I have come across this requirement/need. And this is something that I've been wondering myself, i.e: are we allowed to instantiate a model in views by the rules of MVC? >From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model%E2%80%93view%E2%80%93controller, "Overview" section, number 4 on the list. A view queries the model in order to generate an appropriate user interface > That sounds like that views are actually allowed to interact with models. So, to answer my own question above, occasionally I do use models + custom finds in views. :) -- Our newest site for the community: CakePHP Video Tutorials http://tv.cakephp.org Check out the new CakePHP Questions site http://ask.cakephp.org and help others with their CakePHP related questions.
