Hello,
You can call a model function from a component.
Here's a way to do it:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
class MyComponent
{
private $controller;
public function initialize(&$controller)
{
$this->controller = $controller;
}
public function my_function()
{
$this->controller->Order->function();
}
}
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Just test if $this->controller->Order and/or $this->OrderItem->Order
are set, depending on your needs.
Regards,
Nico
