Samuel, I think you may have misunderstood what I was trying to ask. What I was wondering is why is findAll() highlighted in the Manual as a function you use with Models only to have that general strategy contradicted by the blog tutorial where findAll() is used in the controller and the Model are for the most part empty.
I can see the logic of either approach, the model is dumb and the controller does the heavy lifting and feeds it to the model --or-- the model takes care of itself and the controller just worries about managing user input. But I'd like to know why these two different strategies were chosen using cake under one Manual. Is there a difference between one approach and the other or not? Is one academically better? Does one offer better performance? Are there any latent differences between using the method in the model or the controller? Can it be said that consistency in your approach is more important than which of the two strategies you select or are there cases where you would want one over the other? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.
