XF 2.0 Invoke controller/action from an other controller

[Jean-Baptiste]

Hello,

In my addon, I would like to invoke the controller 'XF\Pub\Controller\Conversation' -> action index.

How can I do that ? (without using the rerouteController method)

Best regardes

Can you elaborate on why rerouteController() doesn't work for your use case? It seems like it would do what you want:

return $this->rerouteController('XF:Account', 'index');

It doesn't work, because it's redirecting to the URL called in the controller.
As an example, if if reRoute to the conversation index, it will redirect the URL to the /conversation page.
I don't want to do that.

That redirect is part of the controller code, so you won't be able to use it in that situation. I don't see why you'd have the exact same output on a different URL though.

`rerouteController` should work exactly as you want it to work... HOWEVER, if you have an `assertCanonicalUrl` is the rerouted controller, it will redirect to the proper URL after the fact.
