Is it possible for controller A to call another controller B, let B prepares the data, and pass control and data back to A?

Try this:
Code: Select all
class ControllerModuleModule1 extends Controller {
protected function index() {
$result = $this->getChild('module/module2');
}

Look at the catalog/controller/common/home.php file
You'll note that it has no real content. But it calls its children, which are modules... but modules are just mini-controllers that don't call the output dispatch directly, because the main controllers do it.
But you can pretty much load any module and place it. The module name is its exported variable name "latest" module is called by "$latest", etc

sv2109, came up with a nice solution.
But can anyone explane why ob_start() ignores?

Code: Select all
ob_start();
$this->getChild('checkout/cart/add'); // for some reason we have echo here
$result = ob_get_clean();
// $result = NULL

This getChild() method can call a child.
But how do I call the Child's methods and pass variables to the methods from the calling controller?

In OpenCart 2.0.x versions, this is quite simple:
This will execute the action specified by the route, with the optional given args, and returns the rendered output.
Code: Select all
$this->load->controller( $route, $args );
