Let’s say you have a class name Space_Module_Model_LongModelName and you want to reference it as:

Mage::getModel('module/longmodelname');

This seems to work in some development environments, but doesn’t seem to work in all environments. Probably has to do with a file system case sensitivity setting.

The error that you get in environments where it doesn’t work is that the include() for Space/Module/Model/Longmodelname.php failed.

    You have a config-node in your config.xml called global/models/yourpackage in which you save your Prefix for your class models.

    When you call Mage::getModel(‘packagename/classname’) Magento fetches this config node e.g. Company_Yourmodule_Models adds a _ and then the classname with uppercase first letter:

    Company_Yourmodule_Models_Classname

    if you have cAMElcaSe classnames, it is the same way. So let’s say your class’ name is ClassName then you have to call Mage::getModel(‘packagename/className’) and magento resolves it to: Company_Yourmodule_Models_ClassName
