Question

I have been trying to write a Controller Plugin which I will be using for user authentication.
I have written the plugin and it should work but I just don’t get how to get the plugin loaded… I have read that the Zend Framework has a lot of autoloading possibilities..

My current directory structure:

domains
example.com
    Application
        configs
        controllers
            IndexController.php
            AuthController.php
            ErrorController.php
        forms
        layouts
            scripts
                layout.phtml
        models
        plugins
            AuthenticationPlugin.php
        views
            helpers
            scripts
                auth
                    login.phtml
                error
                    error.phtml
                index
                    index.phtml
        Bootstrap.php
    library
        Zend
    pubic_html
        .htaccess
        index.php

Can anyone help me?

Thanks in advance!

Assuming your appnamespace is Application_, then your plugin class should be:

1. named Application_Plugin_AuthenticationPlugin

2. stored in the file application/plugins/AuthenticationPlugin.php

3. registered with the frontcontroller using something like (in application/configs/application.ini):

   resources.frontController.plugins.auth = "Application_Plugin_AuthenticationPlugin"
