Question

I have hmvc setup and working fine,

I have a gallery module.

The gallery module breaks down into three controllers and it’s structure is as follows:

/modules/gallery/
/modules/gallery/config/
/modules/gallery/helpers/
/modules/gallery/controllers/
/modules/gallery/controllers/gallery.php
/modules/gallery/controllers/galleries.php
/modules/gallery/controllers/images.php
/modules/gallery/models/
/modules/gallery/models/galleriesmodel.php
/modules/gallery/models/imagesmodel.php
/modules/gallery/views/dashboard.tpl
/modules/gallery/views/galleries/dashboard.tpl
/modules/gallery/views/images/dashboard.tpl

anyway, I have a function inside my images.php controller called list_items

So I want to map the url
http://example.com/gallery/images/list to
http://example.com/gallery/images/list_items

So I thought, sweet as,
I will just add a /modules/gallery/config/routes.php with the route inside it.

But it seems the routes are not being included.

The routes from /application/config/routes.php are included and if I put a die('loaded') in the module routes.php the it does kill the script,

But running

print_r($this->router) from one of the controllers does not show up any of the routes from the module routes.php.

What’s going on here?

As far as I know,

HMVC only looks for requested controllers inside each module, with different hierarchy models, but route overrides using routes.php within modules are never read.

Look into MX_Router::locate it never looks for routes.php inside any module.

Also it does not override CI_Router::_set_routing which looks for routes.php in config folder.

You will have to override CI_Router::_set_routing and read config/router.php in every available module for your module route overrides to work.
