well I thought the model instance was already loaded but I can't
explain why the behaviour is not the same if I access the model A
instance.
I mean :
in my action A : there seems to be a instance of model A
in my action B (called in action A) : a different instance of model A
that is what I deduce from testing with the following code :
in model A construct method : $this->get_media_by_types = false.
in controller :
function test() {
$this->autoRender = false;
$this->Media->get_media_by_types = true;
pr("controller : : " . $this->Media->get_media_by_types);//
prints
out 1 (true)
pr('request action : ' .
$this->requestAction('/media/test2'));//
prints out nothing (false)
}
function test2() {
$this->autoRender = false;
return $this->Media->get_media_by_types;
}
I deduce that there are 2 instances of Media model created for each
action call.
this is not the case for the same test case using $this->Item->Media-
>get_media_by_types for example.
any clues ?
