To make a long question short: I'm fairly new to caching in Rails. What's the best way to cache stuff that is used in the layout without caching the entire action/view?
Lets say I have the following in my Application controller to set some variables that are used in my layout: before_filter :get_sidebar_items def get_sidebar_items @menu_items = MenuItem.all @archives = Post.all_grouped_by_month end I can easily cache the display of the menu items in application.html.erb using a fragment: <% cache(:menu_items) do %> <% for i in @menu_items %> <%= i.name %> <% end %> <% end %> Problem is, that doesn't cache the database query. Is there a nifty way to cache some global stuff like this? As far as I can tell, the Caching Guide doesn't touch on this much. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
