thanks..I did use to have a solid flash behavior a la rails...the code was pretty simple and modeled after merb_has_flash , I think.
Today, after several days of figuring out the new merb-auth behavior, I was able to toss hundreds of lines of my own hand rolled session and auth behavior. My merb production app goes back to merb from last April so changing to the new auth code was a big job. I haven't finished testing, but so far so good and I'm happy to have more core behavior handled by the framework. Part of the process of code slashing involved tossing my flash behavior as well as it was integrated with the session behavior that I dumped. I was just surprised at the new URL encoded message behavior, thats all. If thats how you guys think its best, thats how it is ;) I just don't agree. I understand why you may want to encode it in the URL, but it does make for ugly URLs. One thing that surprises me about merb is this: merb is developed, or appears to be developed in a distributed fashion. If there are team meetings where the core devs get together and decide on key issues like "lets put the message in the URL", this process is opaque to people like myself. Given the free-for-all appearance of merb dev, I am often surprised at how core developers sometimes give the impression of "thats how _we_ intended it to be". Who is this _we_.? I'm not mad or venting here. Just expressing a point of view from 8 or 12 time zones away. thanks, Jon On Oct 30, 12:48 am, "Michael D.
