[quote author="waldmeister" date="1250166908"]Why not do it all in the model?

Code:

//in your controller
function show_product_list()
{
  $data = array();
  $data['product_list'] = $this->Model_name->get_product_list()
  $this->load->view('my_view_name', $data);
}
//in your model
function get_product_list()
{
  $query = $this->db->get('product');
  $return = array();
  foreach($query->result_array() as $key => $product)
  {
    $return[$key] = $product;
    $return[$key]['num_image'] = $this->get_num_image($product['id']);
    $return[$key]['num_video'] = $this->get_num_video($product['id']);
    // and so on
  }
  return $return;
}

//in your view
print_r($product_list); // or whatever you want to do

looks very promising. I am gonna try it now.
