Re: Calling an associated model function

Is your callthis() method actually named "threadedpages"? Or, does the
method call another method by that name? This error usually occurs
because a model method cannot be found (regardless of it being
principal model or not). eg.

Are you certain that you have the correct spelling and case (eg. not
threadedPages)?
