Controllers

Permalink
Hi,

I've created a Page called "reset-password" , that page uses a template called "Basic" and that template I has an area called "content".

The content of that "content area" contains a form.

How do I declare a controller that can access this form ? and to which I could also post the data ?

Thank you for any help or idea

Have you tried the Form Block that comes with Concrete5?

If that's not enough for you, you should look into Single Pages:http://www.concrete5.org/documentation/developers/5.7/working-with-...

Yes that did the trick, create a single_page and put the template through the view.php in the themes folder, does exactly what I need.

Anyhow, the controller is not called, do you have any clue why ?

the folder structure is the following :

application
   -- controllers
       -- chat
           -- controller.php
   -- single_page
       -- chat
           -- view.php
   -- themes
       -- mytheme
          -- view.php

the theme view.php and single_page view.php are correctly rendered however the controller is not called, this is my controller code :

<?php
  echo "I'm a controller"; exit;



Thnx,
Serge

how about:

public function view() {
echo "I'm a controller";
}

No, it's not the problem, the problem is that the system never calls/executes the file controllers/chat/controller.php

It looks like if Concrete5 would expect the file in another folder

I have single pages set up like so:

application/single_pages/....
application/controllers/single_page/....

hmm, still no effect.

Very very strange, could it be related to the php version ?, I'm using 5.6.10 ?

what happens if you start from scratch, have the controller in the correct place when you register the single page and have the controller with the correct namespace, use statements and it properly extends the page controller class?

still no effect.

namespace Application\Controller\SinglePage;
use Concrete\Core\Page\Controller\PageController;
class Chat extends PageController
{
    public function view()
    {
        echo "hello";
    }
}

Here are two examples to try.

Example: named view file (donut.php)
- single page
application\single_pages\donut.php
- single page code
<h1><?php echo $test; ?></h1>

- single page controller
application\controllers\single_page\donut.php
- single page controller code
<?php
namespace Application\Controller\SinglePage;
use Concrete\Core\Page\Controller\PageController;
class Donut extends PageController
{
    public function view()
    {
        $this->set('test', 'test value');
    }
}

Example: view file as view.php
- single page
application\single_pages\donut\view.php"

The rest of the steps would be the same as the first example.
