Creating a new task 05 Dec 2013 03:02 #11742

I can't seem to create new tasks for my controllers. I just end up at a blank page.

I want to add the task
upload
to a controller class which will handle ajax uploading of images. I created a stub to test:
public function upload() {
		
		echo "Hello world!";
		exit;
		
	}

When I navigate to: index.php?option=com_mycomponent&task=mycontroller.upload - I get a blank page. Actually I can't get anywhere using task in the url. mycontroller.add, mycontroller.edit, etc - all land at a page with no data. (Completely empty, there is no text or html at all).

I am testing on Joomla 2.5 and Joomla 3.0.

I was able to do this in past versions of cook.

Please help me fix this! Thank you.

Hi,
I got working something similar. The "upload" function I placed in controller (the controller placed in root of your component, not in controllers folder)

Should be fixed now. (2.7)

Note : You must call
controller.task
Coding is now a piece of cake

For starters it's just so easy to design an app in a way that I'm used to i.e. database first then views followed by customization. The fork system is pure brilliance from a developer standpoint as I can override things and still add and update my projects with minimal effort! Truly amazing to be able to build components in Joomla using incremental refinement without having to do everything by hand. Thanks for the great tool! I am so much more productive now than ever and I can't imagine building components any other way!!!!
