This has come up a lot lately for some reason. I guess because there are not enough examples.
Personally, I would setup and element. Lets calll it /app/views/ elements/menu.thtml add to this: $controls = $this->requestAction('controls/index'); foreach($controls as $control) { //do whatever } very simply this asks the controls controller to return the index method so you can display the data however you want <?php class ContolsController extends AppController { function index() { $contols = $this->Control->findAll(); //here is where the requesAction is handled so only the data is returned if(isset($this->params['requested'])) { return $controls; } $this->set('controls', $controls); } } ?> --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.
