Joomla - MVC: Reorganizing Back End Code

Joomla Back End MVC Step By Step Tutorial - Part 1: Return we talk again aboutJoomla with the MVC viewpoint. We have learned the Joomla MVC at this post as starting point. That Tutorial focus the side front-end. In this post, we will study how to apply it at the back end side. We will reorganize the code use MVC.

We still work with our hello component. First, we will modify code which joomla execute for first time. I bet you know. Yes, admin.hello.php (if you still don't know, you can read from first at here). Ok, open your admin.hello.php within Joomla\administrator\components\com_hello. Replace with following code:

<?php
defined( '_JEXEC' ) or die( 'Restricted access' );

require_once(JApplicationHelper::getPath('admin_html'));
require_once(JPATH_COMPONENT.DS.'controller.php');
JTable::addIncludePath(JPATH_COMPONENT.DS.'tables');

$controller = new HelloController(
                  array('default_task'=>'showHellos'));
$controller->execute( JRequest::getVar('task') );
$controller->redirect();

?>

Next, we will talk about controller at back end.
