I think there was a bug with __before__ and the decoration object that has been fixed in the last beta, what version of tg2 are you using (you can check with paster tginfo).
I have not tried making the RootController into a decorated controller, I'd try making a new controller and routing to that. I won't have time to make a doc this afternoon, but I can try to look at it tomorrow if you don't get it working before then. --Mark On Fri, Mar 13, 2009 at 1:01 PM, Carl <[email protected]> wrote: > > Mark, > Thanks for the quick response.
