thx
i might actually consider that for getting the information
cached file - and if not possible manually through a query
the helper still needs to be a helper though
but this way there is backup :)
if i would just use the element without caching
this could be quit a lot of more "server load" to handle
as this helper (and therefore the table content) is needed on many
pages.
