Re: Proper MVC location for a function and its call

Tarique: Thank you, so much.

Yes, this is just being used by the one model. (If it was being used by more, then where would I put it?)

So, per your instruction, I placed $this->TopicTree->getLevel($id); in one of my controller functions and successfully call it from a view. It in turn successfully passes the id and calls the function (confirmed by debug) I have in my model. But the function, when places in the model, does not return any data as it did when it was placed in the controller. What am I missing? I'm very new, so it will be very obvious!

Here, as above, is the function, in TopicTree model, I'm successfully calling from my controller.

public function getlevel($id=null) {

$count = count($this->TopicTree->getPath($id,array('TopicTree.id')))-1;

return $count;

}

Is the problem that the function, now that it is in the model and not the controller, does not know which data to access?

I do, so very much, appreciate your help.

Kevin
