    Hi. I've got place in my layout for newest product - it's set by candle model. I would like to display it when candle controller is called, but when others (like page controller,contact controller) too - is it possible, to show it without loading candle model in each controller ? I'm showing my newest candle with code like this: <p><span><%= link_to newest.name, {:controller=>'candle',:action=>'showCandle',:id=>newest.category,:candle=>newest.name} %></span></p> I guess, that I can create new model (for ex. blocks model) and there set $this->newest variable - however, I can't use there Candle model, can I ?

    Sorry for my language errors - I'm still learning English ;)

    you could do this in a helper and/or partial. just

    Ak::import('Candle');
    

    then instantiate the model.
