Load a module and then controller by default in Kohana 2.3.4

Working in Kohana 2.3.4, I need to load a module when I go to example.com.

In the routes.php file you can开发者_StackOverflow specify a default controller like:

$config['_default'] = 'welcome'; 

but that refers to the controllers within the main application.

Is there a way to load a module by default, and then specify the default controller to load within that module?

In 2.3.4 you need to specify which modules you are loading in your application/config/config.php. Once they're loaded you can use them in your routing just as you would your standard controllers.

Assuming within your module you had a controller named foo and a method named bar your default route would simply be:

$config['_default'] = 'foo/bar';

Example config from http://docs.kohanaphp.com/general/modules

// Paths are relative to the docroot, but absolute paths are also possible
// Use the MODPATH constant (?)
$config['modules'] = array
(
    MODPATH.'acl',
    MODPATH.'auth',
)

It's worth noting that the Kohana filesystem is cascading so duplicate controllers (and other files) in your application folder would override module controllers which in turn override the system controllers.
