One model for user and admin - El Forum - 10-27-2007

Hi,
Is it a good idea to have only one model for user and admin? Let's say it is news model nad the are methods like news acceptation, getting last x news, deleting news and so on.
I'm waiting for your answers and advice

I'm far from an experienced developer but I was going to say split it up... But then I figured it basically depends on how your administration part is going to look like and be used... You might be using the same/similar codes for listing news and such which would kind of be against the DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself) and the MVC logic.
I would say do as you wish, since, from my limited experience, I can't see any problem with either.
Regards,
Lockzi

For my experience, I am used to keep all relative datas in one model.

Another vote for 1 model. The controllers should be able to handle the access permissions.

I will vote for one model as well. However it should be kept simple and not a 10gb file.

Thanks for your replies
It wouldn't be a 10gb file - there are only 10-15 methods to keep so I think one model is comfortable and acceptable solution.
