Hello,
I'm rolling my own helper and noticed that Helper has these functions:
Helper->model() // Gets the currently-used model of the rendering context.
Helper->modelID() // Gets the ID of the currently-used model of the
rendering context.
It would be handy to get the model name and model ID in the helper because
it'll help with DRYness. I don't want /the/ model, just the name and ID. For
example:
$confirmMsg = sprintf('Are you sure you want to delete the %s',
$this->model());
The Helper class methods are utilising
View->model
View->modelId
defined here: http://api13.cakephp.org/view_source/view/#line-216
However, I just get 'null' for both on every view.
Have they been deprecated? Or should I do something to make sure they're not
null?
Thanks,
Doug

The OP doesn't get an answer about why they're null. Just an alternative
method and a query about whether it is breaking the MVC approach...
