Symfony 2 - make actions from bundle inside other bundle

Question

I have problem with that concept: I want to have bundle forum (display comments, adding new, etc.), but I want to display it in another bundle (lets say url: /articles/showforum). I can include forum inside /articles/showforum, but links will be the old ones (e.g. to show form to add new topic: /forum/newtopic). I want sth like /articles/showforum/forum/newtopic - is there such a tool in Symfony 2 to achieve this?

You can set base routing for your ForumBundle. Here using annotations:

/**
* Forum controller
*
* @Route("/articles/showforum/forum")
*/
class ForumController extends Controller
{...

A base editAction method:

\ForumBundle\ForumController.php
public function editAction($id)
{   
    $this->editCustom(id);

    return array(
        'entity'      => $entity,
        'edit_form'   => $editForm->createView(),
        'delete_form' => $deleteForm->createView(),
    );
}

public function editCustom(id)
{
    $em = $this->getDoctrine()->getEntityManager();

    $entity = $em->getRepository('ForumBundle:Topic')->find($id);

    if (!$entity) {
        throw $this->createNotFoundException('Unable to find Topic entity.');
    }

    $editForm = $this->createForm(new TopicType(), $entity);
    $deleteForm = $this->createDeleteForm($id);
}

\ArticlesBundle\ForumController.php
public function editAction($id)
{   
    \ForumBundle\Controller\ForumController::editCustom(id);

    return array(
        'entity'      => $entity,
        'edit_form'   => $editForm->createView(),
        'delete_form' => $deleteForm->createView(),
    );
}
