At my office, we are working to completely rebuild our existing site, www.sportingnews.com. We have mocked up a rough example of a page, www.sportingnews.com/nfl using cakephp and we are now ready move on to building a full fledged cms/blog/forum system.
My main question is this. We have elements that can be used anywhere on the site (new clips, recent posts, headlines, etc, etc, the list goes on for hundreds). Our editors will have the ability to add elements to pages, move them around etc. I would like to know what the cakephp community thinks is the best way to load all the data needed to power each element. Currently, we have one component for every element. That component operates completely independent from the controller that is calling it. This allows the element/component to be used by any controller/ view. The component then builds a data set that we set in the controller and hand off to the view/element. This seems to work, but would like to know if there is a better way of doing this.
