    copied!<p>I know there are a lot of examples out there for this issue and i think i read all of them, at least I feel so, a little bit confused :-) I think first of all i need basic conzept respectively a better appreciation of how is the best way to change the whole customer frontend dashboard and extend it with additional methods. I stuck a litte bit with this, maybe this is the wrong way, maybe not, hopefully you can help me finding the right way. </p> <p>All needed files are located in:</p> <p><strong>app/code/local/Company/Customer/etc/config.xml</strong></p> <p><strong>app/code/local/Company/Customer/controllers/AccountController.php</strong></p> <p><strong>app/code/local/Company/Customer/controllers/IndexController.php</strong></p> <p>Atm I play with these path's:</p> <p><strong>domain.com/customer/</strong></p> <p>overwritten by:</p> <pre><code>&lt;frontend&gt; &lt;routers&gt; &lt;customer&gt; &lt;use&gt;standard&lt;/use&gt; &lt;args&gt; &lt;module&gt;Company_Customer&lt;/module&gt; &lt;frontName&gt;customer&lt;/frontName&gt; &lt;/args&gt; &lt;/customer&gt; &lt;/routers&gt; &lt;/frontend&gt; </code></pre> <p>the above code is working, the overloading class is executed with the following function:</p> <p><code>function indexAction();</code></p> <p>and the path: <strong>domain.com/customer/</strong> or <strong>domain.com/customer/index/</strong> is functional.</p> <p>So far, so good. But now I also need all the other path's and their functionality, e.g. the <strong>domain.com/customer/account/</strong> path, normally executed and routed to the following path:</p> <p><strong>app/code/core/Mage/Customer/controllers/AccountController.php</strong></p> <p>and here's the crux, is it possible to load the AccountController by execute or load them in the IndexController.php class with a new method e.g. <code>function accountAction();</code> and stop Magento routing to the above core path? Or is it better to do this the way I did by rewrite the magento router to my own module, to:</p> <p><strong>app/code/local/Company/Customer/controllers/AccountController.php</strong></p> <p>Maybe there are some other ways but my router isn't working:</p> <pre><code>&lt;frontend&gt; &lt;routers&gt; &lt;customer_account&gt; &lt;use&gt;standard&lt;/use&gt; &lt;args&gt; &lt;module&gt;Company_Customer_Account&lt;/module&gt; &lt;frontName&gt;customer_account&lt;/frontName&gt; &lt;/args&gt; &lt;/customer_account&gt; &lt;/routers&gt; &lt;/frontend&gt; </code></pre> <p><strong>EDIT:</strong></p> <p>This is the from the error.log:</p> <pre><code>2011-07-25T10:36:46+00:00 ERR (3): Warning: include() [&lt;a href='function.include'&gt;function.include&lt;/a&gt;]: Failed opening 'Mage/Customer/AccountController.php' for inclusion (include_path='/html/magento/app/code/local:/html/magento/app/code/community:/html/magento/app/code/core:/html/magento/lib:.:/usr/local/php/lib/php:/usr/local/php/lib/php/PEAR') in /html/magento/lib/Varien/Autoload.php on line 93 </code></pre> <p>I think this means that the router works but the file isn't found, right?!</p> <p>Any suggestions would be great. Thanks!</p> <p><strong>--------------------------------------------</strong></p> <p><strong>----------------UPDATE----------------</strong></p> <p><strong>--------------------------------------------</strong></p> <p>Thanks for your reply. I allready tried the alternative rewrite in the global section before:</p> <pre><code>&lt;rewrite&gt; &lt;Company_Customer_Account&gt; &lt;from&gt;&lt;![CDATA[#^/customer/account/#]]&gt;&lt;/from&gt; &lt;to&gt;/customer/account/&lt;/to&gt; &lt;/Company_Customer_Account&gt; &lt;/rewrite&gt; </code></pre> <p>and with your code:</p> <pre><code>&lt;rewrite&gt; &lt;Company_Customer_Account&gt; &lt;from&gt;/customer/account/index/&lt;/from&gt; &lt;to&gt;/customer/account/index/&lt;/to&gt; &lt;/Company_Customer_Account&gt; &lt;/rewrite&gt; </code></pre> <p>both don't work, what i'm missing?</p> <p>Here's the AccountController.php</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php //require_once 'Mage/Customer/controllers/AccountController.php'; class Extension_Modul_AccountController extends Mage_Customer_AccountController { # Overloaded indexAction public function indexAction() { echo "executed"; parent::indexAction(); } } </code></pre>
