The reason this works (if it works) is that the existing dispatch code runs the models before it looks at request.controller to choose the controller. So editing it should work, as a very general way of rewriting. Of course, this has implications for controller-specific models, so you'd need to be cautious about that. Another thing to be cautious about is that since this is undocumented behavior, it might change in the future. This kind of programmatic rewrite can be quite useful, but doing in in the model isn't ideal. Perhaps a pre-model hook as part of rewrite? > http://zerp.ly/rochacbruno > > Em 13/11/2011 17:21, "Jonathan Lundell" <[email protected]> escreveu: > On Nov 13, 2011, at 11:07 AM, Bruno Rocha wrote: > >> > Here's an alternative, though.
