules/welcome/views/website/index.php
PHP Code:
<?php echo View::factory('footer'); ?>
It will check modules/welcome/views/footer.php, if found, render it.
If not found, check application/views/footer.php, if found, render it.
If not found, check all other modules views directories, if found, render it.
If not found, generate error message.
I think you get the point..
So somehow I need to check if the factory() call came from a class, if so, check which class, get the name, get the location. If not from a class - but from a viewfile - get the location of that viewfile.
