If you have a controller that presents a view for each table you can
call your
controllers an present them in the app/views/pages/home.thtml in this
way
<?php
echo $this->requestAction("controller/action/param1/param2",
array('return'));
?>
If your controller action does not have a view and it is just a
function that returns values don't use in the calling
the array('retrun'). You can grab the return of that function this way
<?php
$data = $this->requestAction("controller/action/param1/param2");
?>
Or you can even set that your action can present data in some
scenarios and return data in others
In the controller that you are going to call using the requestAction
add this to the action (function)
<?php
if(isset($this->params['requested']) && !in_array('return', $this-
>params) ) {
return $data;
}else{
//Data Used to present in the view
$this->set('data', $data);
}
?>
