Hi,
I have not been developing with cake for long, but from what I have
used so far I can certainly see how good it is!
For a project I have just started on, I wanted to hook up a new
datasource that would allow me to connect to the rackspace cloud.
I dutifully set up a new datasource and with a little bit of 'pr()'
inside the datasource, found I was able to connect succesfully.
The problem is that I need to pass the variable created when
establishing the connection out, for use in the controller?
e.g. it may be esablished in the datasource like so:
class CloudfilesSource extends DataSource {
public $conn;
public function __construct($config) {
parent::__construct($config);
$auth = ***;
$auth->authenticate();
$conn = new CF_Connection($auth);
$this->conn = $conn;
}
}
but how can I access this $conn outside of the datasource? I though I
would just be a case of $this->Model->conn but this just doesn't work!
Any help appreciated
