Is there a way to access the route params from @params from within the sidebar components?
I'm trying to write a calendar sidebar, however @params["year"] and @params["month"] are never passed onto the subcomponents of the sidebar. Is there a way to access these variables that anyone is aware of? Also why is it that the link_to and url_for commands don't work in the components? Also is there a nice way to gets helpers for a component? Or should those just go in another class in the component controller class file. Also I know it's all peachy cool and whatnot to drag and drop components onto the sidebar and set up the orderings there, however doing a query on the list of components really seems to clog up the logging with a lot of queries. Maybe it would make more sense to write out a new sidebar file everytime the sidebar list is updated on the admin end. If it doesn't exist then create it, that way we minimize the db queries. Obviously on production the content caching should eliminate some of this, but it would make the development log alot easier to read, not to mention the issues if any of the components have dynamic content.
