before_filters, except, only and stuff

Added by Chris Woerle at 2011-09-27 10:54 am

There are in every controller a lot of different very special configurations.
specific filter :only, or :except etc. pp.

Do you all love this?
I hate it, i think we should go for less filters, more global, and slightly remove those hard to understand things.

Not that much.

Less filters isn't really an option either, as each filter is a fine-grained level of functionality you could tweak.

The current state of affairs regarding deep refactorings though is that they should wait for the switch to rails 3 and possibly a reworked/better test suite to avoid breaking compat without warnings…

i agree, that this has to be done very carefully.
i don't oversee everything, but i think there is the danger to make routes available, which are not protected at all and would allow querying things, that you expect as protected.
