First of thanks for the answer :) Well it's not really my choice of working this way.. Since in the wiki tutorial they certainly use the init method... And I don't think it violates anything... Since you can assign values to an object at the creation of an object.. That's were all constructors are for?
Well at setting I only need the urlify e.g creating it, afterwards it isn't needed. I'm gonna take a look at your solution haven't thought of it that way. Thanks :) I think you violate the design of SA declarative here. You there create an > instance & *then* set it's attributes.
