unless you want the Menu model available in all of your controllers, I would not put it in the uses array. Both the uses array and the method I described use references, so they are pretty much the same in that respect.
As far as MVC, requestAction in a view should be avoided. Elements break some of the MVC rules to make our lives easier, so lets not get too caught up there. Overall, Felix I think you are writing more code than you need to. A couple of things from my perspective. The beforeFilter property was deprecated in 0.10 in favor of the beforeFilter() method. The beforeFilter happens before the controller, so grabbing a menu for display is out of place there unless for some reason you need that menu data in all your controllers. Bake on. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.
