Is there any way to change the primary Model of a controller?
Why you ask? I have a good answer for you, I hope.
First off I was told that overuse of the $uses variable is not a good
idea. So now that that is established, let us also establish that I
use paginate a lot. 3-4 times per Controller.
So I am paginating in a controller by several Models which are related
to a Model which is not the pimary Model of the controller. Right now
in order for this to work I have to add each model I'm paginating by
to the $uses array. I looked at the paginate code. If I was able to
change the primate Model of a Controller ($this->modelClass) to a
model that I set, then I would be able to use the $uses variable far
less.
I don't care too much, but I'm thinking if I can do this one thing it
will reduce memory usage and make things slighty faster. As well as
being a bit cleaner cake code.
I posted this on IRC before.. I'll just post it again for show.. my
lovely $uses array.
var $uses = array('Customer', 'CustomersContact', 'CustomersRep',
'CustomersAddress', 'CustomersPhoneNumber', 'CustomersComment',
'CommentsCategory', 'Vehicle', 'VehiclesYear', 'VehiclesMake',
'VehiclesModel', 'VehiclesTrim', 'StoreLocation', 'User',
'CustomersStatus');
Thanks
Rob
