Hi, I'm trying to make the CI "MY_Controller" idea in FuelPHP. What I want is this. All the controllers for normal webpages (e.g. de pages for visitors) have to extend base controller like "Controller_Public". I've created a file public.php in /fuel/app/classes/controllers/ en I've placed home.php in /fuel/app/classes/controllers/public Controller_Public:

class Controller_Public extends Controller {

}

Home.php

<?php

class Controller_Home extends Controller_Template {
 
 public $template = 'layout/index';
 
 public function __construct(\Request $request, \Response $response)
 {
  parent::__construct($request, $response);
 }
 
 public function action_index()
 {
  $data['title'] = 'Peter';
  
  $this->template->content = View::factory(Request::active()->controller.'/'.Request::active()->action, $data);
 }
 
}

But that isn't working. Is my approach wrong? My routes: '_root_' => 'home/index', // The default route
'_404_' => 'home/404', // The main 404 route

Your base public controller needs to extend the Controller_Template and your home controller needs to extend your public controller. Public

class Controller_Public extends Controller_Template&#123;

}

Home

class Controller_Home extends Controller_Public&#123;

}

If you want to create multi-level base controllers, just make sure you use parent::before() function class Controller_Home extends Sell_Base { public function action_index()
{
{ } class Base extends Site_Base { public function before()
{
parent::before();
} } class Admin_Base extends Site_Base { public function before()
{
parent::before();
} } class Site_Base extends Controller_Template { public function before()
{
parent::before();
{ }

Thanks Calvin and Huzzi, that did the trick. But now I'm trying to load the content (a view) automatically, with this code in the Public controller:

<?php

class Controller_Public extends Controller_Template &#123;
 
 public $template = 'layout/index';
 
 public function before()
 &#123;
  parent::before();
  $this->template->content = View::factory(Request::active()->controller.'/'.Request::active()->action, $data);
 }
 
}

(the controller corresponds with the directory in de views directory and the action corresponds with the filename of the view) So I don't need to load the view manually in every action_ function. This works great, except for passing through the array $data with the data for the view (because the function before() sends the view before I add data to $data). So how can I send data to a view, using this "automatic view loading" code?

See the View class documentation. Your view object is stored in $this->template->content, so use $this->template->content->set() to set variables.
