I start to understand where you want to go with this. So, you have to override the display() method of this controller. So, you have to write your own display method in this controller where you can put your logic too and based on that, this method will not display the default View file of this controller but it will do whatever you want, especially redirect to somewhere else, if special conditions. Study the base controller Class of Joomla a bit to understand more the display() method of that.

This controller file itself is almost empty because it inherits its methods from its parent Class(Controller) which it extends. So, put your custom methods in this Controller file(ControllerProfile). (You do not need construct). From this controller you can call the model where you can place your custom method too if needed. | |
| Dec 9, 2021 at 5:04 | comment | added | Zollie | The question is not fully clear for me, but if the request arrives to this controller than this controller will forward “a request to the model” (to a method of that model) and based on the returned value, this controller will control whether it displays the view or redirect to somewhere else (to another view). Place the logic in the model (if it has anything to do with any data handling), and place the controller logic(decision) in the controller (in a new method if needed). | |
