I am very new to Yii so I may be going around my problem the wrong way.
What is the best way to split an action into more actions?
e.g. For my gaming statistical website:
http://localhost/sta…d/1/list/weapon
I want it to use the MatchController with the show action, which then either does the 'weapon','team' or 'player' actions.
Thanks,
Waoh, I swear I was in General Discussion? Feel free to move this thread… thanks,
Are weapon/team/player really actions that can be directly accessed via /index.php/match/weapon ? If not, they are merely normal class methods, and you can invoke them in actionShow() as usual. If yes, you may call $this->run('weapon') to execute this action. However, this practice is not recommended.
Ok, I am just wondering on the conventional method of doing this.
Does this look right?
class MatchController {
...
public function actionShow()
{
$list = (isset($_GET['list']) ? $_GET['list'] : 'index');
switch ($list)
{
case 'index':
$this->matchIndex();
break;
case 'weapon':
$this->matchWeapon();
break;
}
}
private function matchIndex()
{
$criteria = new CDbCriteria;
$matches = Match::model()->findAll($criteria);
$this->render('index', array(
'matches'=>$matches,
));
}
private function matchWeapon()
{
$criteria = new CDbCriteria;
$weapons = Weapon::model()->findAll($criteria);
$this->render('weapon', array(
'weapons'=>$weapons,
));
}
}
Edit: weapon/team/player are not real actions, they are just different views really.
Yeah, this should be fine. Just remember an action is supposed to be an interface for end users to call upon (in the form of controllerID/actionID).
