    I'm not sure how else to describe it, but here's what I'm trying to do:
    When editing a part, list a small table of the related entries from the "conditions" table, with buttons that pop up a new window to Edit or Delete each condition. (I'll work on the js new window part later)

    Here's what I've done so far:
    - copied and renamed the 'listing.tpl' in "app/view/condition/" to _listing.tpl (so it'll be recognized as a partial, like the _form.tpl)
    - edited _listing.tpl, removing a bunch of stuff BEFORE {?conditions} and removing the ending div tag.
    - Added "var $models = 'condition, part, parts_vendors, vendor'; " inside the part_controller.php.
    - Inside the function edit, inside the part_controller, I added $this->conditions = $this->Condition->find('all',array( 'conditions' => 'conditions.part_id = '.@$this->params['id'], 'order' => 'created_at DESC'));"
    (to create the source for the _listing.tpl)
    - Inside the "views\part_form.tpl" I added &lt;p> <label>_{Part Conditions}</label><br /> <?php echo $controller->renderPartial('../condition/listing')?> </p>

    This almost works, except for an error that I'm trying to trace down. The edit page loads great all the way till it gets to '$condition_helper', and then it throws an error like such Notice: Undefined variable: condition_helper in /home/sambaserve/web/apps/inventory/app/views/condition/compiled/_listing.tpl.php on line 44 Which causes it to fail on the remainder of that line as well.

    Perhaps I'm doing this all wrong. I hope that in working this out by hand I can get a feel for how Akelos is setup. Can someone point me in the direction so I can get the $condition_helper 's working when called from a part edit view? Or perhaps a differn't way to do it? I'd love to see some tutorials on this exact subject. Hmm.. shouldn't there be something like this is a regular blog setup? hmm..

    And it's solved! For anyone else who needs to move helpers to a global scale, try the following in your application_helper.php file. class ApplicationController extends AkActionController { var $app_helpers = 'my_global'; } Where 'my_global' is the name of your controller.

    I used this to make my application work: class ApplicationController extends AkActionController { var $app_helpers = 'condition'; }

    And I had to modify show, edit, and destroy functions in condition_helper.php to look somewhat like this: return $this->_controller->url_helper->link_to($this->_controller->t('Edit'), array('controller' => 'condition', 'action' => 'edit', 'id' => $record->getId()));
