I'm learning CakePHP 2.0 and MVC. Having trouble grasping the whole MVC thing. I have working models, controllers and views for all of my objects. Now I'm trying to do several things at the same time.
Overview:
- Organizations have monthly Account balances
- Divisions belong to organizations and also have Account balances
- Facilities belong to divisions and also have Account balances
For ease of use, I have stored all three sets of account balances in different SQL tables until I learn more about MVC.
I'm trying to create a method in the correct place to be able to
1. Get the current balance for each division and facility within a given organization
2. Update all balances for all facilities and divisions within a given organization at the same time
I've managed to create a Balances->update($facility_id) for one facility, but I need to do them all at once and I can't figure out where to put it and how to use the collective info from all of the Objects. I tried helpers. I tried a new model and controller. I think I was close with a helper, but I'm creating Objects in the Helper to do queries for the current balance and I know that's not MVC-smart.
Also, I haven't figured out how to trigger the method if it's not within a Controller, but that issue may resolve itself. Help?!
