The example you provided illustrates how the template_map can be defined in various models within ZF2. This framework will consolidate all configurations into a single array, as outlined here:
The ModuleManager's ConfigListener combines configuration settings and merges them during module loading.
You have the flexibility to set up a template map in both module A and module B; upon examining the configuration file, you will see the combined template maps. It's crucial for template names to be unique across the application to prevent unintentional overwriting.
In Module A's module.config.php:
'view_manager' => array(
'template_map' => array(
'layout/layout' => __DIR__ . '/../view/layout.phtml',
'moduleA/list_view' => __DIR__ . '/../view/list.phtml',
'moduleA/info_view' => __DIR__ . '/../view/info.phtml',
),
)
In Module B's module.config.php:
'view_manager' => array(
'template_map' => array(
'moduleB/list_view' => __DIR__ . '/../view/list.phtml',
'moduleB/info_view' => __DIR__ . '/../view/info.phtml',
),
)
The resulting merged template_map will contain:
'layout/layout' => __DIR__ . '/../view/layout.phtml',
'moduleA/list_view' => __DIR__ . '/../view/list.phtml',
'moduleA/info_view' => __DIR__ . '/../view/info.phtml',
'moduleB/list_view' => __DIR__ . '/../view/list.phtml',
'moduleB/info_view' => __DIR__ . '/../view/info.phtml'
This setup enables access to these views across your entire application seamlessly.
