autocontrollers

I've thought in something like:

Code:

class MX_Controller extends Controller
{  
  function show_all($row = NULL,$howmany = NULL)
  {
      $model = $this->properties->get('main_model');
      $data['entries'] = $this->{$model}->get_all($row,$howmany);
      $this->_render('show_all');//joins all partial views with the 'show_all' view
  }
  //more methods like show_one show_by($field,$value),insert,update($id),delete
  ...
}

Then when you declare a controller it will be simple like:

Code:

class Blog extends MX_Controller
{
function __construct()
{
  parent::__construct();
  $this->porperties = load_properties('blog');
}
}

And you will have the basic methods, then you can do new ones or extend it. You will can change the view changing the theme in the properties.

This is a simple example. I might consider that it will have relationship tables, javascript, css, additional helpers or libraries ..., additional views, interacction between controllers...
