Use elements with requestAction(). Cache the element. Pass your parameters to the element. > Now, I've tried requestAction, but that only imports data from a > controller action, and not the view. Consider elements as being mini-views. Once you fetch the data from the controller you still need to do something with it for display. > App:import also doesn't seem right, because views still get approached > by a different controller than the references point to. > > So I thought, maybe I should use the 'good old' PHP include > function :) But that doesn't seem to work, because of mod_rewrite. It should work if your paths are correct and you use a filesystem path, rather than a URL. But, it wouldn't solve your problem, anyway. The controller class wouldn't be properly loaded. That's what App::import() is for. Check out the new CakePHP Questions site http://cakeqs.org and help others with their CakePHP related questions.
