Thanks for this wonderful article!
I’ve a question about registe a plugin in the application.ini, what does “CheckHasAcess” in “plugins.CheckHasAcess” mean? How would it make a difference if I change it to “plugins.has”
?resources.frontController.plugins.CheckHasAcess= “My_Controller_Plugin_CheckHasAccess”

Thanks!

@guelmismr Have you looked at the Zend Framework Quickstart? I suggest that you read it first: http://framework.zend.com/docs/quickstart

And also this: http://akrabat.com/zend-framework-tutorial/

Both tutorials should be helpful.

Recently I started to get familiar with the MVC and I was recomended to work with Zend Framework, but it has taken me several days trying to configure the Boostrap.php, the .htacces and index.php on public folder, so far it works for the IndexController and ErrorController, but when adding new controllers is not very clear how should I call them, because I can not even define who is the front controller, I need a basic setup to begin to develop an application, the base. Could someone help me?

Hi, and thanks for the article! You did great job. Actually I was working on something that should be done with ZF custom plugins and finally that lovely post. The only other author I found talking about Front_Controller plugins my be interesting to you. It's here

@Oliver
Like Wenbert said, a lot of things can be found in the source code. Apart form a few really complex components (Zend_Form, Zend_Db) most of it isn’t really that hard to understand. As for resources, check the:
library/Zend/Application/Resource
folder. All the resources that are available out-of-the-box are in there. Unfortunately, this does not include Zend_Log.
On the bright side, it’s quite easy to make your own resource plugin. Check: the manual on that. I did the same, also for Zend_Log ;)

What i like to know is, if it’s possible to register plugins that take constructor arguments. And if so, how?
The only way I can see now is to write your own frontcontroller resources, and register your plugins there the ‘old-fashion’ way. But that seems a bit dodgy..

@Oliver I’m glad you found the post useful :)

Sometimes, I feel the same about the documentation. When I am confused I usually dig into the Zend Framework code — inside the /library/Zend folder — from there I take a peek at the files. I also do a lot of Zend_Debug::dump($var). If these get out of hand, I go to the Nabble mailing list: http://www.nabble.com/Zend-Framework-Community-f16154.html Matthew and the other Zend guys are always there to help.

Searching Google using “site:zend.com keyword” is also useful.

Thanks for the tip.

I’m using ZF 1.8 for the first time on a live project, and I must say that, while the framework is a pleasure to work with, the documentation is driving me mad. I can’t find any mention of the new resources object in the application.ini or its parameters, and, while I like that it can hook up a database automatically, I hate that I don’t know what’s going on under the hood for that to happen.

How do I find out what options are available by default and which I have to instantiate manually? Can I get to instantiate – for example – an instance of Zend_Log?
