Re: Re: [UHH] any blogs sprung from camping?

Perhaps I'm way in the wrong, but I assumed we could mixin additional
Models, Views, and Controllers. I just sent another message to the
list, where I realized that this is not as easy as I thought. Is it
possible at all?

If so, I think this would provide a very good avenue for a unified
authentication/user method. We could mixin a User model, a Login
controller, and the appropriate views. Like the Camping::Session
mixin.

Similarly for your site wide template idea, mixin a layout method.

Again, I'm still pretty new to camping, so I might be misunderstanding
the whole thing.

Cheers,
