Hey. I’m currently lacking of a good solution for the following problem: I’ve a few controller, each of them linked to a specific topic like user, books, order etc. (Actually I know that this is the normal way _g_. But its good for explanation). Alongside there is a home controller that acts\_as\_my\_start\_page. On that page I want to include information from each of the topic-related controllers. Means: I want to call actions coming from these controllers on my home-controller-index-view. Kind of sidebar functionality… At the moment I solve this by calling “remote\_functions” (that are located at the end of my body tag) from that index page and include the information via replace\_html. Obviously this isn’t quite the best solution. . Can somebody help? ## bye A.Wolff [[http://activerails.de](http://activerails.de)] Simple Ruby on Rails Weblog [[http://gtdonrails.com](http://gtdonrails.com)] Gtd on Rails – Personal GTD Tool
