Hi, I''ve got a problem that''s been nagging at me for about a year now. Every now and again I end up being burned by it. I''ve never seen mention of it, and I can''t find anything using google (wrong words maybe). Anyway. Say you have some data specifically related to a controller that you want initialised. Ideally this data would be specified in that controller. Now let''s say that other controller/views that provide links to the first controller need to know this information to act rationally. The trouble is that the first controller is not loaded until a user does something that requires it. I have been unsuccessful at getting the controller to load through any coding ''action''. Makes me think I haven''t come across the way that works. No luck with require_dependency... it leaves constants unexpectedly defined. I have ended up sending an HTTP request at start up to the controller. This works, but surely there''s a better way?
