Re: Menu element
I've added this code to my app_controller and changed it to reflect my data model (my table is called "controls" instead of "categories"). Now I get the following errors on every page: Notice: Undefined property: AppController::$Control in /Library/ WebServer/Documents/serials/app/app_controller.php on line 48 Fatal error: Call to a member function generateList() on a non-object in /Library/WebServer/Documents/serials/app/app_controller.php on line 48 What am I missing? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.

hmm, easiest thing would be to do this in the beforeFilter of your
app_controller.
class AppController extends Controller
{
// you need access to the Category model
// nb: you will need to change this to match your Model name
var $uses = array('Category');
function beforeFilter ()
{
$this->set ('menu_data', $this->Category->generateList ());
}
}

Re: Menu element

I would perhaps put a default value in the constructor of app_controller then a controller specific default in the constructor of each Controller then amend this on a method-by-method basis as required. it really depends on what you're trying to accomplish and the complexity of your app. jon -- jon bennett t: +44 (0) 1225 341 039 w: http://www.jben.net/ iChat (AIM): jbendotnet Skype: jon-bennett --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.

Re: Menu element
Ah i see, but normally you would load the function of the controller through the url blog/post where index would be the function. But how can you load this function without having it in the url? I could think that maybe i can put it in the constructor of appcontroller but this would not be really good code i think, what if i wanted other things availalbe except the menu then i would need to put it all in the constructor, so is there any other way to do this ?

Re: Menu element

ahh, ok. In your controller, you would do this:
$menu_data = array('lorem','ipsum','etc');
$this->set ('menu_data', $menu_data);
then in your view you would do:
echo $this->renderElement ('menu', array('data'=>$menu_data));
then, in your element you'd have something like:
foreach ($data as $item):
...
endforeach;
