Hi guys,

I have the following question: How to identify which action/controller was initially invoked? So I can determine which actions has been called via _forward or with action stack helper. Basically if I have the following helper:

in the preDispatch method I would like to know if this was the primary/originate action requested or it was forwarded. I try to use isDispatched() but seems it has different meaning from one I thought.

Any ideas how to recognize this?

Thanks in advance

each time the dispatcher dispatches an action the module, controller, action are stored in the params array and are available to the controller via $this->_request->getParam('controller') and the like. You could create an array and push this info to that array to track the call history and stash this array in the session or registry or something.

Seems logical, but is there anyway to trick this? something on ZF

May getStack from the actionStack helper? I'm not very familiar with the actionStack helper...
