Controller interation with Model-View

[oc666]

Hello
I build a component which the controller make some actions which return array with values. Those values need to manipulate the page that open after the controller make the actions.
I need some action to pass values to the model or view directly without setRedirect method. How could I do that?

Thanks

set a task for the controller to intercept and process.
use JReqest::getVar() to capture POST vars.
use setVar() to set what view or layout you want.

Could you give me an example or some more info, please?

I read about it and I've one last question. If I use JReqest::setVar() and then redirect to other page. Could I use the variables I set in the page I redirect into?

Thanks

If you mean the variables collected from a post method, the answer is yes. Assign the references in the the layout view.
Note that the contents of the last post operation is what will be in the array.
The best way to get a feel for it is to do some experimentation to find out how these things work.

maybe this could help

$view=&$this->getView($viewName,$viewType);
$view->assignRef('mBooks', $mBooks);
$view->assignRef('mWorks', $mWorks);

you set new var mWorks and give it value of $mWorks
