View cell controllers in a folder - legon614 - 08-19-2020
Hi, I started using view cells, which is really nice. I have the logic in App\Controllers and it works like a charm. Now I want to move them to App\Controllers\ViewCells folder, but I get an error.
"Unable to locate view cell class: \App\Controllers\ViewCells\DialogSound."
Any idea on how to solve this? Controllers seems to be the place for them since they inherit the basecontroller as well. They need some data.

Hi, you need to show us some code, on how you try to load it. And information on how you named them. As case sensitivity are importent.

Did you change the namespace when you moved them?

From the view:
PHP Code:
<?= view_cell('\App\Controllers\ViewCells\DialogSound::index') ?>app/Controllers/ViewCells/DialogSound.php (controller):
PHP Code:
namespace App\Controllers;
class DialogSound extends BaseController
{
public function index()
{
$data['user'] = $this->datalib::$user;
return view('viewCells/dialog_sound', $data);
}
}
I tried changing the namespace to App\Controllers\ViewCells but then it wasn't the same as the BaseController.

I tried... with App\Controllers\ViewCells - the same as the folder structure. But it extends BaseController which uses App\Controllers. My PHP knowledge is not good enough to figure this one out

Hi, this should do the trick.
PHP Code:
namespace App\Controllers\ViewCells;
use \App\Controllers\BaseController;
// rest as is
or
PHP Code:
namespace App\Controllers\ViewCells;
class DialogSound extends \App\Controllers\BaseController
// rest as is

OMG it did! You are a legend! Thank you very much
Proof of my lacking PHP skills.While you are here.... do you know if it's bad for performance to have 3-6 of these view cells on a single page? I have a template and I rather not have all data put into it. It becomes a mess quickly.

Your welcome, namespacing itself are quite old, but I just learned it two years ago. And now I can't go back...
No, that's a rather small number, as I would do that for all my widgets. But remember to utilize some sort of cache, either in the view cell themselves or cache the entire page.

How do you enable such cacheing?
Is it on page? Or... ?
Thank you
