Analyzing class Piwik\FrontController

This singleton dispatches requests to the appropriate plugin Controller.

Piwik uses this class for all requests that go through index.php. Plugins can use it to call controller actions of other plugins.

Examples

Forwarding controller requests**

public function myConfiguredRealtimeMap() { $_GET['changeVisitAlpha'] = false; $_GET['removeOldVisits'] = false; $_GET['showFooterMessage'] = false; return FrontController::getInstance()->dispatch('UserCountryMap', 'realtimeMap'); }

Using other plugin controller actions**

public function myPopupWithRealtimeMap() { $_GET['changeVisitAlpha'] = false; $_GET['removeOldVisits'] = false; $_GET['showFooterMessage'] = false; $realtimeMap = FrontController::getInstance()->dispatch('UserCountryMap', 'realtimeMap');

$view = new View('@MyPlugin/myPopupWithRealtimeMap.twig'); $view->realtimeMap = $realtimeMap; return $realtimeMap->render(); }
