php - Module-specific Controller plugins in Zend Framework -

my zend framework project divided modules. each module has specific controller plugins.

now, problem all plugins loaded , registered (and thus, called) - no matter module user trying access.

i could test in module , stop execution directly in plugins, have in each , every plugin...

is there elegant way register module-specific plugins? or trying solve wrong problem here?

this example of module specific plugins

taken http://weierophinney.net/matthew/archives/234-module-bootstraps-in-zend-framework-dos-and-donts.html

class foomodule_plugin_layout extends zend_controller_plugin_abstract {     public function dispatchloopstartup(zend_controller_request_abstract $request)     {         if ('foomodule' != $request->getmodulename()) {             // if not in module, return             return;         }          // change layout         zend_layout::getmvcinstance()->setlayout('foomodule');     } } 

update: in case missed , there other ways listed in same article above :

isn't there better way this?

yes, there better ways accomplish this. true problem modules second-class citizens in zf currently. there few neat ideas floating around: kathryn's active module config

jeroen's moduleconfig

matthijs' moduleconfig

pádraic , rob's module configurators proposal
