It would probably get overwritten if you put it in the params as
'name', but you could have passed it either
in the url
echo $this->request
The problem seemed to be that I cannot pass the variable $this->name
through requestaction. So that's another reason (apart from loading
times) to use your 'mini-controllers' approach in this case. Thnx,
it's working now!
Is your mini-controllers method ever going to be a standard part of
Cake? B

I tried both your examples, but the problem seems to be that I use the
requestaction within default.thtml, and it seems there's no data
available about the parent action...
Is there some other way, because now I use the $_GET['url'] method,
which is just very dirty and unreliable.

No 'standard' way how to determine action where requestAction was
called from (except for $_GET['url'] which is not 'clean usage of
cake' as You obviously do not need to use $_GET directly in cake).
But: You can pass some parameter to requestAction like
$a = $this->requestAction('/some/url', arr
I think something like $this->params['controller'] will just give the
currently executing controller ("main" or "plugin") and this is not
what you want.
I'm unclear on exactly what your goal is, but it seems there are two
options:
1. make the "plugin" code generic, have it do its thing, return d
This is probably a crappy response, but try print_r($this->params) and
see what's in there. It might have what you're looking for.

Sorry, I meant controller, instead of action in the above post.
