First, make sure that logic is encapsulated in a model. Then create a view helper that pulls that information from the model and renders it. If that information is not changing often, I'd also add some caching logic to either the model or the view helper to reduce the number of hits to the database. > The Proposed Fix > I am confused as to the correct way you would fix this problem.
