Joomla 2.5 - the use of administrators component controllers in front of the component

Question

how can i use controllers created in

/administrator/components/com_mycom/controllers/* 

in

 /components/com_mycom/mycom.php 

More details:

I have a "log" controller with the add method, and I would like to use it from the interface. I have not logged in to the backend, the task is not completed, and the 500 error goes up. Therefore, I would just like to include the backend controllerpath in the interface, so JController::getInstance( 'Mycom' ) still works.

Hello...

EDIT:

After a long search, I could find a more or less undocumented parameter: JController::getInstance() , and the second: $config = array() . Looking through the source code, I found that there is one key of the "configuration array" of interest to us: "base_path".

Call:

 JController:getInstance( 'Mycom, array('base_path' =>JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR.DS.'components'.DS.'com_mycom')' ); 

the backend controller always delivers, and you can safely use it in the external interface of the BUT , so you should make sure that the views are then shot from the inside of the component. In my case, I just use it to create ajax calls, so it doesn't matter, but you need to be careful using this method when planning to create "frontend views" using the "backend controller".

I recently had a similar problem when I wanted to use all the back code of the CRUD system in the interface.

This is the method that worked for me (and I am not saying that it is recommended or recommended):

I just modeled the folder / file structure from the backend. PHP files contained something like:

require_once JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR . '/components/com_mycom/controllers/log.php';
