Hi Guys,

I am new to cakephp. I am having the following issue:

I am displaying list of checkbox containing clubs to a login user. The
list of clubs I am passing through the models via controllers in the
traditional way.

Now the logged in user should see his list of clubs automatically
ticked. This list is present in another database.

One solution is to get the list of user clubs in the controller itself
and pass it to the view.

But is there any alternative way, where I can access the user clubs in
the view itself without loading in the controller.

Basically i am looking for something similar like View Helpers in
Zend. We can access the model data in views using view Helpers. Is
there something similar in cakephp.

P.S: I have asked this question to a few people who knew cake php and
their first reaction is that you shouldn't access model data in views
as it is against MVC. But let me assure you we can access model data
in view as long as it is read only. At least that is what we are used
to follow in Zend Framework. :)
