Re: CakePHP 2.3 parent::beforeFilter Gets called twice

I just figured this out.
I had an element in the layout which has a line with a requestAction() call. This was responsible for the second call to beforeFilter();
Also, the cake book for 2.3 is a little misguiding in the way it defines the new parameters for cached elements.

On page 50 it specifies the old format of:
echo $this->element('latest_comments', array('cache' => '+1 hour'));

While on page 80 the new format is given as:
$this->element('helpbox', array(), array(
"cache" => array('config' => 'short', 'key' => 'unique value')
)
);
This ensured that my element was never cached. Also, there is no default config / path for view cache (in Config/core.php) so view cache files end up in app/tmp/cache/

Please correct me if I'm not.
I noticed the call happens twice when I include a call to parent::beforeFilter() in my controller's beforeFilter method which puts an overhead on the app.

CakePHP calls your controller beforeFilter() which already contains a call to parent::beforeFilter() and then calls the AppController's beforeFilter() again.

That's not how CakePHP works.
