Hi,

I have implemented an abstract page controller of a parent page class, since I want the children to implement the abstract functions.

So far everything seems to be working well. But can you anticipate any issues or side-effects of having abstract parent page controllers?

Parent Page with abstract Page_Controller:

class MyParentPage extends Page {
	// ...
}

abstract class MyParentPage_Controller extends Page_Controller {

	abstract protected function myAbstractFunction();
	
	public function myFunction() {
		// ...
		return $this->myAbstractFunction();
	}
}

Child Page

class MyChildPage extends MyParentPage {
	// …
	private static $hide_ancestor = 'MyParentPage';
}

abstract class MyChildPage_Controller extends MyParentPage_Controller {

	protected function myAbstractFunction() {
		return 'Something';
	}

}

Thanks.
VWD.
