Is there a way to have multiple controllers for a symfony 1.4 module?

I have a situation where I have a base controller (a base actions.php file) in Symfony 1.4. I want to create another controller, for the same module, that extends that base controller.

I need to extend that base controller because I want to customize the behavior of certain visitors, that are identified based on an ID in the URL.

Any hints?

Actually you can add another controller class for the same module.

You could include several files in your action directory in this way:

In action1Action.class.php

class action1Action extends sfAction
{
    public function execute($request) {
        //Your code here
    }
}

This will use template action1Success.php

In action2Action.class.php

class action2Action extends sfAction
{
    public function execute($request) {
        //Your code here
    }
}

This will use template action2Success.php

Another controller class for the same module, I think it's impossible in symfony.

I guess the easiest solution for you is to create another method in the same class, and then invoque it from the base one.

By Example: actions.class.php:

public function executeBaseAction(sfWebRequest $request) {

   .. if($user....) then return $this->executeCustomAction($request);

}

public function executeCustomAction(sfWebRequest $request) {
  // $this->setTemplate('anotherTemplate?');

}
