as for why I would put logic inside view file...this stems from things that I did successfully in 1.2.x that seemingly also do not work in 2.3.2 - perhaps I was taking advantage of undocumented 'features', aka bugs. The concept is to have one 'method' print several different pages with different criteria for each 'partial' and using css div's to 'page-break-after' each one so that the result was multi-paged html. This actually worked for me in 1.2.x but I am only getting the last page in 2.3.2. ;-( The controller only allows a single 'render' command per method.
