You will access the component method by using $this->Compomentname- >method() into the controller.
You can use the controller object in the startup function and use something like $this->controller->set() in your component methods to pass variable to views, Thus they can be used by the helper. For the DB, you could use a model and use 1) loadmodel() 2) this- >model = & new model() in your component::startup. Then you can access all methods of model and the DB into the component (ie : $this->model- >findAll() ... etc .. ) A good example for this (no model though) is the pagination component and helper for cake 1.1 On Jul 17, 7:37 pm, citBolon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I'm trying to create a calendar component, i have a > calendars_controller.php it works well but I want it to make re-usable > for layouts.
