Re: Multiple controllers linked to a single model

You can set: var $uses=array('ModelName') in each of the controllers.

But just my opinion:

Don't name the table "objects" because your model name would be Object which is a class that already exists in CakePHP.

Second, why link multiple controllers to one model. Instead, link multiple models to one table.  Then you would have EventsController which automatically links to Event model which uses table 'objects'.  News automatically links to New Model which in turn uses 'objects' table.. etc

Then in the Event model for example you could have:

var $useTable='objects';

function beforeFind($queryData)

{

  return Set::merge($queryData , array('conditions'=>array('Event.item_type'=>'event')));

}

I'm just brainstorming ... :) Just let me know what you think...

I have a table called 'objects' and each record has an item_type.
for example :
row 1:
id = 1
item_type = event

row 2:
id =2
item_type = news

row 3:
id =3
item_type = booking

I have a model for the table but is it possible to have multiple
controllers accessing this model,
I want to have an events controller that will handle all the events,
news controller that will handle all the news... and so on

is this possible for cakePhp?
