Re: Dynamic menu content in layout

No, you don’t want to anything in the view that involves querying the database. The controller action for that given page should know what menu to fetch from database and set that to the view.

Okay, let's suppose I want to put my menu in an element called "top_menu.ctp". I want to get my data out of the database, so probably, I shouldn't connect with my database in that .ctp file. I wonder if that's the right way to do so? MVC normally split us the model logic and the view logic, but now you'll all get it in one file? Or am I missing something? ;)
