I have an index action in my users_controller that get a list of users. For each user i want to calculate the number of projects they have associated (one user => many projects). I was thinking of using a method like getProjectTotal and calling it for each user. Would I put this method in the users_controller and call it like
$this->getProjectTotal($id)
in the view?
Thanks,
Jonesy
Sure. It sounds like this is just a helper method based on the call. I do that all the time. I’ll typically set the method visibility to private or at least protected to keep it from being called accidentally in a rendering scenario.
