Diffrent settings in module.config.php for every module in zf2 - php

Question

I have got two modules: admin and application in first have:
'view_helper_config' => array(
'flashmessenger' => array(
'message_open_format' => '<div%s><button data-dismiss="alert" class="close" type="button">×</button>',
'message_separator_string' => '<br>',
'message_close_string' => '</div>'
),
),
in second have:
'view_helper_config' => array(
'flashmessenger' => array(
'message_open_format' => '<ul%s><li>',
'message_separator_string' => '<li></li>',
'message_close_string' => '</li></ul>'
),
),
and it's always merged. I would like to have on every module diffrent config. How can I do it?

Answer 1

Keep in mind that your module.config.php files act a bit like cascading style sheets in that the first one gets loaded and then the settings in the subsequent files either supplement or replace the settings that were loaded by the previous files. The module.config.php files get loaded in the order that the modules are listed in project\config\application.config. In other words, the statements that you have included in two different files are equivalent to listing them one after another in the same module.config.php.
There are several solutions to your question:
Clone the helper by extending it and giving it a different name, and use different versions in different modules. (If you do this you
might even be able to set the default HTML strings in the aliases
and avoid setting them in module.config.php altogether).
Set the HTML strings in your views rather than in module.config.php. Look at the documentation to learn how.
Clone your layout.phtml and set the strings in there. The solution above requires that you set the HTML strings in each and
every view that you create, but the documentation says you can set
them in any .phtml. EdpModuleLayouts allows you to have
separate, module-specific layouts; and you can create a different
layout for each module and set your chosen HTML strings in each
layout.
Toggle HTML strings on and off with CSS classes. I use EdpModuleLayouts so that the skin for my admin module is strikingly
different from the other module(s), and so I already have alternate
CSS files for different modules. With these, it is possible to
toggle HTML strings on and off. For your application you could put
a class=”toggleFM” in relevant tags and set the CSS settings to
display: hidden; accordingly so that in one module certain
elements are rendered and in another module other elements are
rendered. This is a convoluted solution, but it allows you to set
the HTML strings in your module.config.php files if that’s what you
want to do.
EDIT
Also, take a look at your separator string. You probably want '</li><li>' and not '<li></li>' because the separator closes a list item and opens another.
