Re: cakephp model problem

cake learner,

I've been able to get the controller object and it's models into my
components like this:

// in the component
function initialize(&$controller, $settings=array()) {
$this->controller = $controller;
$this->model = &$controller->{$this->controller->modelClass};
$this->data = &$controller->data;
}

The references (&) may not be quite right. They work, but I'm still
fumbling around a little as I learn things.

That's made my components smart enough to respond to multiple
controllers.

Later in component functions I can do normal finds like this:
$parentList = $this->model->find('list', array(
'fields' => array($this->model->primaryKey,
"indexed_name"),
'order'=>'lft desc',
'recursive' => 2));

This example works on Tree structures so many controllers and models
need to be fed in. I've even been able to define virtualFields for the
model from inside the component.

Regards,
Don Drake
