Hi,

 

Just include the front controller class file into the file which is rendering TPL file as follows:

 

 

include_once(_PS_MODULE_DIR.'yourmodule/controllers/front/yourcontroller.php);

 

class YourSecondFrontControllerClass extends YourControllerClass

 

{



---- CODE HERE ------



}

And then you can call the function of parent controller using the following syntax. 

 

{YourParentController::testFunction()}

 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

 

Other option is that you can make a duplicate function in the controller rendering the TPL tile and then can directly call the function as follows:

 

{YourMainFrontController::testFunction()}

 

Note: The function that you want to call should be a public static function.

 

 

I hope this helps. Please feel free to ask in case of any query or issue.
