I have an admin page where I would like to display information about my posts and the campaigns in the system on a single page. There is no relation between campaigns and posts. They are two different aspects of the application .
Right now I have a page where I can display data related to posts and another page where I display data related to campaigns, however this is not what I would like to have.
Any help would be well appreciated.
Create two separate repositories for getting data from these sources - perhaps GetPostRepository and GetCampaignRepository.
Within these, write separate functions for getting the relevant data you want. Perhaps getActiveCampaigns() in the GetCampaignRepository and getActivePosts in the GetPostsRepository.
Then, in the same controller, inject these new repositories. (Jeffery Way on Dependency Injection: http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/php/dependency-injection-huh/)
You can now run these functions, get your data and send them to your view. A contrived example below:
function showPostsandCampaigns()
{
$campaign = $this->campaign->getActiveCampaigns();
$posts = $this->posts->getActivePosts();
return View::make('view')->with('campaign' , $campaign)->with('posts' , $posts);
}
