Re: Recommendation Algorithm in cakePHP

Business-related DATA-connected logic is best residing in the Model, yes but there are still other considerations.
What if your logic was somehow VIew-related? For example you had to show some complex three-like structure and you wanted to pre-process it on the server?
A model would do of course, but you could also use a Helper to encapsulate the logic.

It all comes down to a developer's decision.
Get to know the life of a typical Cake Request. It contains the specific implementation details of MVC in CakePHP.

If you're putting your complex algorithm in a Model Class you could do so in a separate model - i.e. you do not need to put the logic in any specific model if it is not logically connected to only one Model.
You can have a "table-less model" in Cake just by setting the Model's $useTable property to FALSE or NULL.

Anyway anything is possible of course.

Hello guys, I want to do an app that will recommend itens for users, there will be a complex algorithm behind it, and seeing the structure of cake I m a little bit confuse

Is this possible to do it in cackphp(I mean, any complex's algorithm)? If so, where would I put this algorithm? At the model or controller?

Thanks guys!
