Never | Work in Progress |
The class constructor performs the necessary tasks to instantiate the controller.
This involves the following steps:
- initialize private variables
- determine the methods to be mapped to tasks by detecting which methods do not exist in the base JController class
- register the default task
- set the default model search path
- set the default view search path
Syntax
JController __construct ( $config )
| $config | array | is an optional associative array of configuration settings. Recognized key values include ‘name’, ‘default_task’, ‘model_path’, and ‘view_path’ (this list is not meant to be comprehensive). |
Examples
A controller is often instantiated in the component entry point (the admin.component.php or component.php file, where component is the name of the component). This might be done in the following way:
Example
$controller = new BannersController( array('default_task' => 'click') );
