Hi Damar,
Hopefully I'm understanding the question. It seems to me that your header
and footer would be pretty much the same on the various pages, right? So,
then why deal with the header/footer stuff in every model? You don't have
to cram all your model logic into a single model. You can have separate
models for dealing with headers and footers and then have more specific
models that deal with the main contents of a page. You might want to try
compile-time SSI (server side includes) also to simplify this process somewhat.
Does that help? Have a model that deals with header and/or footer
information and have other models that deal with the main content of your
pages.
