Yarko,
I should explain. In some instances when I put together the view I
will have code segments that are pulled in as a {{include}}. No
controller involved at all. Having to do the controller call would not
be such a hassle of course. But in a site where much of the content is
static html and web2py is used to handle some dynamic components it
seems a waste to now have to have the content flow through web2py
first.
If you tell a site owner in such an instance that he has to have
controller pass thru for all his legacy content he will look
elsewhere.
