Re: Where is the Tool for the Naming Convention Generation

Just used the Inflector::slug() method yesterday. Nice for making URL
safe strings.

Inflector::slug('Hello World');
Output: 'hello_world'

It might be tricky to alter the schema, but you can use custom tables in models.

i.e. You have a 'customer' table, but the proper table name would be
'customers' with a Customer model.

You can can use the same table with the correct model name:

class Customer extends AppModel {
$public $userTable = 'customer';
}

By default CakePHP will Inflector::tableize('Customer') which will
assume the table name is 'customers'.
