Hi,
I need to have a module plugin available in my theme. How do I tell my theme that I want to have plugins from my module loaded? Any tips are appreciated.
Greetings/Thanks

I know how to do it in 1.3, but I'm not sure its even possible in 1.2.x. maybe try putting it in MyTheme/templates/plugins/? -

In the module installer, you register a Persistent handler to make all your plugins available.
then that callable needs to add the plugin directory to the view stack.
It's pretty slick actually. -

I just looked at the pnRender class and found the function _add_plugins_dir() ... I haven't tried it yet, but I'm guessing this can be used to force the loading of module plugins ...

Robert,
You should not need to do that. AFAIK themes automatically register the theme/Name/templates/plugins folder.

OK, but that means that I need to copy my module plugin to theme/Name/templates/plugins ... I somehow don't like having multiple pieces of code floating around my code tree ... OTOH, if it works and that's the way to do it, I'll gladly take it as a solution ...

Sure, but since you are using Zikula 1.2.x, this is your only option.
From 1.3.0 you can do as Craig says. You can register a persistent event handler (intercepting theme.init or view.init depending on what you want to do) which can then register the plugin. From 1.3.0 calling Smarty methods directly is not allowed, you must use the methods provided in the Zikula_View class.

I remember a config feature available for modules,
that I see is available for themes too on the 1.2.4 code (pnTheme.class.php):
Use a text file indicating which module plugin paths needs to be added:
/templates/config/usemodules.txt
Each line should be a module name, for instance:
If you rely on plugins of those modules.Code
News
scribite
If it doesn't work, remove the TXT extension.
I remember I've added it because windows doesn't allow files without extension, but it was like that for previous versions.
Try it.

Ah yes, I remember this now - but word of warning. That is for Zikula 1.2.x or less. From Zikula 1.3.0 you should use the persistent handlers because usemodules.txt is deprecated and will not work when legacy mode is disable (and will be removed entirely from 1.4.0).
