Re: Dynamic Sidebar
so are you using beforeRender to pull your data as needed, to populate the sidebar elements? i'd be interested in seeing how someone turns cakephp into a proper cms, with dynamic side columns, dynamic templates, template editing (looked like davidicus cms had that one solved), easy-to-add modules/components, etc On 6/23/07, Contrid [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have found the beforeRender() function.

Re: Dynamic Sidebar based on Controller/Content
Hi Bobby, Can´t comment on best way but: A bit of request action might be the way forwards; as the menu items are at least in part contextual: there is also a tutorial I wrote on the wiki with regards to CSS Menus which indicates a different approach to seperating the logic (component) from the display (element). Might be useful, at least in contrast/to evaluate approaches.

Re: Dynamic Sidebar based on Controller/Content
Hi Bobby,
Just (another) thought, you may find that something like this is more
appropriate.
Here's a variation on the theme, no component, but with a menu element:
// Defined in app_controller
var $menuContext = Array();
// Defined in app_controller
function beforeFilter ()
{
$this-_defineMenuContext();
$this-controller-set('ContextMenu',$this-menuContext);
}
// Defined or derived in each controller
function _defineMenuContext()
{ // add logic to change based on current function
$this-menuContext[] = Array (Something,/Blah/Blah);
}
In the relavent element, loop through the $ContextMenu variable
creating the context relavent links for your controller.
Cheers,
AD7six
