Yeap that will work too, but is there no way to read the session value or the value that is set by the controller that redirects the view ? if the view itself doesnt have any controller(like home/index which is controlled by pages_controller). if i needed a more page specific code then i cannot place the code in the pages_controller anymore.
I realise the set method in the controller will only be available to its own view and not when its redirected. is that true or i have made a mistake somewhere ?
