Mark,
Thanks for the quick response. It didn't work though. My
RootController now subclasses tg.controllers.DecoratedController and I
get the following error even on http://localhost:8080/ (the root):
Module tg.controllers:125 in _perform_call
>> controller.decoration.run_hooks('before_validate', remainder,
AttributeError: 'function' object has no attribute 'decoration'
The code expects 'controller' to be an object with a 'decoration'
attribute, but in my case the controller is the __before__ method of
RootController:
>>> controller
<bound method RootController.__before__ of
<nine.controllers.root.RootController object at 0x99a3d0>>
Is it possible to post a fully working TG2 custom routes example? It
doesn't even have to be the entire project just the differences from a
standard quickstarted project.
Thanks, Carl
