Codeigniter + HMVC + REST

Question

I'm working on Codeigniter + HMVC based application and I'm trying to add a new module. I use Phil Sturgeon's REST_Controller 2.6.0 and Format libraries to create an REST API as a module.

When I try to get for example http://api.example.com/user/id/1/ or http://api.example.com/user/id/1/format/json I gеt the below error:

 A PHP Error was encountered
 Severity: Notice
 Message: Undefined property: Api::$format
 Filename: libraries/REST_Controller.php
 Line Number: 380

In my routes.php I have this:

 $route['user/id/(:num)/format/(:any)'] = "api/user/$1/format/$2";
 $route['user/id/(:num)'] = "api/user/$1";

The directory structure of the application is:

application
--modules
----api
------config
------controller

Finlay, I use the default configurations and I didn't change anything. The Format library is auto loaded in autoload.php. Any ideas?

You need to change Rest_Controller to extend HMVC's MX_Controller rather than CI_Controller.
