Multiple models in one view for J3.3

First time I have used the creator - and congrats on a great product!

Hi - there is a similar thread already started, but my requirement is a little different so I thought I would keep it separate.

I am trying to get a blank view to show table data from 4 other views(tables) from the same component (generated here).

I have seen samples of how one can add multiple model calls in a view, but I have been unsuccessful in doing so.

I have gone down the path of modifying the controller:

then calling it in the view:but I am not getting any results.
I am loosing grey hair at a rate of knots over this, and it should not be that hard....Any assistance would really really be appreciated.

Its ok - I managed to fudge it another way using modules.

Not the most elegant of solutions, but at least it gets the data in the without too much custom recoding.

Then I just called multiple modules into the page and direct calls to each cell from the array. (basically trying to get many tables to supply data to elements on one page).

cheers

Hi Ryk

Thanks for sharing how have you managed this issue!

Greetings.

Ryk, do you mind sharing your method for achieving multiple views(tables) on one page?  I'm new to component creator and PHP.   I assumed it would require adding various modules, but wasn't quite sure.  Glad to see someone figure it out.

I'm creating a component that will have a user profile page. The user's profile page will require data from different tables, and only the rows specific to that user.

Thanks in advance for any insight you can provide.

I also want multiple models on the same page. I'm building a "dashboard" with info from multiple database tables. I know I could try modules, but I want to do it right! Can anyone provide an example of using multiple models in one view with component creator? The documentation all over the internet for doing multiple models in Joomla goes something like this:

"
If the view requires data from more than one model, then the above code can be extended easily. For example, if view My3 requires data from models My1 as well as My3 then the controller task-method would look something like this:

$view = $this->getView( 'My3', 'html' );
$view->setModel( $this->getModel( 'My3' ), true );
$view->setModel( $this->getModel( 'My1' ) );
$view->display();

"

This code above is from here: docs.joomla.org/Using_multiple_models_in_an_MVC_component

However I have tried editing both the main component and the view specific component to tweak the models provided to no success. I know that component creator is supposed to follow joomla standard conventions, but I have spent hours trying to drop in this multi-model code from the joomla docs into my component creator code and it is not working. Help!

I discovered and wrote of my solution here:
