when working with formHelper is there a way to tell it to not wrap form elements in a div tag when using input(...)? |

Scotto: if you are going to cache, then request action is your only option :) |
| # |
Sep 11th 2009, 11:30 |
Scotto |
well it might be a good idea to cache this element if it isnt going to change too often |

Scotto: don't know much about that, but unless you are going to cache, i don't think it'll be any different |
| # |
Sep 11th 2009, 11:29 |
Scotto |
palam: would using requestAction be more efficient? |
| # |
Sep 11th 2009, 11:26 |
palam |
Scotto: yes, so it's more efficient |
| # |
Sep 11th 2009, 11:26 |
Scotto |
ah so make the find not work for specific controllers |
| # |
Sep 11th 2009, 11:25 |
palam |
if there is a controller or action that you don't require it, you can do it by testing $this->params['controller' |
| # |
Sep 11th 2009, 11:25 |
palam |
do the find in your app_controller's beforeFilter method |
| # |
Sep 11th 2009, 11:24 |
Scotto |
palam: can you rephrase that last comment? |
| # |
Sep 11th 2009, 11:24 |
palam |
Scotto: even if it is most of them, you can do a check and find when required |
| # |
Sep 11th 2009, 11:24 |
Scotto |
but most of the public accessible pages |
| # |
Sep 11th 2009, 11:23 |
Scotto |
palam: not all of them |
| # |
Sep 11th 2009, 11:23 |
palam |
then find and set in app_controller |
| # |
Sep 11th 2009, 11:23 |
palam |
Scotto: you have it in all your pages? |
| # |
Sep 11th 2009, 11:23 |
Scotto |
palam: what controller? |
| # |
Sep 11th 2009, 11:23 |
Scotto |
i have a "recent news" element which needs to be in a static view |
| # |
Sep 11th 2009, 11:22 |
palam |
why can't you run the find in the controller and set it? you can access it in an element you call from a view |
| # |
Sep 11th 2009, 11:21 |
Scotto |
palam: might be good to cache it but isnt neccessary right now |
| # |
Sep 11th 2009, 11:21 |
Scotto |
so i have to create a controller for 'pages'? |
| # |
Sep 11th 2009, 11:21 |
palam |
Scotto: you mean cached? |
| # |
Sep 11th 2009, 11:21 |
Scotto |
than how do i get the data i need into the element, when the view that the element is in, is static? |
| # |
Sep 11th 2009, 11:21 |
palam |
you do finds in controllers or models |
| # |
Sep 11th 2009, 11:20 |
palam |
Scotto: you can't do a find() in the element |
| # |
Sep 11th 2009, 11:20 |
Scotto |
just want to make sure that im doing it correctly |
| # |
Sep 11th 2009, 11:19 |
Scotto |
if i have an element that needs data from a specific model, and i need to to show up next to views which are static, do i use a find() in the element itself? |
| # |

markstory: i meant explanations for the filters (encode, escape etc), but i guess i can figure that out. thanks! |
