hey dood,
i don't know if this would be the best method but you can access the
controller from your views and layouts via:
$this->controller
so you can check for the controller name
if ($this->controller->name == 'Blahs') {
display
}
or for the modelClass
if ($this->controller->modelClass == 'Blah') {
display
}
my knowledge of MVC is fairly new but i tend to access the controller
attributes quite a lot to grab things like the modelClass etc. this
way I can create reusable elements quite easily.
i'm sure there are better ways of doing this, but it works.
cheers,
freedom
