No worries, A slow day at uni makes me want to hang around here...
Anyway, to answer your question, The '*' just means "allow all". In the pages controller, I guess just 'display' does the trick, since that is the action that is available in that controller... In all my other controllers I indeed never use '*', I'd rather close up my entire website and just allow certain stuff... Even when that often means that after I made a new action and test it, you usually you can hear a *sigh* when I need to go back to the controller and add it to allow. :) On 20 okt, 11:29, jayarjo <[email protected]> wrote: > I guess I got to get used to Google Groups as well :) I thought Reply > to Author creates a branch of discussion.
