extending base controller

[eluser]ommy[/eluser]
i believe i needed a controller that i could use from a view. since it was an action that was already fully coded in an existing controller i wanted to reuse the existing functions rather than rewriting it. in the mean time i believe that ive found a more solid way to achieve this
to answer your question: i think you're doing nothing wrong. and btw: in my humble opinion; if it works its a good way even if its not the best practice
i could be wrong about my original purpose. it has been a while
