Question

Im trying to load one appmodel to many controllers. For example i have appmodel called Item and i want to get some items in HomeController and ContactController. When i execute this code:

class HomeController extends AppController {
    public function index() {
        $items = $this->Item->find('all');
        $this->set('items', $items);
    }
}

I got this error:

Call to a member function find() on a non-object

How can i get thing from database in many views in CakePHP?

Answer 1

you need to declare which model you want to use in your controller.

class HomesController extends AppController {
  var $uses = array('Item', 'AnotherModel');

}
