Magento: Why do controller action predispatch events not fire if the controller is rewritten?
- by mattalexx
Why do controller action predispatch events not fire if the controller is rewritten? Here is a snippet of store/app/code/core/Mage/Core/Controller/Varien/Action.php:
abstract class Mage_Core_Controller_Varien_Action
{
// [...]
public function preDispatch()
{
// [...]
if ($this->_rewrite()) {
return; // [What is the purpose if this?]
}
// [...]
// [This is where my event needs to be firing, but this code never gets
// executed because the controller is rewritten]
Mage::dispatchEvent(
'controller_action_predispatch_'.$this->getFullActionName(),
array('controller_action'=>$this)
);
}
// [...]
}
I don't know where to start fixing this problem. Anyone out there ever dealt with this before?
