#1841 – Load class TaxiBookingControllerRoutes

Hello team!
I'm working on the script that will synchronize the special routes between my database and Taxibooking.

I'm trying to call a method "save" from the class TaxiBookingControllerRoutes, but I've got an error : Server raised fault: 'Class 'TaxiBookingController' not found'
Can you help me to call the method from inside other component?
I need to save special route data into the database.

This is the script in my component :
if (!class_exists('TaxiBookingControllerRoutes'))
require JPATH_BASE.DS.'components'.DS.'com_taxibooking'.DS.'controllers'.DS.'routes.php';

$TaxiBookingControllerRoutes = new TaxiBookingControllerRoutes;
$response=$TaxiBookingControllerRoutes->save($product);

Best regards.

Hi Serge,

I think you should use models instead of controller to save data into Joomla database from external source. Below is sample code snippet which you should use

//load model
JModelLegacy::addIncludePath(JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'components' . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'com_taxibooking' . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'models');

//get instance of model class, where class name will be TaxibookingModelRoute
$model = JModelLegacy::getInstance('Route', 'TaxibookingModel');

//call model method
$baz = $model->save($product);

Before this you have to load Joomla core application in your external script. The following should work

define('_JEXEC', 1);    

// this file is in a subfolder 'scripts' under the main joomla folder
define('JPATH_BASE', realpath(dirname(__FILE__) . '/..'));
require_once JPATH_BASE . '/includes/defines.php';
require_once JPATH_BASE . '/includes/framework.php';

// instantiate application
$app   = JFactory::getApplication('site');

Hope this helps

Hi Ronniee, thank you!
I can call methods from model.

Now I run in the error like this:
Error in creating Product(s).Server raised fault: 'Call to a member function getKeyName() on bool'

If I call directly "save" method inside this method is another one "if (parent::save($post))"
which calls parent class's "save" method, but the variable $table is false, while usually it mast be $table TaxibookingTableRoute.

May be "save" method needs more parameters, but how to provide them? When I add a route from the Taxibooking backend, the controller provides all requested parameters to the model, but if I call the model directly I have to find a way to provide all requested parameters. That is why I looked for the way to access to controller methods but I didn't find how.

This is my code:
//load model
JModelLegacy::addIncludePath(JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR . DS . 'components' . DS . 'com_taxibooking' . DS . 'models');
//get instance of model class, where class name will be TaxibookingModelRoute
$model = JModelLegacy::getInstance('Route', 'TaxibookingModel');
//call model method

$response = $model->save($product);

Best regards.

Hi Ronniee, I found a solution:
// Set the table directory
JTable::addIncludePath(JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR.DS.'components'.DS.'com_taxibooking'.DS.'tables');

Now I can add the route.
Thank you!
