I have a helper which needs the "codecats" table data (20-40 rows)
everywhere where it is used.
i sure could ask for it in the controller:
->list('all')..
and pass it the view
there i can again pass it to the helper

but is there
a) a way to automatically pass it from the controller to the helper
b) directly get the information into the helper (without having to
manually query the DB)

i have thought about using some caching or file-exporting (xml)
the helper could read out this file again.
but - what kind of backup would there be if the file gets lost somehow
(as it is in temp folder the max lifetime may be over some time)?
or is this a good practive anyway?

thats what is bothering me right now
as i do not know how to stick to the MVC pattern

especially because this helper is not bound to specific controllers
and may be used quite a lot.
so it would be really a huge load of code if i have to do it as
described above: controller -> view -> helper

thx
