The element refers to data just like any other view. I use an element
to display task listings, and by choosing which data to pass to the
element, I get different displays on the same page:
<div class="related">
<?php if (isset($userSlots)):?>
<h3><?php __('You are signed up for');?></h3>
<?php echo $this->element('signup_list', array( 'slots' =>
$userSlots )); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<h3><?php __('Available Time Slots for '. $job['Job']
['job_name']);?></h3>
<?php if (isset($availableSlots)):?>
<?php echo $this->element('signup_list', array( 'slots' =>
$availableSlots )); ?>
<?php else: ?>
<h3>Nobody signed up for this job yet</h3>
<?php endif; ?>
<div class="actions">
<ul>
<li><?php echo $html->link(__('Show Jobs', true), array
('controller'=> 'jobs', 'action'=>'index'));?> </li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
As you can see, I use the signup_list element with a different value
passed in as 'slots' each time ...
