Fatal error: Class 'JController' not found in

[Robert Lefebvre]

Hello all,

This is my first post but I'll be brief.

I'm building a component using the "Hello World" tutorial. http://docs.joomla.org/Developing_a_Model-View-Controller_Component_-_Part_1

I've got the admin backend and configuration working well but when I try to reach the main display page it displays error - Fatal error: Class 'JController' not found in ...
The page the error message points to is very small ... here is all the code ...

class BungeebonesController extends JController
{
    /**
     * Method to display the view
     *
     * @access    public
     */
    function display()
    {
        parent::display();
    }

}

I found some forum posts suggesting corrupt joomla files so I dusted off a complete different domain and did a brand new install. Then installed the component w/o incident. Accessed the admin backend.

Maybe I'm not accessing the page properly? I'm using ?option=com_bungeebones&view=bungeebones as the entry point.

Thanks in advance.

Robert

You forgot to add jimport('Joomla.application.component.controller'); on the top of your file.

Hi and welcome, Robert!

Do you have jimport('joomla.application.component.controller'); before the
class?

What Joomla version are you trying to develop for? What is the Joomla
version of the site you're installing on?

Kind regards,
Nick

Thanks. I don't know why I missed that. maybe working 'till four a.m. affects the eyes?

There was a small problem with the code you provided. In my install the parameter name used a lower case "j" - jimport(joomla.application.

component.controller'); instead of jimport('Joomla.application.

component.controller');



In case someone else uses

[Nicholas K. Dionysopoulos]

Yeah, it should be a lowercase j, I think my Android phone which I used to post the reply autocorrected it :)
