I am trying to extend /checkout/cart/. I added "dumbAction" to test ensure the extension worked and /checkout/cart/dumb does work. However, when I access /checkout/cart I do not see any changes.
<?php

require_once 'Mage/Checkout/controllers/CartController.php';
class AimlessMedia_CheckoutActions_CartController extends Mage_Checkout_CartController
/* the only reason this is extending the cart controller
* is because I copied AimlessMedia_CheckoutDiscountOption and it
* easier to just ride out the already programmed code
*/ {
/**
* Initialize coupon
*/
public function dumbAction() {
echo 'test indexAction';
}
public function indexAction() {
echo ('test indexAction');
parent::addAction();
}
}
