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

This is what you call a component builder. I was able to master using this in a very short time and the resulting component works like a charm. Not just a basic component builder but a fully working component builder with forms fields tables all ready to go. You can make the list and item views to display in the front and back end. Also there is a great forum just starting to evolve and I'm sure this will grow very rapidly when you all realise how good this tool is.
