Re: Access Classes In Layout Help??

My issue with the cake site is it never gives a thorough description on
anything. It's why I'm always on nabble asking silly questions :P From what
I read from the link you provided, it seems I need to do something with the
$this->render function.

The set variables I've already defined do not automatically show up in my
layout/view/default.ctp as the posts above implied. Where can I call the
render function to properly direct my variables to the layout. Do put in
the controller action:

$this->render(null, 'layout');

Will that send all that actions set variables to the layout? Or is there
something I need to call in default.ctp to get that information.
Unfortunately, I'm still confused about this...
