Would I use a helper for this situation?
I have a layout that is used over two controllers (admin and login).
Each controller has their own navigation. Can I do something like this?
<%= getNavigation("admin") %> or <%=
getNavigation("login") %>
And return the navigation list depending on the string sent?

You could do it the way you suggest or... 1. use a component to render the navigation, or 2. use a partial template personally I reserve helpers for methods that do some work, if it is all just ''view'' stuff (like links, etc), I would just put it in a partial. _Kevin On Friday, February 17, 2006, at 1:04 PM, Buntin, Seth - KATE wrote:>Would I use a helper for this situation? > > > >I have a layout that is used over two controllers (admin and login). >Each controller has their own navigation.

After I sent the post I started thinking about what I should do and the partials popped into my head and I had a "Doh!" moment. Thanks.
