Hey Nick! First - thanks for the reply.
Second - the reason why I'm trying to do this is to allow whatever type of widget model I'm creating to render its own particular partial, in the context of the "area" a user will place it - header, footer, sidebar, etc. I thought that calling a helper to weed out the objects for a particular "area" and then letting the model call its partial on its own, would be the easier way to do it, despite the normal MVC rules. I know it's against the rules - so I'm wondering if there's an easier way? Any input would be appreciated! :) Thanks! - Joel On Sun, Nov 23, 2008 at 9:38 PM, Nick <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > On Nov 23, 9:31 pm, "Joel Oliveira" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hey everyone, > > > > *snip* > > > > Thanks everyone! > > > > - Joel > > Hi Joel.
