Hi Kevin,

I have put some examples up on rendering other views, executing other
action, and howto redirect... Its in an updated tarball on the same
location /vc.tar :)

Regarding routing it was to control parameters and url layout... In
rails you do something like:

  map.connect 'profiles/:username', :controller =3D> 'profile', :action =3D=
> 'view'

I could easily implement something similar, as I've said in my two
earlier posts, this is just coded as proof-of-concept but it should be
fairly easy to make it fully usable...

Here goes examples for redirection as you requested...

Sorry for the long copy paste following:

  function red_string()
  {
    $this->redirect('/article/view/14231');
  }

  function red_array()
  {
    $this->redirect(
      array(
        'controller' =3D> 'article',
        'action' =3D> 'view',
        'id' =3D> '43223'
      )
    );
  }

  function view_render()
  {
    $this->some_var =3D "some var from other businness logic, id=3D" .
$this->get['id'];
    $this->someitems =3D array(
      'test other 1',
      'test other 2',
      'test other 3',
      'test other 4'
    );
    $this->render('/article/view');
  }

  function view_action_render()
  {
    $this->view();
    $this->render('/article/view');
  }


I would implement filters like in rails for a thing like Login screen,
when I have some sparetime here at work I will do that...

a before_filter is a method called return true or false wether or not
a action and view should be processed :)
