Creating common controllers - El Forum - 10-11-2013

Dear All

I need to create a common controllers (kind of repositories) which access their models and use in different application.
For eg: I have 1 main set of controllers and models.

controller1.php: I have method which returns user_id


In my app 1: I will use same controller1.php but, with different behavior. it will return user_id, Contact full name
In my app 2: I will use same controller1.php but, in this case, it will return user_id, contact_id, contact name and date of birth as well.

So, base class and database interaction may remain same, but i need to extend the controllers and models.

How can i achieve this?
thank you in advance

Dear
thanks for your reply. Very much near to what i am trying to acheive.
My goal is to have common controller.

My folder structure will be:
Project
MainCI
application
controllers
user.php
models
userm.php

App1
application
controllers
user.php
models
userm.php

App2
application
controllers
user.php
models
userm.php

I want App1 user controller should be inherited from MainCI user controller.
Functionality will be almost same. In case i need more, i can add in App1 or App2 controller function.
Is it possible? how it can be done?

Well not possible with current way.

However there is an extension to share common controllers and stuffs throughout applications. XHMVC cross modular extension

I've never tried it so can't say if it works or not.
