Question

How can I prevent an application from rendering the viewscript with any parameters.

So if I have something that is

http://www.mywebsite.com/myapplication/mycontroller/some/params

How can i stop it, so that no matter what comes after the controller it won’t load the view script. I have been able to do this in the actions, but I want to do it for all actions.

Answer 1

This is what I had to do to get it do what I want:

    public function preDispatch(){
        if($this->User->isValid()){
            if($this->getRequest()->getActionName() !== 'login' ){ 
                    $this->_forward('login');
            }
         }
    }

    public function loginAction(){
        $this->_helper->FlashMessenger('You must be logged in to do that!');
        $this->_flashMessenger = $this->_helper->getHelper('FlashMessenger');
        $this->view->messages = $this->_flashMessenger->getMessages();
        $this->_helper->viewRenderer->setNoRender(false);
    }
