Current position

I base my templates on css, one element id in templates changes depending on sections of the site. I need custom function to return needed value of that id depending on where the user is. I'm aware of InSection() control but I want to do this in page controller to get cleaner code in template.
I've tried with function inside page_controller class but problem is that i can't access InSection() function from there. It seems to me that some part of the puzzle regarding page page_controller relation i don't understand right
Any hint regarding that or help with implementing required function will be appreciated.

Controllers have fall back functions to call the same method (or variable) on the underlying dataobject, so it should call InSection() fine.
e.g In your controller, you could go:
$this->InSection("home");is the same as calling
$page = $this->data()
return $page->InSection("home");Perhaps your not in the controller, or your doing something else?
For more information about controllers, have a look at this:
