Looking less positive, I'm afraid. Since cake tries to instantiate all components in the $components array, but an abstract class cannot be instantiated, it doesn't seem like there is any straighforward way of using abstract classes within cake (short of treating them as vendors).
One kludge might be to leave it in the components folder, but just don't put it in the $components array in your controller, then do everything manually yourself. 1. App::import() it, 2. instantiate it, 3. run the startup() and 4. insert it into a class variable inside the controller object, using the component name. Basically you are doing what cake does, but from then on, you can access it as you would any component. Unfortunately that's not much better than putting it in app/vendors, and treating it like any other external code. Any better ideas? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.
