Application structure question

[eluser]shaffick[/eluser]
Hey guys,

I have a question that's been bothering me for days. My application runs on 2 templates, one for homepage and one for frontpage.

Now, for example, if I add a shared component to the sidebar, some data being pulled from the database, I will have to update every single controller and every single function in those controllers to pull the data and pass it to the template.

Please let me know if the explanation above is unclear.

I'd love to hear what you guys think will be a nice way to tackle this problem or restructure my application.

Thanks in advance.
