Hi Peter,

There's one additional_data method, called once per request before the 
model's process method is called. additional_data is a method in the 
application class, not the model class (see the Maypole class doc). So 
the results of additional_data() should typically be stored in the 
request where the model and view can subsequently access them.

HTH, Dave
