Question

is it possible to call one action from another in magento?

for example let us consider 2 action methods

is it possible to call updateAction() actually when addAction() is called?

Thanks, Balan

You can do a forward, for instance :

public function addAction(){
    $this->_forward('update');
}

and is it possible to pass all the params passed to addAction to updateAction? – balanv Apr 06 '11 at 12:41
@balanv: parameters are passed to the updateAction... if you need custom params you can use the 4th parameter (array of all the custom params), just use null for param 2 and 3 (controller and route are the same) – Daniel Sloof Apr 06 '11 at 13:38
is it valid to redirect like $this->_forward('update/id/8'); ? – balanv Apr 06 '11 at 13:58
I think so, I'm not sure sorry :| – haltabush Apr 06 '11 at 16:13
