Hello, In CakePHP 1.3, how do I use a function in a custom datasource, from a model that uses that datasource?
My custom datasource works for regular queries, but I want to extend the default "find" method to include a new parameter. In app/models/ datasources/foofiles_source.php I have a function to find video files on the filesystem. For testing, it is: class FoofilesSource extends DataSource { public function find_videos($videoQuery) { return(array("This is in the foo_files datasource!", "w00t!")); } … In the FooFiles model, I have: function find($type, $options = array()) { switch($type) { case "videos": $this->find_videos($options); break; default: return parent::find($type, $options); break; } } However, $this->find_videos($options) produces a fatal error: Fatal error: Call to undefined method FoofilesSource::query() in cake/ libs/model/model.php on line 502 If I use FoofilesSource::find_videos($options) instead, I get the error: Fatal error: Class 'FooFilesSource' not found in app/models/ foo_files.php on line 11 How do I invoke a function in the datasource, from a model?
