Controller inheritance problem from a plugin controller in cakephp 4-CodePudding

I'm building a NewsManager plugin that has a NewsController in the Admin prefix.

I want this controller could both be used as it is (with the route /admin/news-manager/news/*) or as a parent controller that could be overload by inherance.

Here is my code :

// plugins/NewsManager/Controller/Admin/NewsController.php
public function index()
{
    $modelClass = $this->modelClass;
    $news = $this->$modelClass->find()
                                    ->order(['created' => 'DESC']);
    $this->set(compact('news'));
}

I want to dynamically get the modelClass in order to make inheritance easier.

When I go to /admin/news-manager/news, the $modelClass value above returns 'NewsManager.News' and then the find() request returns the error Undefined property: NewsController::$NewsManager.News

How could I do to avoid having the plugin prefixed in modelClass ?

CodePudding user response：

Use loadModel() (or as of 4.3 fetchTable()) without any arguments, that will then load the default model set for the controller, eg:

$this->loadModel()->find()

or:

$this->fetchTable()->find()
