how can i set one controller to render actions from another controller in cakephp 1.2
hello, i'm new to cakephp. in my app there's controller named sections
which renders pages and there're multiple controllers for special
actions (e.g. photos, shop, etc).
what i'm trying to do is to create whole pages structure with sections
controller and set some pages to be rendered by other controllers in
backend.
i found out that renderAction will do this task
e.g.
$this-set('pish', $this-requestAction(array('controller' = 'photo',
'action' = 'index'), array('return')));
is it ok to use renderAction or there's better way to do it?

Re: how can i set one controller to render actions from another controller in cakephp 1.2
and then again, how can i pass some parameters via url.
e.g. i have url like http://127.0.0.2/sections/view/14/autocard-3
this means that i call some controller with method autocard to get
record with id = 3.
if ($ctrlr != 'sections') {
(isset($action)) ? $action : $action = 'index';
$cAct = explode('-', $action);
$this-set('pish', $this-requestAction(array('controller' = $ctrlr,
'action' = $cAct[0]), array('return')));
}
this will work but wil not do what i need.
but if i change
$this-set('pish', $this-requestAction(array('controller' = $ctrlr,
'action' = $cAct[0]), array('return')));
to
$this-set('pish', $this-requestAction(array('controller' = $ctrlr,
'action' = $cAct[0]($cAct[1])), array('return')));
cakephp ends up with error Fatal error: Call to undefined function
autocard() in /var/www/hotcake/app/controllers/sections_controller.php

I am not absolutely sure, but I think you will get a little better
performance (and structure) from calling requestAction in your view in
this case.
That is, you create elements to do the rendering and use requestAction
to get the data to the element. Not to render anything.
If your application warrants it, you may also be better off loading up
the needed Models directly in the current controller. This would cut
out requestAction.
This would be a good option if your controller or action is for a
portal-style page that shows bits from different parts of the
application.

Re: how can i set one controller to render actions from another controller in cakephp 1.2
Passing parameters via URL:
/controller_name/action_name/parameter_1/parameter_2/
parameter_n
Parameters are added with slashes into the URL after the action name,
so if you have an action autocard in your controller: (let's assume it
is called PostsController)
function autocard ($param1, $param2) {
echo $param1;
echo $param2;
}
Now you can call this function with the URL /posts/autocard/hello/
world
and it would print you in the view: hello world

Re: how can i set one controller to render actions from another controller in cakephp 1.2
yes i got that. but
http://127.0.0.2/sections/view/14/autocard/4
actually calls sections controller with method view and param 14,
autocard is method of cars controller and it's param should be 4 but i
can't get how to handle this via requestAction

Re: how can i set one controller to render actions from another controller in cakephp 1.2
Are you sure this functionality shouldn't be in the model?
requestAction() is expensive and slow.
I'm not really sure what your action is doing, but consider this
approach instead:
$this-set('pish', $this-CurrentModel-RelatedModel-
getSomeData($withSomeParams));
or if the models are really not related, you can load the other
model:
$OtherModel = ClassRegistry::init('OtherModelName');
$this-set('pish', $OtherModel-getSomeData($withSomeParams));
Either way, really it comes down to fat models and skinny controllers
and proper place to keep the logic.
