using other controller's method - El Forum - 04-19-2010 [eluser]thevenin[/eluser] Hi guys, I have two controllers: one for admin panel and one for frontend app. In both places I need a method which will output an array of objects - let's say the method name is "Rankings". Admin panel controller: Code: class Standings extends Controller { I would like to call this method in my front controller Frontpage: Code: class Frontpage extends Controller { using other controller's method - El Forum - 04-19-2010 [eluser]Mareshal[/eluser] Frontpage.php Code: require "Standings.php"; BUT, this is not recommended. try building rankings() function inside a model/library/helper . Is better. using other controller's method - El Forum - 04-19-2010 [eluser]thevenin[/eluser] Thanks. using other controller's method - El Forum - 04-19-2010 [eluser]John_Betong[/eluser] Search this forum for "extends MY_Controller". using other controller's method - El Forum - 04-19-2010 [eluser]Phil Sturgeon[/eluser] Directly calling controllers from other controllers is like bending MVC over a barrel and cracking out a truncheon... That is a horrible way to work and if you find yourself needing to do it then you are clearly doing something wrong. Either share your code in a library so the logic can be used correctly in both controllers, or redirect users to the correct controller. |
