You should create a Widget.

Note: I copied below from another post. It works like charm.

First Create a new widget. Let say the name is CategoryWidget. Put this widget under components directory protected/components.

class CategoryWidget extends CWidget {

    public function run() {
        $models = Category::model()->findAll();

        $this->render('category', array(
            'models'=>$models   
        ));
    }
}

Then create a view for this widget. The file name is category.php. Put it under protected/components/views category.php

<?php if($models != null): ?>
<ul>
    <?php foreach($models as $model): ?>
    <li><?php echo $model->name; ?></li>
    <?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>
<?php endif; ?>

Then call this widget from your main layout. main.php // your code ...

<?php $this->widget('CategoryWidget') ?>
