Slices generator should make ApplicationController inherit from SlicesController

@erino (or anyone) - what's the thinking behind this? Actually I think I disagree with it. There have been a lot of cases recently where only part of the site has been Slices-backed, the rest being "normal" Rails. In those situations it would be nice to be able to have a common parent for the two parts:

          ApplicationController
               /          \
SlicesController   NormalRailsController

I agree with @bensymonds on this.

I would personally prefer to make SlicesController a mixin so that controllers in the host app can inherit their own ApplicationController and SlicesController. Thoughts?

[calumgunn]

Sounds good to me. Been doing a lot of the "normal" Rails stuff and making that harder would be traumatic.

[bensymonds]

Yeah mixin sounds good to me.

[erino]

Should the mixin be automatically added to ApplicationController?
