how to "put" data into the second column in the column2-layout? I have in column2.php in the second column put a widget. Widget has some parameteres which I would like to set dynamically from controller (e.g. each controller/action could put different ones). What is the best way to achieve this?

I think the easiest way is to declare a new property in the controller :


class myController extends Controller {


public $foo;


public function index() {

    $this->foo='bar';

    $this->render('index');

    }

}

and of course, in the column2:


<?php echo $this->foo;?>
