Re: [fw-mvc] Where to put common queries injected into layout?

There's probably no one single recommendation, so I can only speak personally. Since this occurs in a layout, across many pages, the simplest solution is to query from a View Helper. Presumably you need a View Helper anyway to format the tags. This also ties the query to the layout, and not to controllers so you can dispense with any controller/action name filtering to make sure the helper is only executed as necessary.

Subject: [fw-mvc] Where to put common queries injected into layout?

Hi,

I would like to know where is the recommended place for common queries
and their results' injection into layouts, e.g.: fetching tags from
the database and inserting them into the footer in all actions within
the module. Should I use a plugin or an action helper? Or should I
just query the model right inside the layout?

Thanks,
Ádám
