Thanks very much for all.
So, as i understand, the best way is to calculate rating for all blogs users in controller, and then just output all data in views (without any calculations in view file)? But how should I deal with userinfo block if i want to use it in many other pages?
Is it good practice:
My main controller now look like this:
Code:
$this->load->library('RatingCounter');
// Hardcoded. In real programm this data is fetched from database.
$content['blogEntries'] = array(
0 => array(
'id' => 5,
'title' => 'Some title',
'content' => 'Some content',
'User' => array (
'id' => 2,
'nickname' => 'body',
'points' => '25'
)
),
1 => array(
'id' => 6,
'title' => 'Some title 2',
'content' => 'Some content 2',
'User' => array (
'id' => 3,
'nickname' => 'test',
'points' => '13'
)
)
);
for ($i = 0, $size = count($content['blogEntries']); $i < $size; $i++) {
$content['blogEntries'][$i]['User']['rating'] = $this->ratingcounter->get_rating($content['blogEntries'][$i]['User']['points']);
}
$this->load->view('blog_view', $content);Main view file:
Code:
<?php foreach ($blogEntries as $blogEntry): ?>
<h1><?=$blogEntry['title']?></h1>
<?php $this->load->view('userinfo', $blogEntry['User']); ?>
<br /><br />
<?php endforeach; ?>Userinfo view file:
Code:
<!-- USERINFO -->
Username: <?=$User['nickname']?><br />
Rating: <?=$User['rating']?>
<!-- /USERINFO -->I move userinfo in a separate view file, because I want to use this userinfo in other pages.

You're passing the $blogEntry['User'] array to your userinfo view file. The same happens when you pass $content['blogEntry'] to your blog_view. You don't access $content['blogEntry'] in your blog_view, you access $blogEntry.
So you should use $nickname and $rating in your userinfo view file.
If you want to keep using $blogEntry['nickname'] in your userinfo view file, don't pass an array in the second argument when loading the view file from your blog_entry view. Just do $this->load->view('userinfo'), the variables get passed along automatically.

I think you're not right.
Yes, when I'm passing $content['blogEntries'] to a view file, I access $blogEntries. So, when I'm passing $blogEntry['User'], i should access $User.

Automatically passing is not working - error "Undefined variable: blogEntry ". :/

Hmm, could always be I'm mistaken. It'd surprise me though, seeing as I've used embedded view in the past and not adding an array as second parameter for the load->view function worked fine.
