Hi AD!
Thanks for your reply!
Ok, I'm beginning to see it:
I've created a new component: test.php in controllers/components
class TestComponent extends TemplateComponent {
var $name= 'Test';
function _getData() {
// some data for testing purposes
$data = 'hello world';
return $data;
}
}
In my posts_controller I added:
var $components = array ('Test');
And in views/posts/index.thtml:
<? php print_r($MenuContext); ?>
But I keep getting the error:
Call to a member function on a non-object in /var/www/vhosts/zomp.nl/
httpdocs/framework/app/controllers/components/template.php on line 213
Maybe I'm still doing something silly, but I don't see it now.
I've succeeded in creating a widget menu-structure using requestAction
and the plugins-system, but since many requestAction calls can easily
increase page loading times, I think your solution would be much more
elegant.
Thanks!
Gerben.
