<\/a><\/p>\nKey advantages to implementing the HMVC pattern :<\/h2>\n\n- Modularization<\/strong>: Reduction of dependencies between the disparate parts of the application.<\/li>\n
- Organization<\/strong>: Having a folder for each of the relevant triads makes for a lighter work load.<\/li>\n
- Reusability<\/strong>: By nature of the design it is easy to reuse nearly every piece of code.<\/li>\n
- Extendibility<\/strong>: Makes the application more extensible without sacrificing ease of maintenance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
in the development cycle, these advantages will allow you to get more out of your application with less problems.<\/p>\n
How to set up HMVC in CodeIgniter<\/span><\/h2>\nIt is very simple to setup HMVC in codeigniter :<\/strong><\/p>\nStep 1.<\/span><\/strong> Open codeigniter-modular-extensions-hmvc.

I added also image of htaccess file that you can add in hmvc folder root where you are hosted to avoid display of ugly index.php into codeigniter urls (See pictures below).<\/p>\nStep 2.<\/span><\/strong> Unzip the hmvc modular extensions package.<\/p>\nStep 3.<\/span><\/strong> Move all of the files from the newly extracted folder\u2019s .\/core\/<\/strong> directory to CodeIgniter\u2019s\/application\/core\/<\/strong> directory on your server.

\nto CodeIgniter\u2019s \/application\/third-party\/<\/strong> directory on your server.<\/p>\nStep 5.<\/span><\/strong> Create a new folder called modules<\/strong> under applications, where you will create your HMVC modules for a project.<\/p>\n![\"hmvc-structure\"](\"http:\/\/www.extradrm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/hmvc-structure.jpg\")

<\/a><\/p>\nImportant notes about HMVC with Codeigniter 2.1.3<\/span><\/h2>\nTo use Modular Separation only, without HMVC, controllers will extend the CodeIgniter Controller class ie:<\/p>\n
<?php if ( ! defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');\r\nclass login extends CI_Controller \r\n{\r\n function __construct()\r\n {\r\n parent::__construct();\r\n }\r\n}<\/pre>\nConstructors are not required unless you need to load or process something when the controller is first created.<\/p>\n
To use HMVC functionality, such as Modules::run(), controllers must extend the MX_Controller class.
\nYou must use PHP5 style constructors in your controllers. ie:<\/p>\n
<?php if ( ! defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');\r\nclass tasks extends MX_Controller \r\n{\r\n function __construct()\r\n {\r\n parent::__construct();\r\n }\r\n}<\/pre>\nControllers may be loaded from application\/controllers sub-directories.
\nControllers may also be loaded from module\/controllers sub-directories.
\nResources may be cross loaded between modules. ie:<\/p>\n
$this->load->model('module\/model');<\/pre>\n
\nHow tu use Modules Run<\/span><\/h2>\nTo use HMVC functionality, such as Modules::run(), controllers must extend the MX_Controller class.<\/p>\n
Modules::run() is designed for returning view partials<\/strong>, and it will return buffered output (a view) from a controller. The syntax for using modules::run is a URI style segmented string and unlimited variables.<\/p>\n\/** module and controller names are different, you must include the method name also, including 'index' **\/\r\nmodules::run('module\/controller\/method', $params, $...);\r\n\r\n\/** module and controller names are the same but the method is not 'index' **\/\r\nmodules::run('module\/method', $params, $...);\r\n\r\n\/** module and controller names are the same and the method is 'index' **\/\r\nmodules::run('module', $params, $...);\r\n\r\n\/** Parameters are optional, You may pass any number of parameters. **\/<\/pre>\nTo call a module controller from within a controller you can use $this->load->module() or Modules::load() and PHP5 method chaining is available for any object loaded by MX. ie:<\/p>\n
$this->load->library('validation')->run().<\/pre>\nTo load languages for modules it is recommended to use the Loader method which will pass the active module name to the Lang instance; ie:<\/p>\n
$this->load->language('language_file');<\/pre>\nTo load helpers inside modules it is recommended to use the Loader method which will pass the active module name to the Helper instance; ie:<\/p>\n
$this->load->helper('<module_name>\/<helper_name>')<\/pre>\nForm validation with MX<\/h2>\n
When using form validation with MX you will need to extend the CI_Form_validation class as shown below,<\/p>\n
<?php\r\n\/** application\/libraries\/MY_Form_validation **\/ \r\nclass MY_Form_validation extends CI_Form_validation \r\n{\r\n public $CI;\r\n}<\/pre>\nbefore assigning the current controller as the $CI variable to the form_validation library. This will allow your callback methods to function properly. (This has been discussed on the CI forums also).<\/p>\n
<?php\r\nclass tasks extends MX_Controller \r\n{\r\n function __construct()\r\n {\r\n parent::__construct();\r\n\r\n $this->load->library('form_validation');\r\n $this->form_validation->CI =& $this;\r\n }\r\n}<\/pre>\nView Partials<\/h2>\n
Using a Module as a view partial from within a view is as easy as writing:<\/p>\n
<?php echo Modules::run('module\/controller\/method', $param, $...); ?><\/pre>\nParameters are optional, You may pass any number of parameters.<\/p>\n
\r\necho \"<hr>\";\r\necho Modules::run('nofun\/sayhello', $name);\r\n?>\r\n\t\t<?php> \r\n\t\t\/* $this->load->model('YOUR_MODULE_FOLDER_NAME\/MODEL_NAME');*\/\r\n\t\t$this->load->model('acl\/acl_model');\r\n\t\tif(!$this->acl_model->user_has_perm($this->session->userdata('user_id'), 'add_role')): ?>\r\n\t\t<div class=\"well\">\r\n\t\t\t<h4Add Role<\/h4>\r\n\t\t\t<p>You do not have permission to view this form<\/p>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<?php endif; ?>\r\n<\/pre>\nNow, we will go to the first tutorial (will be available Soonly) …<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
