创建Zend可扩展应用程序

Question

I'm looking for a way to create zend-based application (web store) which I would extend by plugins in the future. For now I have base functionality (browsing products, make orders etc).

What I need is make possibility to attach plugins to this app. By "plugin" I mean some static files structure in sepearated directory. One of plugins, which I want to write in future is allegro(polish eBay like)-integration tool. it would operate on existing models (user, product etc). It needs to have their own controller which would be executed in backend; Some other should be like public-accessible simple gallery for front-end. Some of other plugins should be able to attach content on previously definied spots in view.

I have no idea how can I reach this. Every of these plugins should have their own directory and It's very important;

Maybe there is some free extensible zend-based CMS? what would be yours choice? Please for ideas and thanks for help

Answer 1

You are looking for zend module. Each module will be having independent functionality.

Module structure is below

zf2-tutorial/
    /module
        /Album
            /config
            /src
                /Album
                    /Controller
                    /Form
                    /Model
            /view
                /album
                    /album

Likewise you can have modules like Oerder, Payment, User etc etc.

And you can create some interface to communicate through modules.
