Code style
Where to put what ------------------ Many time, writing widgets or editing Gii code, there can be the doubt if the code is following the MVC patter or not. A few suggestion can help to detected the most evident error of style. ### Controller In the controller there should be the code for collect user input, retrive models from database, rendering views. In a controller there should never be: - html code (it should be in the view) - sql code (there should never be, if is needed it should stay in a model) - field name they should be in the view. Avoiding embedding field names allow you to change the database with minimal effort. ### Views In the views (and only in the views) there should be the html code. In the view there should not be: - user input ($_GET, $_POST) input should be collected in models in the controllers, never in views. - sql code: if is neede, better to crete functions in the models The less php operation there are in the views, the best it is. Instead of concatnate 2 fields, is better to write a getter method, so you can reuse in other views. ### Models The models are used for collect user inputs and access to the database. In the models there should not be: - user input ($_GET, $_POST)you should write a function that will be called in the controller. - html code (it should be in the view) Widgets ------------------ Widgets has a behavior similar to controllers. If a widget is supposed to create lot of html, better to create a view file for it.
