You can make a custom controller to make all the others... something like
this:
class My_Controller_Action extends Zend_Controller_Action
{
public function init()
{
// your common code
}
}
Then you will use it like this:
class IndexController extends My_Controller_Action
{
// optional function to use to add more stuff to the default init
public function init()
{
// some code
parent::init(); // use this anywhere inside this function to
call the default init
// some code
}
}
Hope it helps ;)
