you probably have already figured it out, but it works like this:
- if you do not define a model (or an array of models) to your
controller, cakePHP will automagically guess the model name by using
the Singular UpperCamelCase form of your controller name. 'tests' ->
'Test' .
- if you use $uses = array('Model1', 'Model2'); in your controller,
it'll check if those are ok, and you can access them directly.
remember you can always access related models, without the need of
$uses =array('Model1', 'Model2'); :
$this->Test->read();
and if model Foo has *any* relation with test, you may try:
$this->Test->Foo->read();
help it hopes
