Question

CakePHP problems by not getting the _schema

my model in cakephp:

<?php
App::uses('AppModel', 'Model');
/**
 * Product Model
 *
 * @property Image $Image
 * @property Client $Client
 */
class Product extends AppModel {
/**
 * Display field
 *
 * @var string
 */
    public $displayField = 'title';


}
?>

My controller in cakephp:

$this->Product->recursive = -1;
var_dump($this->Product->_schema);

var_dump gives me null

I do the same with another table in BBDD and get results.

Results another table in BBDD:

PD:

my table:

CREATE TABLE `products` (
  `id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `title` varchar(150) NOT NULL,
  `description` text,
  `characteristics` text,
  `urlvideo` varchar(255) DEFAULT NULL,
  `pdf` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
  `type` int(11) NOT NULL,
  `created` datetime NOT NULL,
  `modified` datetime NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB  DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 AUTO_INCREMENT=4 ;

->_schema stores a cached copy of the schema of a model. If you haven’t run any queries on the model, it will be empty.

Try calling:

$this->Model->schema()

(which fetches the schema, caches it in Model->_schema, and then returns the data)
