class Pie extends AppModel {
var $friendlyName = 'A tasty treat!';
var $actsAs = array('Tasty'); // Optional
}
class AppController extends Controller {
function beforeFilter() {
if (!empty($this->modelClass)) {
$this->set('title', $this->{$this->modelClass}->friendlyName . '
- foooooooooood');
}
}
}
Although... some might question the wisdom of setting a view-level
parameter in the controller and the model.
