Re: Where is the correct place to put this...
If the model where pass as object to the view instead of array you would use it right away. For now i think you either set it in the controller or write it in the view, either inline if its very trivial (i think count($comments) count as it) or inside a custom helper. Or if its very trivial, have a inside the view. I think the best way would be to use a custom helper in the view. $custom-countComment($comments) [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Sorry to once again start another new thread but im having trouble finding where i should put functions to which i would use inside the view. I wish to create a countComment($post_id) function that will do... well what it says on the tin and return a count of the comments for the $post_id given. Would this function go in the model? and if so how do a reference it in the view? I also have a number of formatting functions i will be creating that will need to take data, change it then return it back. Im assume these should go in the model as well? or should i be creating these as components? -- Mathieu Gagnon, programmation web 2649 Bourbonnière appt. 6Tel.: (514) 256-9437 Montréal (Québec) H1W 3P5Courriel.: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Cake PHP group.

Re: Where is the correct place to put this...
If you are using recursion and association you simply count the related array to get the records. count($data['Comment']). I would advise against making a requestaction call to retrieve it or putting hack code in the view. Another more elegant solution is to utilize the afterFind. Just remember that any virtual fields you add only work on find calls. So you would need to use findById() instead of read(null, $id). or even the setid, read. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Cake PHP group.

Re: Where is the correct place to put this...
Like other people said, if you already have data set, count($comments) would be good.If you are only interested to the count and not having the data, then I would do$num_comment = $this-Comment-findCount(array(post_id = $post_id)); $this-set(num_comment, $num_comment);For the formatting functions, if you are formatting data to fit the database format, then I would put them in a component. If you are are formatting data for the view, I would put in a helper. I think that is the difference and the purpose. Although, I feel that there should be one more thing that combines these two, but that's off topic.Sohei --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Cake PHP group.

Re: Where is the correct place to put this...
So how does afterFind() work? It sounds just like what i need to add the comment count to the array. There does not seem to be much documention about how you use it, im i right in thinking i just add the function in the model and add any ammendments to it there? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Cake PHP group.

Re: Where is the correct place to put this...
Yeah, you just define it as a method in the model. It takes the query
results as a parameter, and returns those results to the findAll
method, i.e.:
function afterFind($results) {
for ($i = 0; $i count($results); $i++) {
// Edit the arrays here...
}
return $results;
}
