Hello,

CakePHP seems to be ignoring the $useDbConfig variable in my model.
I'm trying to use a custom datasource, but I'm getting the error:

Database table foo_files for model FooFiles was not found.

When I first loaded the model and new datasource, there were typos in
the datasource file which caused errors, so I know that the datasource
file is actually being loaded. Why is CakePHP still looking for a
database table?

My model, app/models/foo_files.php, contains:

class FooFiles extends AppModel {
       var $name = 'FooFiles';
       var $useTables      = false;
       var $useDbConfig = 'foofiles';
}

The app/config/database.php file has:

       var $foofiles = array(
               'datasource' => 'foofiles',
               'workshopsdir' => '/some/dir',
       );


My new datasource, app/models/datasources/myfiles_source.php, contains
(summarized):

class FoofilesSource extends DataSource {

 protected $_schema = array(
       'files' => array( ... )
 );

 public function listSources() {
   return array('files');
 }

 public function describe($model) {
   return $this->_schema['files'];
 }

 public function read($model, $queryData = array()) {
       $workshopsDir = $config['workshopsdir'];
       if(!isset($queryData['conditions'])) $queryData['conditions'] =
'all';

     $events = array();
       switch ($queryData['conditions']) {
               default:
               return(glob("$workshopsDir/*"));
               break;

               case $array[] = 'videos':
                       ...
               }
 }


Any advice would be appreciated!
