Let's pretend I have a view being shown as:
<?php
echo $this->partial( 'site/testimonials/partial.phtml', array() );
?>
<?php
Let's say I have a table called "testimonials" and the purpose of this view is to only show the most recent testimonial in the database on another view.
Where during this process will I specify where the data must come from? Do I pass it in to $this->partial, or is there a better and more correct way to place the db query logic in the partial view? It's a view, so no logic is tied to it, but how then would I assign a "testimonial model" to it, and have it automatically grab the data from the db when displaying this view?
IN SHORT
Where do I place the logic to get the latest testimonial, if I want to avoid passing variables (such as the latest testimonial ID) to the partial view?
