Hi Kez, You say: "I need to perform a fairly complex operation on one column for each row... "
If these complex operations are primarily about how to present the data, then a Helper is most appropriate. If you would consider them to be more business logic than presentation logic, then you have other options. "...which involves data from another controller." Is the data truly from another controller, or is it mainly from that controller's model? If the controller, then you could call requestAction() of the other controller from your current one, and pass the result on to the view. If this data is really model based, consider putting it straight into your model- that way it's available directly. If both these controllers' models are related, you can access an associated model with someting like $this->CurrentModel->AssociatedModel->getData() Hope that's helpful... --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.
