That makes sense. A _forward() action merely sets state in the request
object; it doesn't halt or modify execution flow (it can't, really).
What you'll want to do is check that status after parent::preDispatch()
has finished running, and then act on it:
function preDispatch()
{
parent::preDispatch();
if (!$this->getRequest()->isDispatched()) {
return;
}
echo 'other instructions here';
}
BTW, it may make more sense to move such checks into an action helper
instead of creating a base class for your controllers; that way you can
use that functionality (ACL checks, etc) in other applications without
needing to use that base class.
