E-Books for you

If you do
choose to do this, it is normal to define the common MVC elements in the backend.
To access models and views located in the backend from the frontend we can
manually tell Joomla! about additional paths to look in. It is relatively unlikely that
you would want to use the same view in the front and back-end. If you do want to
do this, you should carefully consider your reasons.
This is an example of an overridden controller constructor method. It tells the
controller that there are other places to look for models and views.
/**
* Constructor
*
*/
function __construct()
{
// execute parent's constructor
parent::__construct();
// use the same models as the back-end
$path = JPATH_COMPONENT_ADMINISTRATOR.DS.'models';
$this->addModelPath($path);
// use the same views as the back-end
$path = JPATH_COMPONENT_ADMINISTRATOR.DS.'views'
$this->addViewPath($path);
}
If we use this, the controller will look for models and views in the component's
backend folders, as well as the default frontend folders.
