Question

1. I already have an existing project with many tables so I can’t change their names.
   I want to set up cake php to “hibernate” with the tables-
   so lets say i have a table called:
   “stock_realtime”
   I have set up a model in Model->”StockRealtime.php”:

   class StockRealtime extends AppModel{

   var $name = 'stock_realtime';
   

   }

and the controller is in Controller->”StocksRealtimeController.php”

class StocksRealtimeController extends AppController {

    var $name       = 'stock_realtime'; 

    function index() {
        $this->set('stocks', $this->StockRealtime->find('all'));

    }
}

and the view in a View->stocks_realtime->index.ctp

I go to the view file and I get an error msg:

Error: Call to a member function find() on a non-object 
File: C:\xampp\htdocs\s-maof-vb\stocksRT\app\Controller\StocksRealtimeController.php    

Answer 1

For your model, add var $useTable = 'stock_realtime';

For your controller add var $uses = 'StockRealtime';
