Hi, what is the current best practice to create a sidebar with a couple of content blocks. Think of a login/logoff block, a search block, a block with some categories, a block with a book taken from Amazon or some pictures taken from Flickr.
I could write a couple of plugins which could read data from models and add output to the view. I could use Zend_View_Helper_Action to use action methods from a controller. I could use the Action stack plugin Zend_Controller_Plugin_ActionStack to chain some actions to be processed. I could use Zend_Layout to use response segments. I could try to find my own solution. Which solution would yor prefer? Maybe some one has even done such a thing and could provide us with his experiences. Thanks and best regards, Ralf
