If you are using the dispatcher functionality then you do not need to call this constructor from yoru child classes. The Tina MVC request is set by the base controller before calling the dispatch() function.

Allows you to drop your template variables into an object for retrieval by $this->load_vew()

The key is added as a property of (object) $this->template_vars

Any variables added using this will be escaped. Allows you to drop your template variables into an object for retrieval by $this->load_vew()

If there is no function call in the Tina MVC request, $this->index() is called. Otherwise looks for a class method based on the function part of the request. This allows you to name your class methods according to your actions. e.g. page/controller/my-action will be mapped on to $this->my_action(). Default action is always $this->index()

The dispatcher is used by default.

Make any methods that you do not want called by the dispatcher method 'private' for security and name them with a leading underscore to prevent the dispatcher from trying to load them. E.g. '_my_method'

Looks for a file in the same order as for controllers and view files. Model files are named {$model}_model.php and define a class called {$model}

Looks for a file in the same folder as the controller named {$view}_view.php and includes it. Any variables passed in $V are extracted into the global scope of the HTML view file. This allows the use of

and

template constructs.

In fact we can use any

 .. do something .. 

just like in normal PHP mixed HTML/PHP templating. {$view}_view.php is intended to be a HTML file

If $view is FALSE and $V is string, the string data is used as the parsed view file. i.e. without requiring a view file.

Alternatively you can assign template data to $this->template_vars using $this->add_var() and $this->add_var_e(). If data is in $this->template_vars it will be used in preference to data passed to this function.

You should use

if( !defined('TINA_MVC_LOAD_VIEW') ) die;

or something similar to avoid users being able to call the template directly.

Use this for any emails you want to send through Tina MVC. Templates are like normal Tina MVC view files except they are named *_email.php.

The templates are stored in the user or Tina MVC 'pages', 'shortcodes' and 'widgets' folders (just like controllers, views and models).

Variables are extract() ed into the local scope of the message template. $to, $cc, $bcc and $subject will also be added to that scope. Beware: this will overwrite variables of the same name passed through $message_variables.
