Multiple module layout

Hi!, in your index:

        $application->registerModules(
            array(
                'public' => array(
                    'className' => 'Frontend\Module',
                    'path' => '../app/frontend/Module.php'
                ),
                'private' => array(
                    'className' => 'Backend\Module',
                    'path' => '../app/backend/Module.php'
                ),
                'common' => array(
                    'className' => 'Common\Module',
                    'path' => '../app/common/Module.php'
                )
            )
    );
    $response = $application->handle()->getContent();

after, create a file called Module.php into the folder for the module, example:

app/common/Module.php
app/frontend/Module.php
app/backend/Module.php

and in every Module define:

<?php

    namespace Frontend;

    use Phalcon\Mvc\Dispatcher,
        Phalcon\Mvc\View,
        Phalcon\Mvc\ModuleDefinitionInterface;

    class Module implements ModuleDefinitionInterface {

        /**
         * Register a specific autoloader for the module
         */
        public function registerAutoloaders(\Phalcon\DiInterface $di = null) {

        }

        /**
         * Register specific services for the module
         */
        public function registerServices(\Phalcon\DiInterface $di) {
            //Registering a dispatcher
            $di->set('dispatcher', function () use ($di) {
                $dispatcher = new Dispatcher();
                $dispatcher->setDefaultNamespace("Frontend\Controllers");
    //            $dispatcher->setEventsManager($di->get('eventsManager'));
                return $dispatcher;
            });

            //Registering the view component
            $di->set('view', function() {
                $view = new View();
                $view->setViewsDir(APP_PATH.'app/frontend/views/');
                $view->registerEngines(array('.volt' => 'voltService'));
                return $view;
            });
        }

    }

don't forget, change, the namespace's name, reference name.

you folder app:

app/frontend controllers views

app/backend controllers views models , etc...

and in your route: something like:

$di->set('router', function () {
        $router = new Router(false);
        $router->setDefaultModule("backend");
        $router->setDefaultAction('index');
        $router->notFound(array(
            'module' => 'common',
            'controller' => 'error',
            'action' => 'index',
            'params' => '0404'
        ));

        $router->add('/', array(
            'module' => 'public',
            'controller' => 'login',
            'action' => 'index',
        ));
        $router->add('/:module/:controller', array(
            'module' => 1,
            'controller' => 2,
            'action' => 'index',
        ));
        $router->add('/:module/:controller/([a-z]+)\.(json|html)/:params', array(
            'module' => 1,
            'controller' => 2,
            'action' => 3,
            'type' => 4,
            'params' => 5
        ));
        $router->add('/:module/:controller/([a-z]+)\.(json|html)', array(
            'module' => 1,
            'controller' => 2,
            'action' => 3
        ));
        return $router;
    });

Try!, ;)

Hugo, I tried the solutions you suggested, but I'm still getting the default index page no matter what URL I provide. I can't even get to the 404 error when I provide a URL to a module that doesn't exist. You can see my code at https://github.com/farstrider/phalcon.farstrider.eu and the results at https://phalcon.farstrider.eu

in your index add at top:

    error_reporting(E_ALL);

to see errors,

I fork your project, and fixed the problem!, try now ;)!

I merged your changes, but navigating to the temple module (phalcon.farstrider.eu/temple) still returns the default index page. Even when I try to produce a 404 error -- by navigating to phalcon.farstrider.eu/notfound, for instance -- the default index page is displayed rather than an error page.

your virtual hosts is oks? this is mine, for your app:

    <VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName helping
    ServerAlias helping.common
    DocumentRoot "/var/www/helping/public"

    ErrorLog "/var/log/helping-error.log"
    CustomLog "/var/log/helping.-access.log" combined
</VirtualHost>

Yes, my virtual host is set up properly. The only part that might be an issue is my rewrite rules:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine   On
    RewriteCond     %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteCond     %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteRule     ^(.*)$          index.php   [QSA,L]
</IfModule>

In theory, this should produce URLs such as: www.example.com/module/controller/action/param1/param2 (as it does with Zend Framework).

I tinkered with the code some more, but it's still not working. The default index template is always returned, regardless of the URL entered. To me, this is a clear indication that, for some reason, the routes are not being properly parsed.

in my pc: when i go to:

https://helping/temple

the response:

Test! Temple

For you what response?

When i try:

https://helping/notfoundpage

the response:

There was an error!

for you?

You can see my results at https://phalcon.farstrider.eu As you can see, the same page is returned no matter how you change the URL.

You can see my rewrite rules above, and the Virtual Host I'm using is as follows:

<VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerName phalcon.farstrider.eu
        DocumentRoot /home/farstrider/www/farstrider.eu/phalcon/public/

        CustomLog /home/farstrider/logs/farstrider.eu/phalcon/access_log combined
        ErrorLog /home/farstrider/logs/farstrider.eu/phalcon/error_log

        SetEnv APPLICATION_ENV "production"
        <Directory "/home/farstrider/www/farstrider.eu/phalcon">
                Order deny,allow
                Deny from all
        </Directory>
        <Directory "/home/farstrider/www/farstrider.eu/phalcon/public">
                DirectoryIndex index.php
                AllowOverride All
                Order allow,deny
                Allow from all
        </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

:)! Good!
