Hi guys, I my application has to be all the "recent news, recent users, recent pictures"-stuff. This is shown in a rendered view. Right now I'm using a site controller getting data from different models like
@news = Article.find(:all, :limit => 3, :order => 'created_at DESC') Of course that doesn't work anymore calling different contollers. I thought about setting a global variable? I tried to put it in apllication_helper but I get a nil-error by writing def recent $news = Article.find(:all, :limit => 3, :order => 'created_at DESC') end and calling the following in the render <% for news in $news %> <h5><%=h news.title %></h5> <p><%=h truncate(news.synopsis, 200) %></p> <p><a href="#" title="mehr" class="more">mehr...</a></p> <% end %> Is it fine to work with a global variable and if how to do that?
