for some reason I can not load my model anywhere. not in my controller, not in my view. here is my开发者_C百科 code

<?php

*/

// no direct access
defined('_JEXEC') or die('Restricted access');

// Import Joomla! libraries
jimport( 'joomla.application.component.view');
class Ad_makerViewDefault extends JView {
    function display($tpl = null) {
      
      $model =& $this->getModel('Ad_maker');
      $model->get('AdList');
      
        parent::display($tpl);
    }
}
?>

My model is located at

com_ad_maker/models/ad_maker.php

    function __construct() {
      parent::__construct();
    }
   
   public function getTest()
   {
      echo "this is a test";   
   }
   
   public function store()
   {
      $post = $this->_state->get('request');
      
      $db =& JFactory::getDBO();
      
      $url = "images/ads/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"];
      $durl =  $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/images/ads/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"];   
      move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"],$durl);
      
      $query = "INSERT INTO #__ad_maker (ad_name, image_url, tags) VALUES ('$post[ad_name]', '$url', '$post[tags]')";       
      $db->setQuery($query);
      $result = $db->query();
   }
   
   public function getAdList()

      $query = "SELECT * FROM #__ad_maker";

}

I get the following error

here is my controller

The name of your view is default, so Joomla will attempt to load the model named default from your component's models directory. Change com_ad_maker/models/ad_maker.php to com_ad_maker/models/default.php and change class Ad_makerModelAd_maker extends JModel to class Ad_makerModelDefault extends JModel and it should work.
