Re: Howto include a View into another View?
If you are using Ajax, just use $this->AutoRender(false); in your controller. And you can just use $this->renderElement(someelement) in your view, if you need a view (which you don't when using the AutoRender(false) option.

Re: Howto include a View into another View?
Little update:
It looks like $this->render sets $this->hasRendered property to true,
preventing successive renderings. It can be avoided by setting $this-
>hasRendered to false after each call to $this->render method.
And finally you always can simply do: include
('whatever_path_you_need_and damn_it_all');

Re: Howto include a View into another View?
I really hate looking into source code, 'cause I'd rather think that there is everything clean and neat, then look and find out that it is nowhere cleaner then my own (which I kinda dislike a bit :) But anyway... It turned out that there is "render" function included in the View class, so that resolving the problem like mine is very simple - one can call 'render' function right from the view. Like this: render(null, 'ajax', 'test'); ?> null - will be substituted with current action, 'ajax' will ensure that view is not wrapped up in layout, and 'test' is the name of the view file, inside (!) the same action folder! Clean and perfect. P.S. Although I feel a bit uncomfortable now, once I got a glimpse of Cakes internals.

Re: Howto include a View into another View?
@robustsolution But it is said that requestAction adds unnecessary load on the backend, making another http request, isn't that true? If yes, then why should anyone need something like that when it's just a matter of simple include? It can be though, that I miss some point in what you've suggested - I do not feel like being on ground yet when using Cake. @jacmoe, @Lance Willett Not a bad solution, although pieces still get separated, despite of the fact that they are actually one View. I guess that's what I'll have to stick to though. Thanks guys.

Re: Howto include a View into another View?
As jacmoe said, the best practice is to put elements specific to one view into a subfolder named the same as the view. That way you aren't cluttering the elements directory with lots of files, and the element files specific to that view will be easy to find and call. Example: if the element belong to /views/users, put it in /views/ elements/users/.

Dear @Jayarjo If I understand very well your Question, I think you should read a little bit about requestAction with 'return' extra parameter On Oct 22, 2:13 pm, jayarjo wrote: > I'm getting a huge View and I'm thinking now of splitting it into > separate pieces and include them into the main View, as I will need > them.

Re: Howto include a View into another View?
What's wrong with using elements/controller/some_element ? Or elements/controller/somegroup/another_element ?

Howto include a View into another View?
I'm getting a huge View and I'm thinking now of splitting it into separate pieces and include them into the main View, as I will need them. I know I can create Elements and include them, but the problem is that those smaller Views that I'd like to create are specific to this main View only. So that I'd rather store them inside that folder named after the Controller of the main View rather then clutter Elements folder with unnecessary files. Is there any widespread solution to this? There should be some. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.
