where should I place the calls to my class? - El Forum - 03-25-2011

Hello everybody,
I'm new in codeigniter and MVC pattern.
I've been reading about MVC theory and codeIgniter and I am not sure where should I place the calls to my class. Should I place it in the model or in the controller? According to the user guide (http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-guide/general/creating_libraries.html) I should make the calls from the controller, but acccording to this tutorial (http://php-html.net/tutorials/model-view-controller-in-php/) I should make the calls from the model.
Thanks in advance for your help.
PD: English is not my natural language...

If it does not pertain to the database put it in the controller
Models should only handle database interactions.

False. Models contain business / domain logic. They are not merely restricted to database access.

I agree with the tutorial, I think that the model can handle business logic and database operations, and my class will only contain properties... but I am not sure if it's ok to call the class from the controller, and that's what i'm trying to know.

I don't see anything wrong to put call to the class in controller.
