Shows how to extend a module class by a module

About

This repository should give an idea how to extend a module by a module.

Install

Switch to the root directory of the shop. You'll find the directories source/ and vendor/ there.

Execute the following commands

git clone https://github.com/michaelkeiluweit/oe_module_from_a_module _mke_repository/mke/

composer config repositories.mke/modulefromanothermodule/m1 path _mke_repository/mke/m1
composer config repositories.mke/modulefromanothermodule/m2 path _mke_repository/mke/m2

composer require michaelkeiluweit/module-from-another-module-m1:@dev
composer require michaelkeiluweit/module-from-another-module-m2:@dev

Call Module 1 somewhere, for example directly in the file source/index.php:

// ...
redirectIfShopNotConfigured();


if (!isAdmin()) { // Execute the code only in the frontend area of the shop.
    
    $m = oxNew(\OxidEsales\Eshop\Core\Module\Module::class);
    
    if ($m->load('mke-module-from-another-module-m1') && $m->isActive()) {
        $o = oxNew(MichaelKeiluweit\ModuleFromAnotherModule\Module1\Cache::class);
        $o->action();
    }
}

//Starts the shop
OxidEsales\EshopCommunity\Core\Oxid::run();

And activate at least module 1.

Please note: Since we don't call the module by a controller, the framework doesn't check if the module is active. This means the code will be executed, whether it is set active or not, as long as we don't check if it is active by ourselves (as it is done in this example).
