We've looked into allowing the specification of routes from plugins, and I think we can do it. However, doing this really is an expert user feature only, since routes could quite easily clash between different plugins or engines without any warning.
In other words, while this may be possible in the future, I wouldn't expect it to become common or as trivial to just drop in a bunch of routing instructions as you'd hope... - james On 7/3/06, Peter Michaux <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On 7/1/06, Peter Michaux <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi, > > > > Is there a place to specify special routes in an engine? > > I've been reading DHH's recent blog post and slide show called "world > of resouces".
