I think it's clear now to me...
I get exactly what I wanted with the following:
-----------------------------------%<--------------------------------
function beforeFilter() {
if( $this->action != 'view' AND
$this->action != 'index' ) {
$this->__validateLoginStatus();
}
}
-----------------------------------%<--------------------------------
Thank you for your help djiize !!!
Bye...
