Problem on extending Controller

Archives Yii 1.0.x Discussions

Hi, I would like to create a BaseController and extends other controllers from that. So I’ve created a BaseController with this code:




class BaseController extends CController {


}

But if I do:




class OtherController extends BaseController {


}

it gives me this error:




Description


include(BaseController.php) [<a href='function.include'>function.include</a>]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory


Source File


/var/www/dibevit/framework/YiiBase.php(316)

Both are under protected/controller directory.

Any hint?

you need to do a basic php lesson:


require 'BaseController.php';

You could put BaseController.php in the protected/components directory and it will work perfectly

@jayrulez: it works thanks… now I don’t understand why Yii isn’t designed to put BaseController inside protected/controller

it is more logical to me

if you add the the path of protected/controllers to the php include paths then it would work right away without you having to inlclude/require the file with a line of code. what i suggested works only because the path for components is added through the app config here


        'import'=>array(

                'application.models.*',

                'application.components.*',

        ),

maybe you could add a line to it saying ‘application.controllers.*’,

I’m not sure what that effect that would have on your app but if you want a more appropriate place to put your base controller then you could try that. (i was ok with placing it in the components directory)
