Hello, im creating an extension that will need a callback action (using $_GET).

can a controller reside inside the extension folder?

please i need some ideas.

thanks.

it can, but have to point it in config file:




'controllerMap'=>array(

  'controllerID'=>array(

     'class'=>'path.to.PostController',

     'attribute'=>'some value',

  ),

  'otherControllerId'=>'path.to.UserController',,

),

then you can access then as:

index.php?r=controllerID/actionName

or

index.php?r=otherControllerID/actionName

another solution is to create module instead of extension. Module can have own controllers accessed by default (without any need to change configuration) by:

index.php?r=moduleId/controllerId/action

Great,

the first option will not be a good design for something i wish to share

i will go for the second option.

thanks.
