Override save(), and skip the table?

[Mike Pearl]

How can I create a model supporting a form without a Table?

All the data from this particular view is being stored in a graph database (Neo4j), not MySQL.  In the model I created a save() function which saves the data in Neo4j, and I didn't create a Table file.  Still, when I save the form, Joomla bombs out, looking for a table with this error:

Table viewname not supported.  File not found.

Here's the Call stack

#Function Location

1JApplicationCms->execute() /var/www/gs/index.php:49

2JApplicationSite->doExecute() /var/www/gs/libraries/cms/application/cms.php:261

3JApplicationSite->dispatch() /var/www/gs/libraries/cms/application/site.php:230

4JComponentHelper::renderComponent() /var/www/gs/libraries/cms/application/site.php:191

5JComponentHelper::executeComponent() /var/www/gs/libraries/cms/component/helper.php:380

6require_once() /var/www/gs/libraries/cms/component/helper.php:405

7JControllerLegacy->execute() /var/www/gs/components/com_gs/gs.php:12

8JControllerForm->save() /var/www/gs/libraries/legacy/controller/legacy.php:702

9JModelLegacy->getTable() /var/www/gs/libraries/legacy/controller/form.php:617

Joomla doesn't even get to my save() override.  What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!

Did you override the controller method as well?  The stack trace shows it's using the JControllerForm::save() method which does use a JTable object, so you'll need to override the controller to remove the pieces you don't need.

I am having a similar issue with my custom component although in my case i also have the same error on the view->display()

I am on the administrator area and have a view with a form, thus a controller extending JControllerForm

Have you resolved your issue? Would you mind sharing some of your code?

I have temporarily overcome this by creating a dummy table but i am sure there is a better way!
