Hi all, I am a newbie to MVC, CodeIgniter and Doctrine, so maybe my question is not that relevant. Pardon me if thats the case. I've been reading the CodeIgniter + Doctrine tutorials on PHPandStuff.com. I really like whatever I have seen of Doctrine and wish to use it for my project. However, since all database related operations shoul...
Hi everyone, another ASP.NET MVC question. Assume the following scenario. You have three controllers: getFirstData getSecondData useFirstData The workflow of your site requires that the user first uses the getFirstData controller, and inputs some data (lets say an int) in the view.

I have 3 forms on my View. Each of these all post back to a different action. When the action is complete, I call my original Action that led the user to the page originally, but MVC is looking for a view of the postback Action. How can I get MVC to post to an action of a different name of the current view, while still having it reloa...
Hey, I seem to be climbing a pretty horrible learning curve. It's taking me hours to even get to the point where I can structure/write code. I originally wanted to be able to store a form or a model inside its respective module, for example: ./application/module/ModuleName/forms/ClassName.php but when I tried to instantiate a class w...

Hello. I have a nested controller that works fine, and I'd like to setup rspec to also test a nested controlled, but it doesn't test the controller unless I specify it. i.e. my rspec test controller is here: /spec/controllers/organizations/memberships_controller.rb but when I run rspec to test everything, it tests everything except th...
In my app I have a Controller that's started by the main method. The controller initializes hooks, database connections, the UI, another connection, and other things. It holds most of the state of the program (no, its not a Singleton). In another example there's a controller for the bot that handles interpreting and sending out of comman...

I need to redirect any Authenticated user to a specific page if they do not satisfy a condition. I have implemented a base controller from which all controllers inherit. In its OnActionExecuting override I plan to perform my test for the condition and redirect to the specific action if the condition is not met. Is this the most sens...
I'll start off by saying my terminology might be off, which is why I might be having trouble finding an answer to this question, and apologising for the wall of text. I have a strongly-typed view that inherits from a custom type called Record. Record has a dictionary of named fields of varying datatypes - some strings, some ints, some D...
