Re: A view associated with a lot of urls

Thanks !

So you'll not check if the category/item exists ( if a user enter a
bad url ), you'll just hit the database to check if it does in fact
exists ?

However with that, there is no way for example to make a difference
between "there is no items in this category" and "this category
doesn't exist" !

Well that could be a solution but only 1 collection for a lot of
different unrelated categories seems really odd to me, why not a model
per category ?
