MVC Public Service Announcement #6 : Modularity

[seppsters]

MVC is not a framework, it's a pattern that the framework uses.

There are some things just left to the view. I agree with a lot of the other stuff here, but I think this one is one of those ones those principles that you shouldn't have second thoughts about if the view has very complex database requirements.

Normally you can circumvent this by calling multiple views, but often this is a mess and a performance hazard.

No instanciation of objects in the view is fine, but don't be too idealistic. You start making problems harder then they really are.

Hmmmm...

You know, I have a habit of putting controller code in the model. The MVC frameworks I've used have usually had the controller handing off to the model, which then calls the view.
