Re: Is there a lighter weight alternative to requestAction?

However, suppose the content editors want to write an article about farmers markets and they want to display a list of farmers markets in the local area, we can tell them to embed something like {/organizations/list/tag:farmers-markets/radius:10/count:5} in the content. Or somewhere else they want a list of music events, then we would tell them to embed {/events/list/tag:music/radius:75/count:10}. So by passing that URL to requestAction, it will call the appropriate controller and action and return the rendered content. It keeps the code simple and modular, in the spirit of MVC.

What I am suggesting is slightly different... instead of having one requestAction for each of the modules you need included, I suggest to have only one requestAction for all the modules on the page. This would cut the overhead of rebuilding the Cake API for every module on the page.
