RE: Model not available from app_controller
Is CSS a helper you built?
If so, aren't you missing the $ ?
If you are trying to link to a CSS file in your then do:
css('css_file'); ?>
Where css_file is a reference to WEBROOT/css/css_file.css

It is a problem with the head helper. So I put all my helpers in my
app_controller and then there is an error message about
css->register().
May be someone could have an insight on this problem of missing. I feel
like turning around and around.
Thank you for your help

Re: Model not available from app_controller
Hi AD7six
Thank you for this info you have solved my problem. It turns out that I
had missed uploading a table associated with the last round of changes
to implement an advertising block.
As you pointed out, the "table missing" error was being masked by the
fact that the model wasn't available in appController beforeFilter().
All very convoluted! However, wrapping all of my beforeFilter() code
that used models with:
if (low($this->name) > != 'app') {
code that accesses models here ...
}
did the trick and I was able to see the right error. In the future I
will do this with all appController code that requires access to model data.
I think I will also spend some time today working out how to use Ant to
upload database changes to avoid this problem. I am loving using Ant to
build to dev, staging, and production servers. It is a powerful tool.
Thank you once again to everyone who has contributed to this discussion.
It is a hallmark of how strong the Cake community is that you have
helped me overcome a serious (if simple) problem so quickly. The Cake
framework and your support is greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Langdon

The reason I recommended not using var $uses in the AppController in prior releases of cake was you would have to redefine it in all child classes.

Re: Model not available from app_controller
Also more on this issue: lots of people need model logic on AppController but they don't really need the used models to be available on all controllers, which is what happens if you add it to $uses on AppControler.

RE: Model not available from app_controller
That's what I was basing on, and the post that I linked where you can see
for example Larry recommending to take out $uses in AppController.
I still believe it is better to make a component when a model is to be used
from AppController. I want AppController to deal with stuff that is general
to all controllers, and when that stuff involves model interaction I prefer
to use components.

Hi All,
It used to be true that if you declare $uses in your app controller,
you would lose the automatic "This controller has a model of the same
name unless you tell me otherwise" logic in child classes, but this
change means that it isn't true anymore:
https://trac.cakephp.org/changeset/4012/branches/1.1.x.x/cake/libs/controlle
r/controller.php
IIRC another consequence use to be that you could invoke a loop if
anything related to the models in your app controller were not correct
- but if that ever was the case, it certainly isn´t true anymore it
seems.
Irgo it seems that with a recent cake version, declaring $uses in your
app controller doesn´t cause any problems whatsoever.
WRT the OP, it's probably worth bearing this in mind:
If an error is triggered, an instance of the app_controller is used -
but models are not loaded. It would be wise to put if (low($this->name)
!= 'app') {} around the use of this model to allow you to avoid it
being run for (missing connection, missing model) errors.

I thought this might be the case too, so have tried deleting all contents in cache folder. I have even deleted the entire project and reloaded it (built from the main branch of the project on my Perforce server, so there can be no cache files hanging around from the dev server), but no change.

Thanks, I do remember that one, (hence I have the Setting model set in
the child controllers var $uses).
> Just to debug that problem do this:

Done. I now get the following error:
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class setting in
/home/justco/www/app/models/setting.php on line 2
Interestingly, when I do:
print_r($this);
In the beforeFilter in appController on the dev server I get the
following output:
homecontroller Object
(
[_log] =>
[name] => Home
[here] => /
[webroot] => /
[action] => index
[uses] => Array
(
[0] => Issue
[1] => Article
[2] => Setting
[3] => Colour
[4] => Issue
[5] => Advertisement
)
[helpers] => Array
(
[0] => Html
[1] => othAuth
)
...
When I run the same code on the production server I get:
appcontroller Object
(
[_log] =>
[name] => app
[here] =>
[webroot] =>
[action] =>
[uses] =>
[helpers] => Array
(
[0] => Html
[1] => othAuth
)
...
Unfortunately my understanding of the underlying structure of Cake isn't
strong enough to interpret this, but it explains why the Setting model
isn't available.

Langdon

Re: Model not available from app_controller
I dont know who recommends not using models in AppController, nor do i know who recommends using models in components. In fact, I would do the exact opposite. You create too many dependencies when you try to put a model in a component. Components should be interchangeable between apps without any need to worry about a model. Its possible that the production site needs to have the cache cleared. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.

RE: Model not available from app_controller
You should not use models from your AppController. If you need model logic
set it as a component and use the component from AppController.
Check this post:
http://groups-beta.google.com/group/cake-php/browse_thread/thread/17952262b3
8b7276/e2767af2ee5ce498?lnk=gst&q=&rnum=21#e2767af2ee5ce498
Just to debug that problem do this:
if (!isset($this->Setting))
{
loadModel('Setting');
$this->Setting =& new Setting();
}
$siteStatus = $this->Setting->findByName('site_status');
But again, it is strongly recommended that you don't use models at
AppController.

Asunto: Model not available from app_controller
I have a very strange problem. A site that I have developed has a
beforeFilter in app_controller.php that performs a find query on a model
(Setting) to do various set-up functions for every page. This is the
line of code that is causing the problem:
$siteStatus = $this->Setting->findByName('site_status');
