[quote author="oddman" date="1211859092"]Any sort of application logic should NOT be in ANY view. Retrieving data to be stored in a variable is application logic, retrieved from the model.[/quote]
One definition of MVC supports the views retrieving data from models. Actually, it's a good way of creating a more modular application and reducing redundant code.
