Hi there, i want to pass a variable to my controller and then use that to set a session variable. I have managed to get it to work, but it only seems to work on pages that inherit from the page class and not the page class itself. So if i have a pagetype call MyPage that inherits from Page...this code works...if i try and use it on the home page for example...it fails. Any ideas?

class Page_Controller extends ContentController {
	private static $allowed_actions = array (
	'MyUrl'
	);
	public function init() {
			parent::init();		
	}
		
	public function MyUrl() {
		$x = $_GET['myurl1'];
		if (isset($x)) {Session::set('MySession', $x);}
		$y = Session::get('MySession');
		return $y;
		}
}

Anyone got some ideas?

Hi Optic Blaze,

Just a thought, have you tried the following:

class Page_Controller extends Page_Controller {
	private static $allowed_actions = array (
	'MyUrl'
	);
	public function init() {
			parent::init();		
	}
		
	public function MyUrl() {
		$x = $_GET['myurl1'];
		if (isset($x)) {Session::set('MySession', $x);}
		$y = Session::get('MySession');
		return $y;
		}
}

Hi Helenclarko,

Thanks for the reply. I cant extend using page controller since page_controller needs to extend off content_controller. When you try it you will find that the site breaks. I however did figure out the problem...my code was initiating too late in the sequence. I needed to move the session variable declaration into the init section of the code so that it is the first thing that initiates. The following works:

 

class Page_Controller extends Page_Controller {
	private static $allowed_actions = array (
	'MyUrl'
	);
	public function init() {
			parent::init();
        /// Set session variable
       		$x = $_GET['myurl1'];
		if (isset($x)) {Session::set('MySession', $x);}
	}
		
	public function MyUrl() {
		return Session::get('MySession');
		}
}
