If I understand you correctly, this means in 1.2 using requestAction
within elements won't affect loading times so dramatically? That's
good news!
But it is probably still good practice to keep our systems light ;)
One more question about the mini-contollers method in combination with
plugins:
I've put my component in:
app/plugins/plugin_name/controllers/components/component_name.php
The model I want to load from the component resides in plugins/models/
model_name.php but has a different name than the main plugin.
When I use loadmodel('model_name'); Cake doesn't find the model I'm
looking for, and when I use loadPluginModels('model_name'); it seems
to find the plugin's app_model, not the model in the "models" folder
(which has a different name from the plugin's app_model, because I
want to be able to have several models in one plugin folder).
How can I acces that model from within the component?
thx for the great job you did on the mini-contollers, I really use
them a lot!
