thx for all the replies.
I should have said that i already tried placing a
module_controller.php in /app/, that didn't work.
When i then let my controllers inside of /controllers extend
ModuleController, i get the error "class not found or something like
that".
Problem is that module_controller.php in /app/module_controller.php
(right next to app_controller.php) is not the the include path and not
loaded at the right "time" as the basics.php in /cake does.
I tried fixing this by adding the /app path to php's include path
inside of /app/config/bootstrap.php but that didnt work either.
My current solution is that i have simply dumped the class definition
inside of /app/app_controller.php.
Now i don't even have to say this, but that is one ugly solution :)
To be more clear about what i wish to achieve. I wan't my
ModuleController to be an extension of AppController.
As a design point of view this makes AppController a more "abstract"
or "general" class than ModuleController. The AppController contains
everything that is required for an "Application Controller", the
"Module Controller" extends this functionality and properties and
implements stuff which is only needed for "Modules".
The application I'm doing is fairly big. I got 11 "Modules"
integrated. (Helpdesk, Surveillance, Inventory Management etc..).
Therefore i really wan't to split the controller logic into smaller
chunks.
