Hi AD7six
Thank you for this info you have solved my problem. It turns out that I
had missed uploading a table associated with the last round of changes
to implement an advertising block.
As you pointed out, the "table missing" error was being masked by the
fact that the model wasn't available in appController beforeFilter().
All very convoluted! However, wrapping all of my beforeFilter() code
that used models with:
if (low($this->name) > != 'app') {
code that accesses models here ...
}
did the trick and I was able to see the right error. In the future I
will do this with all appController code that requires access to model data.
I think I will also spend some time today working out how to use Ant to
upload database changes to avoid this problem. I am loving using Ant to
build to dev, staging, and production servers. It is a powerful tool.
Thank you once again to everyone who has contributed to this discussion.
It is a hallmark of how strong the Cake community is that you have
helped me overcome a serious (if simple) problem so quickly. The Cake
framework and your support is greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Langdon
