It works fine; looks like your variables are mixed-up.
You've got `var $friendlyName=...` in the model and `$model-
>friendlyDisplay` in the controller.
If this *still* doesn't work, try using `$this->{$this->modelClass}-
>name` first:
[1] $friendlyName does not work, $name does : variable name typo
[2] Neither work : model name typo [make sure the primary model is
first if you're using uses()]
Must say though; if you stuck to cake conventions and called your
model 'CustomerProductReview' (table: customer_product_reviews) then
it would be compatible with Inflector::humanize() which is what the
bake script [and scaffolding] use. Of course if your friendly name is
to be more complicated than simply adding spaces, this is irrelevant.
