I have a section in my default layout (default.ctp) called "Recent
Posts". The posts are stored in my database. Currently, each method
in my posts controller includes the following code.
# code snippet 1
$fields = array('id', 'title');
$this->set('data_for_layout', $this->Post->findAll(null, $fields,
null, 5));
Then I use this in my layout (default.ctp) to print out the posts
#layout code snippet.
foreach($data_for_layout as $post)
{
echo '<li><a href="/posts/view/' . $post['Post']['id'] . '">'.
$post['Post']['title'] . "</a></li>\n";
}
My problem is that I have to include the top code snippet in each
method to make it work this way, which seems wrong. I have been
trying to find a better way to do this in the manual, but am coming up
empty. Am I supposed to use elements or helpers to do this? Can I tie
those to the database somehow? Any help would be greatly appreciated
since I am new to cakePHP! Thanks!
