Perhaps I have a plural typo, but I'm not sure - because the call from
the model's own controller works - only if you call from a DIFFERENT
controller does it not work. Here's a test I did:
class Message extends AppModel {
var $name = 'Message';
function get_message() {
$message = $this->find('first');
return $message['Message']['title'];
}
}
class MessagesController extends AppController {
var $name = "Messages";
function get_message() {
$this->set( 'message', $this->Message->get_message() );
}
}
And the view get_message.ctp is just: <?php echo $message ?>. If I
then go to /cake/messages/get_message then it works as expected: "TEST
MESSAGE! W00T!"
But if I then add another model:
class Test extends AppModel
{
var $name = 'Test';
var $useTable = false;
}
class TestsController extends AppController {
var $name = "Tests";
var $uses = array( 'Messages' );
function get_message() {
// Original way - works lovely.
$message = $this->Messages->find('first');
$this->set( 'fromFind', $message['Messages']['title'] );
// "Fat Model" way - receives an exception.
$this->set( 'fromModel', $this->Messages->get_message() );
}
}
With the view: <?php echo $fromFind . ":" . $fromModel ?>
If I then go to /cake/tests/get_message then it outputs the $fromFind
variable, but crashes when trying to load the get_message() from the
Messages model:
"Warning (512): SQL Error: 1064: You have an error in your SQL syntax;
etc... (as original exception)"
It's like cake can't see the custom method on the Message class from
outside it's own controller. Or I'm doing something stupid.
