Alex Tech Adventures The webs best tutorials!

I'm trying to learn Zend FW, get more and more for each day. Really cool to work with a framework.

But now I'm little bit stuck, and tired so I'm total empty of search terms when I tried to Google a solution.

I have to have a structure to make regaular pages with main content (WYSIWYG), a title, metatitle, meta desc and keywords.

The ID/SELECT should be from the URL (/www.domain.com/about/nicklas) but I want to be able to use the same solution for more then one Model, so i don't need to repeat source each time.

How do I make this effenctive and how do I "send" the pages-meta data into the layout-file?

Looking forward to get some nice tutorials from you to get me started.

Sounds like you need to look into some OOP design patterns. Remember, that you do not have to have mode/controller/viewer in a 1-1-1 ratio. controller goes with viewer, yes, but you can have as much models as you want. They are not tied into controller directly and you can call models from other models. So make a class that performs that one special functionality and call it as necessary from anywhere (other models).

As far as sending data to layout, it is identical to sending values to view:
$this->view->varname = 'data'; // in controller
<?php echo $this->varname; ?> //in layout
so if you want to pass some custom data into, say, title then you would have something like
controller:
$this->view->title = 'page for nicklas' //taken from DB for example.
layout:
<?php echo $this->headTitle($this->title); ?>

Hope i understood your problem correctly.
