nif: yeah, what you're describing sounds like a mess. In you're case, I'd recommend a re-write. But if you're not going to do that, then the most direct route (easiest) is to do that curl call instead. |

controllers aren't meant to do work like that...they're just supposed to direct traffic per se |

feens |
ya....that's not so good |

Jan 29th 2014, 20:41 |

it is... but the component uses a different controller to get some work done |
| # |

I'm assuming calling a controller via a component opening a whole can of worms |
| # |
Jan 29th 2014, 20:41 |

components should indeed not call controllers |
| # |
Jan 29th 2014, 20:41 |

...isn't the purpose of a comment to be used in a controller (not called by one)? |

you can think of the shell as being equivalent to the controller in this case. It's theoretically possible to call controller actions from the shell but not pleasant. Curl is possible, but again: rewrite this |
| # |

the most direct route would probably be to do as feens suggests and just do a curl callâ?¦though it makes me cringe that you're gonna go through the web stack to execute local code. |

nif: the reason you're getting an error is probably because you're not passing a component colleciton from the shell. |
| # |
Jan 29th 2014, 20:38 |
feens |
nif: well, if you're just trying to call the controller, why not just do like a curl call |

ok... i know this hasn't been built in the best way... time and budget constraints and taking up a new framework saw to that. however, i cannot change the way it is built now. i kind of have to make this work and with minimal changes to the app code that exists now. moving stuff to the model could throw the whole thing out. is there no way to make this work as is? and then i promise to build it better next time! :) |

the side benefit of this is that you get to do $uses = array('Modelname'); in your shell and have access to it there |

almost all of it |

your functionality should be part of the model layer |

sorry, to clarify, this is the first time i am creating a shell like this. |
| # |
Jan 29th 2014, 20:35 |
nif |
ok... but the method in the controller that the component calls is used in several places in my app... wouldn't that affect it? |
| # |
Jan 29th 2014, 20:34 |
nif |
not that i know of? i have functionality in my app that i need to call at intervals. the idea is that i would create a shell and then run a cron on it. as far as i know this is the only way to get that done? |

nif: You'll want to move any code that needs to be referenced by both a component and the shell to your app lib. Components are intended for use by controllers. |

I would think hat semantically a shell probably shouldn't call a controller...doesn't that kind of defeat the purpose of using a shell? |

Hi there, |

never mind, I see how to do it now |

(I have defaults set on the form object) |
| # |
Jan 29th 2014, 20:11 |

with formhelper/input, is there a way to supply a label text, but not have it change what's set for the label class? |

since im building the checkbox using a $this->find->list and a foreach on the array. |

tigrang: thanks. I guess in my case i can show the info i want without the need to use a HABTM, but since its a multiple choice checkbox, i loose the ability to show to the user what were the "Exams" he already choose before. |

The setup: School | Season | Exam , 3 models. In a controller i need to show a choice for the user (School) where he should select the Exams the School will make in that Season. (from multiple seasons of choice) |
