Right now using the Parameter-based system for routing if we want to define different default_function for each controller we must set a list of all controllers, and then a dictionary with a list of all functions in each controller.
blog=dict( controllers=['posts', 'comments'], functions=dict( posts=['list', 'create', 'show', 'edit', 'delete'], comments=['list', 'create', 'show', 'edit', 'delete'], ), default_controller='posts', default_function=dict( posts='list', comments='show', ) ), Why is this truly necessary? Shouldn't we just set the default_controller and default_function for each controller like bellow? blog=dict( default_controller='posts', default_function=dict( posts='list', comments='show', ) ), It would save lots of time, because every time you add a new controller or function you have to set it in routes and restart the server. And if you have lots of functions, and you access them with .json extension you also have to set those on the list like 'create.json' On Tuesday, July 10, 2012 5:05:44 PM UTC+1, Jonathan Lundell wrote: > > On 10 Jul 2012, at 6:14 AM, Anthony wrote: > > Thanks Anthony and Jonathan.
