1) off course you can, in BaseController you have
def get_recent_footer_content
@recent_clippings = Clipping.find_recent(:limit => 10)
@recent_photos = Photo.find_recent(:limit => 10)
@recent_comments = Comment.find_recent(:limit => 13)
@popular_tags = popular_tags(30, ' count DESC')
@recent_activity = User.recent_activity(:size => 15, :current =>
1)
end
if you want to show them in the footer, you just have to render
@recent_clippings, if you want them in the home page body, you can put
this line:
@recent_clippings = Clipping.find_recent(:limit => 10)
in get_additional_homepage_data of BaseController and render it.
2) Every model can be modified, there are some posts in this group
talking about that.
3) Just add a menu entry pointing to yourdomain/clippings.
Good luck!
