[TYPO3-ect] Report: Expandable controller - praxis

[Fabien Udriot]

Hi,

As I had to cope with the similar issue, I would be interested to see your code-solution.

Here is the way I found to call an "external" controller :

// initialize the object according to the class name.
$subscriptionClassName = tx_div::makeInstanceClassName('tx_ecosubscription_controllers_form');
$subscription = new $subscriptionClassName();

// get the Typoscript
$TSconfig = $GLOBALS['TSFE']->tmpl->setup;

// set the view variable in the actual controller
$view['subscription'] = $subscription->main(null,$TSconfig['plugin.']['tx_ecosubscription.']['controller.']['form.']['configurations.']);

best regards,

Fabien
