Re: Controller::render not running actions?

Render just does what it says it will; render a view. It does not run the controller action with the same name. You can try $this->index(); which will run the action, but I'm not sure if the values you have set will be available. You could drop them into a keyed array (instead of loads of variable) and pass them into the index action as an optional variable.
