Function? Not sure where to place a function used on every page - El Forum - 11-19-2009
[eluser]JamieBarton[/eluser]
Hi all,
I have a sidebar view, at the moment it is just an html file. However, I would like to put some things in it which are dynamic.
There are two things, which would need to require a model then feedback a variable I can use in a foreach inside of the Sidebar, this I know.
What I don't know is where I should place this function?
I'm thinking of a helper. What it does is query the db for a limit of 8 records for family members and i want to display them on the sidebar which is included in every page.
I just don't know how the variables used inside of the sidebar will be known.
Hoping someone can assist me with this.
Regards,
Jamie

Hi Jamie.
You seem to be asking a very high proportion of frequently asked questions.
I'd point you at the direction of the [url="/wiki/FAQ"]FAQ[/url] - it would be good for us if you familiarised yourself with the information that's already available.
It's also covered in [url="/wiki/Header_and_Footer_and_Menu_on_every_page_-_jedd/"]this section[/url] of the wiki.

Thanks for your response, hopefully I'll be able to get the hang of that.
