hi xhenxhe
personnally, as it's a component needed all the time, I'd put this
line in /cake/app_controller.php :
var $components = array('YourComponent');
then all you need is :
<? echo $this->renderElement('name of the element') ?>
somewhere in your default.thtml
at least that's what I did with the othAuth component (which I need
all the time too), together with an othAuth element I wrote, which
displays the current user and/or links to add user, login, logout,
etc, and which is rendered in my default layout too.
I'm not quite an expert with cake now, so please correct me if I'm wrong.
