Hmmm....okay, so the default pages controller does: var $uses = null;
Which makes me think that setting your demo app's controller to
$uses=null causes no models to load in, which then means that when it
tries to query the DB, it doesn't have any models instantiated that it
can use to do so.
So....I arrived at the right conclusion for the wrong reasons on my
last reply. Still, you should try my suggestion of just
$useTable=false in your model rather than $uses=null in your
controller.
