Custom Controller - kylevorster - 11-27-2014
Hey there,
I'm having no luck with a custom controller I'm trying to use, I've got two, the first one works 100% but the second one is giving me problems. Here's my setup.
My Working Controller
# /config/config.php
PHP Code:
$config['subclass_prefix'] = 'SH_';
# /core/SH_Controller
PHP Code:
class SH_Controller extends CI_Controller {
public function __construct()
{
parent::__construct();
}
}
# Controllers/home.php
PHP Code:
class Home extends SH_Controller {
function __construct()
{
parent::__construct();
}
}
And the one that's not working.
# core/SH_Shopping.php
PHP Code:
class SH_Shopping extends CI_Controller {
public function __construct()
{
parent::__construct();
}
}
# controllers/store.php
PHP Code:
class Store extends SH_Shopping {
function __construct()
{
parent::__construct();
}
}
I've read everything online about adding __autoload in the config etc but nothing seems to work ... Any idea's ?

Take a look at the core system files in the CodeIgniter.php file you can see how the subclass prefix is used when loading controllers.
Line 237 - 240
if (file_exists(APPPATH.'core/'.$CFG->config['subclass_prefix'].'Controller.php'))
{
require APPPATH.'core/'.$CFG->config['subclass_prefix'].'Controller.php';
}
When you name it other than _Controller the system does not seem to register that, in order to have a Controller that does not end with _Controller you're out of luck. Is there a reason you need to run multiple controller types? Is there a library solution that would work just as well?

I had an issue a while back with just about every method to get CI to load my admin_controller from the core folder. so what i did was at the end of the MY_Controller file i added a require_once statement.
so if your set on doing it this way two things,
first make your SH_Shopping controller extend SH_Controller. That way any functionality in SH_Controller will be available to your SH_Shopping controller.
then the next step would be to make your SH_Controller class file look like this:
PHP Code:
class SH_Controller extends CI_Controller {
public function __construct()
{
parent::__construct();
}
}
if ( ! class_exists('SH_Shopping'))
{
require_once APPPATH.'core/SH_Shopping.php';
}

Thank you for that code Hobbes, I think that's exactly what I will do.
Correct me if I'm wrong but should the include not read.
PHP Code:
if ( class_exists('SH_Shopping'))
{
require_once APPPATH.'core/SH_Shopping.php';
}

lol no problem.

RE: Custom Controller - sv3tli0 - 11-27-2014
This hack is ok but why do you need 2 CORE controllers ?
RE: Custom Controller - includebeer - 11-27-2014
The "core" folder is to replace or extend an existing CI core class. You exdended the CI_Controller class with SH_Controller, that's ok. But Shopping is not a core class. There's no CI_Shopping class in CodeIgniter. You need to put this file in the "controllers" folder.
RE: Custom Controller - Rumolt - 11-27-2014
Add the code (in core/SH_Shopping.php) to the file /core/SH_Controller.php
It will work fine.
