Add a sub action to a simple module

edaw

Hi there,

I've created a simple module:

http://docs.getfuelcms.com/modules/simple

In the file "config/MY_fuel_modules.php", we've got:

$config['modules']['example'] = array(
'preview_path' => 'example/{slug}',
'sanitize_images' => FALSE, // to prevent false positives with xss_clean image sanitation
'list_actions' => array('example/upload' => lang('btn_upload')),
);

This has added a new action button called "upload".

When we visit "/fuel/example/upload" you get a frontend 404 error page.

Is there a simple way to make our simple module "example_model.php" handle sub actions?

Thanks.

You'll need to create a controller that extends the module controller and create a route for it (potentially). The pages.php and navigation.php controllers in the fuel/modules/fuel/controllers/ folder do this. You can place this controller in your fuel/application/controllers/ folder.

I just installed fuel and create a module.
I have same problem with sample "project module".
I have to copy navigation.php and pages.php to my application controller? with change or not change.
please explain me more
thanks

Basically, you can approach it like you would a normal CodeIgniter site where you need to create a controller that can perform the upload action you need. You can create this in your main fuel/application folder. I mentioned the pages and navigation controllers because they do something similar and can be used as an example. They extend the module.php controller. You'll also want to create a route for fuel/example/upload in your routes.php file.

in another words, I want to use user module for make my new module.
for example I create example module with preview_path=> 'example/id/x'
But I got 404 page not found. I made a controller and its action in my application but didn't change response.
In where clause I wana get id from segment and put it on my function list_items.
thanks for your answer

extra:
like projects/{slug} in your 3th tutorial, I create function get_url() and
return site_url('projects/id/' . $this->id);

This documentation seems to be maybe what you are looking for:

I solved my problem with a simple solution:
I had 2 changes:
1- Add line 482 fuel/controllers/module.php
$this->js_controller_params['item_id'] = $this->uri->segment(4);
2- Edit line 16 fuel/assets/js/fuel/controller/BaseFuelController.js
this.tableAjaxURL = this.modulePath + '/items/'+initObj.item_id;

this is very simple way to get segment for all module.
I had some other changes for edit and create to work probably.

you can prepare this for next version of Fuel.
Thanks
