Just FYI: Hooks are actually implemented identically to what I showed. I am personally coming to prefer the super approach simply because it's more obvious what's going on, and if the internal implementation of hooks changes, I'm less likely to get bit in the ass. That said, I prefer before_filter in controllers, because there I *don't* want to know what's going on. I want the framework to hook in at an appropriate location. -- Yehuda
