Hi Guys

I just can't get my head around this please help!!!

My main template layout is as follows;

Code:

<div id="wrapper">
  <div id="header">&lt;?=$header?&gt;</div>
  <div id="content">&lt;?=$content?&gt;</div>
  <div id="right_column">&lt;?=$right_column_content?&gt;</div>
  <div id="footer">&lt;?=$footer?&gt;</div>
</div>

Now the header and footer content is simple as it's just HTML, but for the right column I want to be able to show latest news articles, latest events etc IE dynamic data.

So there for would I have to fetch data for the right hand column, header, footer and the main content in each seperate controller?
