Ps if your model class is named Con *only* because the db table is named cons - then just useTable your way out of that paper bag. Pps - filenames should be lower case.

I'd suggest you've got 2 choices if you want a class/file named Con: 1) don't use windows 2) just include (whatever name you like, contains class Con.php) yourself. See the docs on app import for loading unconventional classes. Check out the new CakePHP Questions site http://cakeqs.org and help others with their CakePHP related questions.

Re: Change the File Name for a Model
Thanks all guys! seems i cant achieve what i want. I'll change the class name and make the changes elsewhere in the app. as a sidenote (and a general query), cake stresses on convention over configuration, but doesn't it provide configuration for the desperate and crazy cases (like me ;-) )?

An odd windows "problem" But why do you want to give a model a name that doesn't mean anything?

I looked it up- there are about 20 reserved words that you can't use in windows file/folder name... throwbacks from the old dos days: http://ionicflux.wordpress.com/2006/09/02/windows-reserved-words/ On Aug 12, 7:31 pm, cricket wrote: > On Thu, Aug 12, 2010 at 8:23 PM, Miles J wrote: > > Erm I mean $useTable. > > >http://book.cakephp.org/view/1057/Model-Attributes#useTable-1059 > > Yes, that should work.

Create the model Contact.

Re: Change the File Name for a Model
How many places in the application already use the "Con" class name? Is there any way to change the table name? If not you can use "contact" for everything else(using $useTable = 'Con') and just document the irregularity. On Aug 12, 5:33 pm, sanedevil wrote: > And i thot it would be something simple.

Re: Change the File Name for a Model
And i thot it would be something simple. Damn it! thanks euromark! the table's already called Con and hence want to keep the name consistent throughout the app to avoid the typical issues that a softie faces :) You can imagine the nightmare when I start using two names in the app. I really hope theres a way out.

WOW didnt know that.. crazy :) this would not be very straight forward. maybe with manual includes and stuff but why not naming it Contact and contact.php?

Change the File Name for a Model
Table name: cons Class name: Con File name: Con.php However, windows doesn't allow you to create a file named "Con".
