Multiple models in one view for J3.3

have you verified that you use of JModelLegacy will successfully use functions from within the site part of the component? I dont have enough reputation on stack overflow to comment. Please upvote my question and answer!

recently, I did the following to access other functions integrating Jomsocial and kunena:

in controllers/groups.php

public function save() {

$group = JTable::getInstance('Group', 'CTable');
$group->name = $name;

...lots of code defining $group...

$group->store();

//and then my own code!!
$group->hack($group);

}

and then in tables/groups.php

public function hack($group){


$db = JFactory::getDBO();

$sql = "INSERT INTO `z1b6c_kunena_aliases` (`alias`, `type`, `item`, `state`) VALUES

('".JFilterOutput::stringURLSafe($group->name)."', 'catid', '-42', 0);";

$db->setQuery($sql);
try {
$db->execute();
} catch (Exception $e) {
JFactory::getApplication()->enqueueMessage($e->getMessage(), 'error');
}
}




I suggest using the error_log() function to output your variables every step of the way so that you know that it is processing correctly. I check my error logs by accessing nano /var/log/httpd/error_log
accessible by behaving as `root` (by typing sudo su)

Thanks for the response. I will play around with it some more. Very frustrating so far.
