I don’t know if I’m wrong. But all I know is that in MVC, is that the Controllers is always responsible for calculating the data, and the View to print them.

The problem

I have a poll that I need use a model to get your data and I use a view to print. Currently I can access this poll by use the url “poll/last”. This works fine.

My problem is that I need print this info on some pages (like in “site” controller).

The Dilemma

  • If I simple load the poll view on page, nothing data is get from model. Onetime that it is work of Controller.
  • If I move all controller part to view, this works fine. The low point is that turn the application in a “non-MVC compatible”.

The Solution

So how can I solve this dilemma?
Actually the CodeIgniter not is a HMVC, and the HMVC module don’t works fine — only locally.

There are some viable solution to solve this problem?

    Controllers are not always responsible of all calculations. When those calculations are part o fthe ‘business or data model’ they should go into the model. My english is not good sometimes but i’ll try to explain with an example: Let’s say we have a table with persons data, and a column birth_date. Age() function should be in Model, because is another way of seen birth_date.

    In your case, I would try to move calc into the model, and write a partial who shows the result, and pass the resulting partial view to the main one. Something like

    $data['poll_view'] = $this->load->view('poll_partial',$this->poll_model->getPollData(),true);
$this->load->view('current_view', $data ); //that includes poll subview
