I build my nav from a database table. Not sure if it's relevant but I'm trying to use the autowire functionality built into coldbox. At the moment I see I have two options. a) Create an object and call my model direcly from the nav.cfm file b) Add a call to the nav in every function of each eventHandler. Niether option feels right, how should this be done? Thanks, Richard

Basically, you render an event: #runEvent('nav.dynamic')# Then in your nav handler and dynamic method, you will do your logic and then render back the view you like: function dynamic(event){ // Get dynamic data here from modles, etc, // render back the view return renderView('nav/dynamic'); } Luis Majano
