I would do something like this, where getCurrentStage() returns a
string "submit" or "vote":
function beforeFilter(){
$currentStage = $this->Contest->getCurrentStage();
if ($this->action != $currentStage){
$this->setAction($currentStage);
}
}
function submit() {
}
function vote() {
}
Hope that helps.
Cheers,
Adam
