Hello, I''m still reading the Pragmatic pdf for ROR. I intend to port a small web-based soccer simulation game that a friend of mine wrote in php. I still have in mind the basic cart application that can be found in the pdf. The main pages in the game typically display multiple statistical views (past games, player efficiency, ...) In my basic mind, this would involve calling multiple controllers and so on to fill the data required in the templates.. but that seems just wrong to me... how would you do such a thing? Best regards, Fred -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I''d instantiate that statistics model in the controller, and use render_partial in the main view for each view. Each view would reference the model, which would in turn compute the statistics and return the values for inclusion the template, which in turn would be rendered into the main view. If the statistics could easily be grouped into AR models cleanly, then I''d consider using AR model methods instead of the non-AR class. -- -- Tom Mornini -- Posted with http://DevLists.com.

AR means active record, on the ror book the cart it implemented as a non AR class... If I rember well -- "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing" Edmund Burke
Now, assuming that I have multiple controllers that render in the same
layout with statistics.
To have those statistics computed, I guess I could set up filters on my
controllers actions (to avoid having to explicitly call the computation
methods).
Do you think there is any other/better way to do this?
("statistics" might not have been the best word to express my needs,
as,
for instance, this could be a menu block, a quote-of-the-day block, ...
