Cakephp 2 call a model function from view

cakephp, cakephp-2.1

Solution

No, it goes against the whole point of the framework and core MVC principles.

Just don't do it.

Problem

is it possible to call a model function directly from a view in Cakephp 2? I know I could call it from controller and set the value to the view, but if I could call it in the view it would be better... Thanks
