hi chris, thanks for this one. but i am well aware of this, or half of this, that i absolutely search, dig every corner before i start asking. I searched it all in the groups and i searched google of the error it returned and what i only got are sites that is also suffering from the same error as mine. Im also a test-and-see-and-test... kinda guy where i keep on troubleshooting and see what happens. and i just ran out of places to look at before i start asking, cause i always have the dilemma that i cant explain my question clearly and might just end up with nothing. but anyway, thanks for this one. it helped me organize a few thoughts of mine while i was reading it. and while i was reading it, i managed to get the answer to my question.
i remembered that every controller extends app_controller (loc: app/ appp_controller.php), so i thought maybe i should put it here just in case (not really thinking why but just testing it). so i made a beforeFilter() and added my category_list variable but still it didnt got to the layout. but when i changed it to beforeRender() it now is being displayed (pr()) in the layout. now i tested it again and put it back in a single controller and in the beforeRender() but it doesnt work. so i just have it in the app_controller. now im puzzled why?? thanks though. very appreciated help. heres the snippet i did btw, class AppController extends Controller { function beforeRender() { if (!isset($this->params['admin'])) { $this->set('menu_categories', $this->Category->generateList(null, 'name ASC', null, '{n}.Category.id', '{n}.Category.name')); } } . . . } On Jul 24, 8:57 pm, "Chris Hartjes" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On 7/24/07, eiji <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > bump? > > This link should help. > > http://slash7.com/pages > > -- > Chris Hartjes > Senior Developer > Cake Development Corporation > > My motto for 2007: "Just build it, damnit!" > > @TheBallpark -http://www.littlehart.net/attheballpark > @TheKeyboard -http://www.littlehart.net/atthekeyboard --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.
