Question

I have an auth plugin working. I am trying to add ACL to it according to the excellent video series at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b6qsSnLfcmE&feature=relmfu.

My problem is that when I try to register the model in Bootstrap so that I can pass the instance to the plugin, I get a server 500 error. My bootstrap looks like this…

class Bootstrap extends Zend_Application_Bootstrap_Bootstrap
{
protected function _initAutoload()
{
    $modelLoader = new Zend_Application_Module_AutoLoader(array(
        'namespace' => '',
        'basePath'  => APPLICATION_PATH));

    $acl = new Model_SystemAcl;
    $auth = Zend_Auth::getInstance();

    $fc = Zend_Controller_Front::getInstance();
    $fc->registerPlugin(new Plugin_AccessCheck($acl,$auth));

    return $modelLoader;
}

}

It is the line:

$acl = new Model_SystemAcl;

That is causing the problem. If I comment it out (and the $acl parameter that is passed) it works fine. It appears as though somehow my system is not configured properly to load models. This is the entire Bootstrap shown in the tutorial btw. Perhaps there is something in Application.ini I need?

EDIT: Yes, SystemAcl.php exists and is in [applicationdir]/models

This is a full example for load models from the application namespace “Application”

$resourceLoader = new Zend_Loader_Autoloader_Resource(
    array(
         'basePath'  => APPLICATION_PATH,
         'namespace' => 'Application',
    )
);
$resourceLoader->addResourceType('model', 'models/', 'Model');

$autoloader = Zend_Loader_Autoloader::getInstance();
$autoloader->pushAutoloader($resourceLoader);
