Use an element. 1) In your UsersController you have a function that returns the count of live users:
class UsersController extends AppModel { .... function getCountLiveUsers() { //perform the calculation return $n; } } 2) Create /view/elements/number_of_live_users.ctp whith this /*File number_of_live_users.ctp */ $n = $this->requestAction('/users/getCountLiveUsers'); echo $n; /*EOF*/ 3) and finally, in your layout default.ctp or whatever view, you can use your element. <html> <head> ... </head> <body> There are <?php echo $this- >element('number_of_live_users') ?> </body> </html> --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.
