Lack of interest XenForo_ControllerHelper_ForumThreadPost usage inside the controllers

[xf_phantom]

Wouldn't it be better to fetch the helper data "before" the action or cache it or do something else to reduce the queries?


e.g.

$forumId = $this->_input->filterSingle('node_id', XenForo_Input::UINT);
$forumName = $this->_input->filterSingle('node_name', XenForo_Input::STRING);
 
$ftpHelper = $this->getHelper('ForumThreadPost');
$forum = $ftpHelper->assertForumValidAndViewable($forumId ? $forumId : $forumName);

is called in most of the forum action methods

If an addon is extending an action and needs to run before the original xf action, it needs to call in 99% of the cases the controller helpers too.
With 4 addons this results in 4 extra queries on forum_view and 8 extra queries on thread_view because of the forum AND thread query
If you would fetch the "important forum & thread data" BEFORE the action or safe it for later use, we wouldn't need to run the same code again and again and again.


Idea1: safe the data from the helpers and fetch them only if needed (e.g. different fetchOptions)
Idea 2 is to run the helper BEFORE the action and safe the data in the controller, so all childclasses would have access
Idea 3: Something like the symfony2 param converter ( http://symfony.com/doc/master/bundles/SensioFrameworkExtraBundle/annotations/converters.html would be GREAT and reduce the work extreeeeeem)
