Hi, I needed to generate contents (like a sidebar, a custom footer) in the default layout (layout.ctp) outside $content_for_layout from the views.
I just made a simple helper to solve this: > <?php > class BlockHelper extends Helper > { > var $prefix = 'dataBlock'; > function setValue( $key = '', $value = 'value' ) { > $view =& ClassRegistry::getObject('view'); > $view->viewVars[$this->prefix][$key] = $value ; > > } > function getValue( $key = '' , $defaulValue = '' ) { > $view =& ClassRegistry::getObject('view'); > if ( isset( $view->viewVars[$this->prefix][$key] ) ) { > return $view->viewVars[$this->prefix][$key] ; > } else { > return $defaultValue ; > } > } > } > ?> In the layout I use: > echo $block->getValue( 'sidebar' ) ; > and in the views: // inside view posts/view > $block->setValue ( 'sidebar', 'There isn't comments' ); > // inside view contents/view > $block->setValue ( 'sidebar', $this->requestAction('/contents/menu/1', > array('return')) ); > [...] I don't know if it is the best way to solve it. ¿ Any ideas ? -- Antonio Cortés (Dr Zippie) "El ordenador es la evolucion logica del hombre: Inteligencia sin moral": John Osborne.
