Re: [fw-mvc] When using Zend_Layout requests seem to run twice

Hi,

There is only one alternative i can think of but it's a very bad practice one. You can use the old .htaccess rules that redirects the request to the MVC not unless the resource exists in the server but explicitly specifies which resources should not be redirected. So if you have lots of resources files added and you can't keep track of which ones actually exists then that rule will probably serve you better.

Hi all

I run into the same problem, but I cannot actually implement Matthew's
solution. I'm developing a site that is almost exclusively filled with user
generated content, and there is no way for me to guarantee that everything
every user does, always goes according to this plan.

So is there any alternative?

Thanks in advance?
