Core Services

Pubvana exposes a set of services in app/Services/ that extension developers can consume via CI4's service() helper. These services own the major subsystems — themes, widgets, plugins, marketplace, SEO, media, and activity logging.

Accessing Services

Use CI4's service locator:

$theme   = service('theme');
$widgets = service('widgets');
$seo     = service('seo');
$media   = service('media');

PluginManager uses its own singleton pattern:

$pm = AppServicesPluginManager::instance();

ActivityLogger is a static class — no service() call needed:

AppServicesActivityLogger::log('post.created', 'post', $postId, 'Post created');
