There are various ways to achieve this. Which one to use depends on various conditions :) 1) You can register a before_call/before_render/before_validate hook in config/app_cfg with app_config.register_hook 2) You can add your check into BaseController.__call__ inside lib/base.py, which gets called on each request. 3) You can subclass BaseController, add a _before method and let all your controllers descend from it. _before will be called before calling any exposed method of the subclass. I would suggest going for the third as instead of being called always, gets called only for controllers that inherit from your newly created controller, making it both easy to enable or disable the behavior for each controller. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TurboGears" group.
