I am noticing that the Action methods in the Controllers are being called 3 time event though I have hit the URL only once. Is this a problem specific to my implementation?

You can’t call a module specifically, on a CMS page. Modules, define things like Widgets and Blocks which you CAN call on a CMS page.

Check out this post describing the various CMS tags that you can use in Magento.

Let’s say that you have a Module Yourcompanyname_Mymodule and it defines a block Myblock.

You could instantiate that block inside a CMS page by doing:

You’d probably create attributes in class Myblock to customize it and they could be passed in by doing:

{{block type=”Yourcompanyname_Mymodule/Myblock” param1=”value1″ param2=”value2″}}

Hope that helps!

Thank you for this tutorial (and the next) !

I’d like I’ve discovered it sooner to prevent wasting time with the silly naming (un)conventions of magento.
