How do I extend a custom JView class? - Joomla! Forum - community, help and support

hi,

i find myself using lot of duplicate functions in each of jview classes, example, making dropdown menus of lists database , keeping jsubmenu on page. i'd make 1 master jview class holds these functions, have individual view extend myparentjview class. (obviously not called that.)

is doable, , if so, create it?

i know it's doable custom controllers - have main controller.php, sub-classes in controllers/ folder. store parent jview class other views still conform mvc , know find it?

i've looked @ code of other component i've installed , don't see using custom jview class, maybe it's not done, seems should possible!

thanks.
