    I am having a silly problem while getting values from another controller, suppose I have a sidebar in my page showing categories coming from category controller but now when I call my page from any other controller other than category it fails to display the categories. so right now I am using AJAX to get the categories in all other page but is there any other way to get this done...

    Thanks Rakesh

    "I am having a silly problem while getting values from another controller"
    how are you passing this values? after a redirectTo, after a POST, by Session? by AJAX ? from whitin a controller calling other controller?

    how are you displaying your "side bar" list ? are they generated by a helper? and if not they should be.

    what do you mean with "i call my page" ? specify.

    Sessions are not a bad idea ... I think, it is a matter of design sometimes as well... Controllers should be reponsible for certain 'subjects' , this way you can avoid passing data from controller to controller. How would you pass data between consecutive page reloads using plain PHP ? I assume, you would use sessions as one of options for this purpose. I would not rely upon Ajax, people do switch javascript off sometimes ...

    Akelos is plain PHP with patterns in it ... check http://www.fluffycat.com/PHP-Design-Patterns/ if you haven't been there yet ... You will find some of those patterns in akelos code ...

    I guess you have checked you options as regards your problem in the context of Rails, if not i recommend doing it ... Rails documentation is much more comprehensive than this here ...

    Best regards Demaio

    Hey thanks guys, the side bar is not generated by helper, actually it is in the main layout or I should rather say that right now I am having a div placed in the main layout which get updated through AJAX call but now I want to remove those AJAX calls as it is slowing down my render time...

    Also thanks for pointing me to that session thing I think it will be a good idea....

    Thanks insanet and demaio
