Question

So I know that you can set a custom default action in Zend Framework in the application.ini:

resources.frontController.defaultAction = "something"

But what if I want this default action to be contingent on the controller? So controller A‘s default action will be B, controller C‘s default action will be D, etc how do I configure the controllers to take these default action parameters? What piece of code is needed and where should I place them?

You can add in your Bootstrap.php something like this:

   protected function _initRoutes()
   {
      $Router = Zend_Controller_Front::getInstance()->getRouter();

      $Route = new Zend_Controller_Router_Route(
                      '/controller1',
                      array(
                          'action' => 'customaction1'
                      )
      );
      $Router->addRoute('c1', $Route);

      $Route = new Zend_Controller_Router_Route(
                      '/controller2',
                      array(
                          'action' => 'customaction2'
                      )
      );
      $Router->addRoute('c2', $Route);

      [...]
   }
