3 different areas, 1 yield?!

Hello,

I'm having a problem which is following: <div id="header"><img ...></div> <div id="navigation">[STUFF FROM THE DB]</div> <div id="submenu">[STUFF FROM THE DB]</div> <div id="content"><%= yield %></div> <div id="footer">[STUFF FROM THE DB]</div>

How can I fill the [STUFF FROM THE DB] div's when I only have one single yield? I can't think of any possible solution...

Yep! Thanks a lot.

One more question arose that Google and the search couldn't answer: One of these div's have the very same entry no matter what page is being loaded therefore I'd need have:

<% content_for :footer do %>   <%= render :partial => "shared/footer" %> <% end %>

in every view and this is not very DRY. Is there any possibility to make it DRY?

That should go into your layout (apps/views/layouts).

Heinz,

You should really take a look at this:
