Hey guys,
I’d like to configure a MainController to extend init() method to all my controller classes inside application.
Where Am I expected do configure it if I want it to be loaded when I access modules controllers?
I tried putting it inside main controller app path however it brings me include MainController not found error.
Some idea? Do I need use Yii::import() method in scope of each CWebmodule extended class?
Does exist some better way to do it?
I think it is better to modify the beforeControllerAction method inside your xxxModule.php to do this.
Instead, try to put your MainController at ‘extensions’ dir.
You know, I can do it in CakePHP just creating a DefaulController or something like that in app root. I can extend it to all my app controllers with no problem.
Do you think its a wrong way to do it?
thank you!
it can be done easily in Yii also. just create your MainController.php inside components directory
class MainController extends CController
{
public function init()
{
parent::init();
// add your code for init here
}
}
and inside your controllers you can simply extend MainController
class SiteController extends MainController
{
// class contents
}
you can also configure Yii so you can put your MainController.php inside the dir protected/controllers and then extending it with classes in the same dir by modifying your protected/config/main.php files as follows
.................
// autoloading model and component classes
'import'=>array(
'application.models.*',
'application.components.*',
'application.controllers.*', // added so class will be autoloaded from protected/controllers
),
.................
what i did there was add this line
'application.controllers.*',
to what was generated in the config file by default.
Thank you! 
I was expected to use it as a component because my application is structured by modules.
I think it won’t be too smart extending MainController (a root app controller) in module controllers (has own way to work) .
But this example is very important for other things I am gonna do! Thank you. I have no more doubts.
