Hello list!

I have a navigation bar where I want't to display the recently added members with a partial.

When I jump let's say to an action in the LinksController and render the partial it will fail because the partial does not know about the Member model.

Where to put

  def get_members     @members = Member.find(:all)   end

so the every partial can access it?

Thanx

make it a before_filter

Thats's the way I did it .... Let's say I have 10 controllers .. then I have to put it in there 10
times? Is this correct?

I thought there might be a specail place to put.

Thanx

No - make it a before_filter in application.rb
