Thanks a lot, Alberto! That works just fine.
It's not a good practice indeed, but that's the best way, I could figure to do with user-specific stuff. For instance if we're dealing with mail, for get_incoming, get_sent, get_drafts etc I'll have to pass session['user_id'] from the controller to the model method, when It's obvious that this is the only value it'll ever be getting. Checking if the current user can delete a certain letter (if he's the author of it) should obviously be done inside the model, but where will I get the user_id to check? Passing it to the delete function looks just wrong to me. Giving the model access to the session looks far from being good MVC practice, but I couldn't figure a better way. If anyone have any suggestions - i'd love to hear any advice :) On Apr 30, 1:15 pm, Alberto Valverde <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Pavel Skvazh wrote: > > I've been searching throught the docs to figure it out but there's no > > clue.
