Plugin Ignores var $tablePrefix =

Out of curiosity and to organize the tables in the database I want to prefix model tables based on the plugin, so my ShoppingManager plugin models will be shop_{model name} (shop_cart, shop_orders, shop_order_items)

 

In my carts.php model:

var $tablePrefix = 'shop_'; But all I get is the Missing Database table error.

 

The shopping_manger works up to the point where I am trying to prefix the table name.

 

Where am I going wrong?

Thanks,

 

Dave
