hello i got a error when im using a common controller in subdirectory of controller
For eg
all inside controller

controllers/backend/common.php
class Controller_Common extends Controller_Template{
//something goes here
}

again another class
controllers/backend/post.php

class Post extends Controller_Common{
}
ErrorException [ Error ]: Class 'Controller_Backend' not found

but it works fine when i am not using this inside subdirectory(i.e.)
control
contoller/posts.php
controller/common.php
Is this a bug or i need to do more configuration. I have one more question. what is bootstrap file and how to use it to create a simple package.I am using the self classes which i put in classes directory.Somewhere in the forum i read that packages will be easy to manage than the class.so please help me in this issuees. any sugesstion will be appreciated

They need to be full paths

class Controller_Backend_Common extends Controller_Template&#123;

Not I added backend to the class name.

Again i encountered with certain problem

class Post extends Controller_Common{ 
 public function __construct() {
        parent::__construct();
    }
    
    function action_index(){
        $this->template->title="Welcome Admin";
        $this->template->content=View::factory('admin/index');
    }
}
ErrorException [ Error ]: Call to a member function body() on a non-object

COREPATH/classes/controller/template.php @ line 56

Why are you overwriting the __construct() method? You're disabling an important part of Fuel's application flow by doing this, thus causing your error. EDIT
There's actually a warning about this in the latest version of the docs which isn't yet on the website:
Don't overwrite the class constructor __construct(), use before() instead. Unless you have studied the base Controller from the Core first and understand how it must be extended not to break Fuel.

Thanks its solved.Cant we use constructor in any part of the application?

Jelmer Schreuder

Of course you can use it, the Controller is an exception though because it needs to extend its base controller constructor exactly in order to get both the Response & Request objects set on it. You can still do it, but as I quoted from the latest docs: only if you know what you're doing by replacing it. The before() method is used instead of the constructor for this reason.

class Controller_Post extends Controller_Common {
    // Code here.
}

Be sure to properly name your classes.
