Re: how can i set one controller to render actions from another controller in cakephp 1.2

I am not absolutely sure, but I think you will get a little better
performance (and structure) from calling requestAction in your view in
this case.
That is, you create elements to do the rendering and use requestAction
to get the data to the element. Not to render anything.

If your application warrants it, you may also be better off loading up
the needed Models directly in the current controller. This would cut
out requestAction.
This would be a good option if your controller or action is for a
"portal"-style page that shows bits from different parts of the
application.
