I have a class "SuperController" which extends COntroller.
I wand to use this class for all my controllers. is it possible to include the supercontroller anywhere so i dont have to use require_once in each controller?

Name it MY_Controller so CI will load it when it loads Controller class

when i supply my subclasses with methods which i have defined in MY_Controller, e.g. "render"- is there a possibility to ensure that these methods can't be called from the frontend (browser)?

Underscore prefix the method definition, _myMethod(), underscore prefixed methods are not available to URL

true. but also not callable in my subcontroller:
$this->_render(...);
results in
Fatal error: Call to undefined method Types::_render() in D:\htdocs\codeigniter\system\application\controllers\types.php on line 46

Probably stating the obvious - the controller has to a) extend MY_Controller and b) both the method and the call need to be changed.
Other than that, I have no idea what could be going wrong.

Is there a way to extend the "MY_Controller"?
Meaning this MY_Controller is an abstract class that cannot be extended... then two sub-classes of MY_Controller (say Uno_Controller and Dos_Controller) that actually does "stuff":
Example, in application/library/
Code:
abstract class MY_Controller extends Controller
{
protected $var_1, $var_2;
function __construct($var_1, $var_2)
{
$this->var_1 = $var_1;
$this->var_2 = $var_2;
$this->_authenticate();
}
abstract public function _authenticate();
}then ALSO in library, there are two that extend this MY_Controller:
Code:
class Uno extends MY_Controller
{
function __construct()
{
parent::__construct("Hello", "World");
}
public function _authenticate()
{
print_r($this->var_1);
print_r($this->var_2);
}
}
class Dos extends MY_Controller
{
function __construct()
{
parent::__construct("Fart", "Burp");
}
public function _authenticate()
{
var_dump($this->var_1);
var_dump($this->var_2);
}
}Then in the actual application/controller/XYZ.php, you extend either Dos or Uno.
I can't seem to get this to work.
