Multiple models - no data retrieved

[Hamlet55]

Hi!

I am trying to use multiple models in my view. My view is a single items and the models are lists displayed within the view using tabs.

in my controller I added the setModel in the display function

Code: Select all

class ComplianceControllerCompliance extends JControllerForm
{
    public function display( $cachable = false, $urlparam = array() )
   {		
        $view = $this->getView( 'myview', 'html' );
        $view->setModel( $this->getModel( 'mymodel' ), true );		
        $view->setModel( $this->getModel( 'content' ) );
			
        $view->display();
    }

In my view I try to access the needed information like this

Code: Select all

$this->content_items		= $this->get( 'Items', 'content' );
$this->content_pagination = $this->get( 'Pagination', 'content' );
$this->content_state		= $this->get( 'State', 'content' );

but I dont get any information.
Furthermore while debugging and setting my breakpoint in the controllers display function I never get there?!

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance!

I think the main issue that should be addressed first is that you're never getting to the display function. Are you even getting to that controller file at all?

The whole multiple model thing cannot be expected to work if the display function in the controller is not called. I think if you provide us with more context (essentially the code to your extension - just the prototypes), then we can be of more help.

Yes, since the constructor gets called, I find it interesting that it seems to get called after I close my view, I know I get to the file at least.

This is the call to the view

Code: Select all

index.php?option=com_component&view=compliance&layout=edit&new=1&id=1

As far as I understand it, if you omit the task it should be the "display" task by default.

I am writing a component here, so I am not quite sure which information you need.
Do you need the "main" controller for my component?

It would be great if you can include all the files. Have you tried to hardcode the task in the link (&task=display);
