MVC Help

[charltondurie]

Hi Guys,

I have been using Joomla for a long time now but have never looked into component development. I have a little experience with PHP and have just started looking into MVC structure. I am wondering if someone can guide me in the right direction with the code below.

I am simply trying to pull data from the database and display it on the page but I get the following error:

Code: Select all

Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in com_calendar\views\calendar\tmpl\default.php on line 9

com_calendar\models\calendar.php

Code: Select all

<?php

class CalendarModelCalendar extends JModelItem
{
        /**
         * @var string msg
         */
        protected $title;

         */
        function getOptions() 
        {
                $db = JFactory::getDBO();
                $query = $db->getQuery(true);
                $query->select('id,name,location,date,reg_open,reg_close,instructions');
                $query->from('#__calendar');
                $db->setQuery($query);
                $events = $db->loadRowList();

                return $events;
        }
}

        function display($tpl = null) 
        {
                // Assign data to the view
                $this->events = $this->get('Options');
 
                // Check for errors.
                if (count($errors = $this->get('Errors'))) 
                {
                        JError::raiseError(500, implode('<br />', $errors));
                        return false;
                }
