Re: requestAction question
So my first assumption was right - you need to have common element in
non-AJAX layout. In this case all you need is call model function
Apple::getAppleInfo() in AppController beforeFilter/beforeRender that
will retrieve and set data for view and put $this-
>element('show_apples') into layout. And no any need for
requestAction, just simple model call and element output. Or, if logic
of your current ApplesController::getAppleInfo() is too complex for
model, put it into component and use it in AppController.

RE: requestAction question
LOL sorry. Try this again. Imagine a 2 col layout left side is nav and under the nav are pictures of 4 apples with text / size / price (these apple details are pulled when you visit apples page / the index of apples.com) The sidenav has Apples / Oranges / Peaches You click on oranges it ajax loads oranges into the main col so the left side never changed (good) But oranges has nothing to do with apples so you do not get any apple info but since the left side never changed because the link was ajax the 4 apples are still there as they were (good) Right click / bookmark open a oranges or peaches pages directly with HTTP request your loading a fresh template / layout and apple element with the apple element on the side but no apple info is pulled since its not related at all. I need to get apple info on every page no matter what page your on, or how you get to it so I figured if the apple element said to itself everytime its loaded getAppleInfo() with requestAction this would solve the problem. (some apples might be sold out, not in season) so apple data changes thru out the users visit when http requests are made (other links besides Oranges and Peaches) **I know about caching just left it out to not complicate thing even more Hope that gives you a better idea.

RE: requestAction question
Not sure I follow you there. The element on the side only gets refreshed if loaded thru standard HTTP request. Page A, B and C are different controller actions unrelated to each other so to get that data for each page if loaded thru HTTP will require getting unrelated models data if done thru the controllers action. No? Maybe not following you there...sorry if I'm wrong.

RE: requestAction question
Thanks. I am half way thru deciding. I am building a function just to get those 4 fields and cache the data. requestAction might come next depending on how I feel. requestAction in my case would only be called if the user wants to open the page in a new Window why is beyond me but I can not predict the habits of every user.
