All,

I have two contexts in which I create an object whose controller is 
AS-enabled.  In one context, there will be an attribute ("filename") 
that has a value and in the other, this attribute will not have a 
value.  I want the "show" template to not show the "filename" attribute 
if it doesn't have a value.

I considered moving the AS "show" template into my specific view folder 
and modifying it there, but wanted a way to do it via the configuration.

What I ended up with was this:
 
   def show
    ....
     self.class.active_scaffold :invoices do |config|
       config.show.columns = invoice.filename? ? DEFAULT_COLUMNS : 
NON_FILENAME_COLUMNS
      end
   end

in my "show" action.  DEFAULT_COLUMNS and NON_FILENAME_COLUMNS differ 
only by the key :filename.

This works fine.  However, I did notice that when I do this within the 
"show" action, that it appears to completely redefine the configuration.

So I have 2 questions:

1) Is there a way to "reopen" the controller wide AS config. and just 
override/change the parts I want to?
2) Is there a bettter way in general to do this that is less clunky?

Thanks,
Wes
