The automagic param pushing is only done when delegated from a model.
For example you if have a model and behavior:
class Coffee extends AppModel {
var $actsAs = array('Stimulant');
}
class StimulantBehavior extends ModelBehavior {
function wakeUp(&$model) {
// Do something
}
}
If you ever try to call Coffee::wakeUp() [in a controller it would be
$this->Coffee->wakeUp(); or from inside Coffee it would be $this-
>wakeUp()], and the wakeUp() function does not exist in Coffee (or in
AppModel), then the behaviors are checked for the method name, and if
it is found, then it is called with the referring model as the first
parameter, i.e. StimulantBehavior::wakeUp(Coffee)]. This only applies
to public methods (in CakePHP: methods not starting with an
underscore).
The details can be found in /cake/libs/model/model.php [inisde
function call__($method, $params) ]
However, if called directly [say from within the behavior itself:
$this->wakeUp()], no extra parameter is pushed.
