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 ?
