Hi clemos! Thank you for your helpful answer. Another question: Is the $uses variable also necessary if my model benlongsto the otherModel? Means it is already included in the $belongsTo array. Or does the belongsto-relation only work for the foreignkey connection?
Thanks a lot! Anja -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: cake-php@googlegroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Im Auftrag von clemos Gesendet: Montag, 6.

Hi Yes, it is almost total nonsense, IMHO, because you shouldn't need to go through controllers to pass data from one model to another... Accessing to a model from another associated model is done like that: $other_model_data = $this->OtherModel->getValues($othermodelid); // "$this" reprensents your Hotel model If your other model is not already associated, you can add it to the $uses property of your first model to access it: var $uses = array("AssociedModel1","AssociedModel2","OtherModel"); ++++++ Clément On Mon, Oct 6, 2008 at 12:15 PM, Liebermann, Anja Carolin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hello, > > I have a method in a model and want to read values from another model > in a method. > > Model: Hotel > > function getanothermodelsvaules($othermodelid){ > //some code > $othermodel = > $this->requestAction($this->othermodels/getMyValues/'.$othermodelid); > //some more code > } > > Question: Is this complete nonsense?
