perhaps your cost calculation should be in the products model. it's not taboo to put custom methods into the model, as long as it is very closely related to the model data.
if you absolutely have to call it from the controller then give your component a controller param, and in the calling controller do this $this->Findcost->controller = $this; then you have a reference back to the controller from in the component then when you call the method from the controller $this->Findcost->calculate your component can access the model $this->controller->MyModel->findAll() it can be done, and that's how you do it. but for the circumstance you give an example too, this is definitely the wrong way to do it it should either be controller method, which in this case seems best, or in other circumstances a model method --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.
